Thats because I dont understand the guide. i'm very limited when it comes to all of this.
i think i see a bug in the guide...
post exactly what you type after starting dosbox
mount C C:\dosbox\dosroot\const
Drive C is mounted as local directory C:\dosbox\dosroot\const\
imgmount D C:\CONS.iso -t iso
MSCDEX installed.
Drive D is mounted as C:\dosbox\dosroot\const\CONS.iso
C:\
game.exe
Error = Constructor CD must be in drive
should be this:
mount C C:\dosbox\dosroot
Drive C is mounted as local directory C:\dosbox\dosroot
imgmount D C:\CONS.iso -t iso
MSCDEX installed.
Drive D is mounted as C:\dosbox\dosroot\CONS.iso
cd const
C:\
game.exe
but you have to install it first like that
so first:
mount C C:\dosbox\dosroot
Drive C is mounted as local directory C:\dosbox\dosroot
imgmount D C:\CONS.iso -t iso
MSCDEX installed.
Drive D is mounted as C:\dosbox\dosroot\CONS.iso
d:\
install
Ok i've deleted the game and re-installed it as you said above from the iso which went fine. Then tried running it as you said above and it still asks for the CD.
how have you created the .iso?
I did it with a program called Free ISO Creator, from the original game CD.
"Free ISO Creator is a tool to create ISO image from your files and folders."
So it simply creates a new cd and that is wrong. You have to use a tool that makes an image/mirror of the cd.
Ah right ok. I re-did the iso with MagicISO and it runs at last. Thanks for your help robertmo. Now to try Toonstruck.
Is there anyway for me to create a shortcut to these CD games to save me typing that in each time?
its in the 60 seconds guide too 😉
Thanks got it working great. Just one final question..when I exit the game it returns me back to dos and I have to type exit. Is there anyway to set it up so when I click quit from the games menu it exits dosbox too?
yes there is.
might be in the 60 seconds guide. else it is in the readme.
