I'm curious if maybe they are supposed to be all mounted to the same drive... which will be my next attempt...

They need to be mounted to the same drive and then you can switch the isos by hitting ctrl+option+f4 (AFAIK).

[MOVED to DOSBox Games/Apps.]

It's saying I can't mount more than 1 to each drive because disc 1 is already mounted to drive d so disc 2 cant be mounted to the same drive. DISC 2 and 3 do not have install files... they are purely movie discs for cut scenes...
I don't know how to move on to disc 2... in the game when it asks for it.

read dosbox's readme for IMGMOUNT

I have this same problem. Like the OP said the game comes with three disks, the second two of which contain only cut-scene video's.
I am running virtual clone drive to mount the iso's and using dosbox to run P2TD.
But I am hung up at the point where the game wants me to "insert disk two" . Can someone walk me through this please?

as Robertmo says, read dosbox's readme for IMGMOUNT.
It contains the description of how to properly mount multiple disks and switch between them.
Using Virtual Clone Drive is the wrong way.

Read it , but couldn't find the solution I was looking for, anyone wanna help me out?

Since you are on Windows and don't understand the Readme, why not just use the original CDs?

But anyway, again from the Readme:

IMGMOUNT A utility to mount disk images and CD-ROM images in DOSBox. ... imagefile1 imagefile2 .. imagefileN Location of […]

IMGMOUNT
A utility to mount disk images and CD-ROM images in DOSBox.
...
imagefile1 imagefile2 .. imagefileN
Location of the image files to mount in DOSBox. Specifying a number
of image files is only allowed for CD-ROM images.
The CD's can be swapped with CTRL-F4 at any time.
This is required for games which use multiple CD-ROMs and require the CD
to be switched during the gameplay at some point.
...
An example how to mount CD-ROM images...
(in Windows):
imgmount d f:\img\CD1.cue f:\img\CD2.cue f:\img\CD3.cue -t cdrom
imgmount d "g:\img\7th Guest CD1.cue" "g:\img\7th Guest CD2.cue" -t cdrom

everything is written there you just need to understand that.
And no, it took me longer to write all this than it would have taken you to read it.

I said I still had problems after reading the readme, so you copy paste the readme, plus a dickish comment at the end.... wow dude, you are one sad excuse for a moderator. Do you have any experience or training in community mgmt at all??

Listen, if you want help, lose the attitude. I asked you a question, how about answering that? What is wrong with using the original CDs?
I condensed the important parts of the readme. If you have problems with that, you best be more precise what you don't understand and less abusive. So far you have not shown any netiquette skills at all, please shape up.

The readme is indeed fairly descriptive and if there is a particular part of it that you do not understand, a more precise question may be of aid in assisting you.

A simpler method also presents itself:

When the game tells you need to change discs, just alt-tab out of DOSBox (or whatever it is you do in OSX), change the image you mounted with Virtual Clone Drive, then switch back to DOSBox and press CTRL-F4. The game should then recognize that the disc has been changed.

This is definitely not the ideal way of doing things – that would be using IMGMOUNT, as discussed above – but it should work.

The problem is that DOSBox caches things and doesn't know when you've switched the ISO in an external mounting tool.

As others have said, DOSBox supports internally mounting one or more ISOs (or BIN/CUEs), so this is generally the best way to go.

If you are uncomfortable with manually setting up DOSBox configs, I would suggest checking out the excellent D-Fend Reloaded frontend, which provides GUIs for setting up games to run in DOSBox.

Some tips for the next time you ask for help 😀

Rather than saying "it didn't work" or "couldn't find it" explain in detail what you have tried.

For example:

- I typed this command but got this error:
- Attach screenshots of your steps
- Copy / paste command line steps

HA, please, your high-handed and snotty reply just goes to show I was right to put you in your place the first time. You take way to much pride in being a mod, especially considering how inept you are at it...

That is incorrect...

THAN YOU HUNTERZ, that was the first helpful reply I've gotten since I got here.

Again, please stop the attitude. If you want to throw insults around do that somewhere else. Not here.

You are perfectly in your right to say you don't agree with me but unless you stop insulting me, we are going to have bigger issues here.

Yes, and pressing CTRL-F4 serves to inform DOSBox that the ISO has changed in an external mounting tool. It also is used to change the mounted image when multiple disks are mounted via IMGMOUNT.

Are you saying that you've tried pressing CTRL-F4 after changing the disc in Virtual Clone Drive? Did it not work?
