sorry this is gonno sound dumb but how do u mount a image file. I have a .cue and a .bin file. I know what they both do but i dont know how u would mount them. i tryed it in dosbox

any help would be really helpful

Thanks,
Garcy

load the image in Deamon tools, and mount -daemon tools created- cd drive within dosbox

..or use something like

imgmount d: image.cue -t iso

oh cheers, but i still have a problem, ok ill start from the start.
I have the DOS ver 1.1 of mechwarrior 2 i install it mounting c drive and d. everything runs normal except for a few errors but people have said just ignore them. anyway i applyed the no-cd patch it runes fine but when i go into Netmech dos it says "[lease insert the Mechwarrior 2 cd-rom" now i downloaded a .cue and .bin files. My quess is that i have a different version bin file that the cd i have. ok my question is how mound i go about making a .bin file i know how to make i .cue file i just need to know abount the .bin

Thanks,
Garcy

If you use isobuster to create your CD image then isobuster will create the .bin and .cue files for you.

ok cheers m8 ill try it and tell you if it works.

help !! i get a error saying "mw2.exe -fatal #4d: SYSERR_CANTFINDVXRDRIVE : Unable to find video driver file." Plz help sorry for bringin up old topic !! 🙁

If anybody reads this thread still, thanks very much. I followed the instructions and have been really psyched with Mechwarrior 2, the reunion tour. It even plays well in 1024x768 although I haven't put the game through it's paces yet. Thanks to all who contributed.

Cheers

I can't believe this thread is still being read after all this time. Glad I could be of assistance though. Oh and by the way, DOSBox still rocks!

U can look for mech warrior in wiki, u ll find some program theat it enables it to run in 2000 and in xp, but for mercenaries u still need dos or dosbox

Nice one. Too bad that my Thinkpad X60s dies on DosBox+MW2 Mercs (I know this thread is specifically about MW2, not Mercs). Well, actually it's the display driver that dies, and with that whole of XP.

As I'm a SW tweaker by heart, I started examining the game with OllyDbg. After those examining sessions, I wrote few DLLs, and now I'm able to play MW2 Mercs v1.1 D3D on XP as a native app. I suspect that this solution should work with all games of the MW2-series.

Version 0.70 makes this game even run fast in 640x480 (using dos32a). Amazing!

I'm still having problems with the CD myself and the crank didn't work. So I'm back to the cd issue and i have my virtual cd mounted using daemon tools, and so i want to try to use the image mount program within dosbox, but i can't figure out how to use it and try it, any helo?

What kind of image do you have? How did you create it?

it'll work as long as it isn't virtually mounted, or if it's an ISO (but then you won't get the cool cd tracks)

The Image is a .bin I created with power ISO

so would it possibly work if I used the actual CD, and I'm using the latest DOSBox .72

no. only the bin/cue support supports the cdrom detection they use

ok then, so since i do have the .bin image to I have to mount it within dosbox or should using daemon tools be ok?

imgmount of dosbox
