For those interested in an XP solution...
I am going to assume that those who are familiar with these tools will also offer additional help.
1st - Find a good ISO creation tool, actually I use two.
ISOBuster is a great tool for creating an image of the entire cd
CDMage is great for converting an image into standard format
2nd - Find and download Daemon Tools.
3rd - Use D-Fend with DosBox
I am an old keypounder and have found that these tools allow enough configurability for my tastes.
One at a time, create an image of each CD on your hard drive in a test folder using ISOBuster
For each image created, open it up in CDMage and extract the track which will create a standard iso. (Note - Daemon Tools will mount the raw image file without making an iso if you choose to use the file created by ISOBuster) I extracted the topmost level to raw bin iso using ISOBuster. This created a bin file. This is what I mounted in CDMage to create the standard iso.
Repeat this for each cd. I named them uakm.disk1.iso and so forth until I had all 4 cd's imaged. Make sure you keep the extensions on the files you created depending on your choice. These I have stored as
c:\games\isos\texmurphy\uakm.disk1.iso
c:\games\isos\texmurphy\uakm.disk2.iso
c:\games\isos\texmurphy\uakm.disk3.iso
c:\games\isos\texmurphy\uakm.disk4.iso
After installing DOSBox, also install D-Fend. When run the 1st time, D-Fend will ask you for the location of the DOSBox executable. Make a note of where you installed DOSBox.
Here's the trick for the CD changes.
After installing Daemon Tools, you'll be prompted to restart. Do so. After restart, Daemon Tools will show up in your system tray and it will be red. Right click the Daemon Tools icon, click Emulation and set all options on. The icon will turn green. Then right click again and click Virtual CD/DVD-ROM, Set number of devices... and choose 4 drives. Now this might seem a little messy when you view your drives in My Computer, but it's worth it if you want a no hassle solution to multi cd games with DOSBox.
Mount each image file you've create with Daemon Tools -- One drive for each image mounted.
Start D-Fend. I don't use the wizard to create a profile, I use the profile editor (the button with the wrench). In the Profile Settings Tab, point the program to the install.exe on the 1st mounted Daemon Tools drive. In the Mounting Tab, Mount your C:\ drive. To keep things simple, I mount the entire drive. Also, mount each Daemon Tools drive and set them to D: E: F: G:
Label D: DISK1
Label E: DISK2
Label F: DISK3
Label G: DISK4
As an aside, I usually tell D-Fend to Generate Folder Name under the Capture Folder on the Profile Settings Tab. It's a little foggy here, but I think you can tell the program OK. I have gotten a message about not having either a game exe or install exe, but I forget the sequence. Once you've created the basic profile, right click on it and choose Run Setup.
The game should install and automatically run the configuration screens for audio. I chose to Auto-Detect. All went well. In the final config screen, remember to set each mounted cd drive to their respectively assigned letters, in this case D: E: F: G: Once the changes are saved, exit the game. Find TEX197.EXE in the root of your DISK1 and copy it to C:\moon. Then point the game exe to C:\moon\tex197.exe in the Profile Settings Tab.
In the General Tab, I checked
Close DOSBox after game exit
Start fullscreen
Use doublebuffering
I also had better results with ddraw instead of surface as the Render Method choice
In the Environment Tab I set
Amount of dos memory (MB) to 63
I unchecked Enable XMS and Enable EMS
CPU Cycles are set to 10000, CPU Core to dynamic and Frame Skip to 1
Run the game and enjoy.
