Hi,
My problem is that I am unable to run command & conquer - Red Alert. Whenever I run the game RA tells me to insert the CD, but I have already mounted my cdrom, with the proper arguments (-t cdrom ,etc.)

My setup is:
Debian Linux 2.4.26
DOSBox v. 0.61

And my autoexec section in ~/dosbox.conf looks like this:
@mount c /home/seph/games
@SET LASTDRIVE=Z
@mount -t cdrom d /cdrom -usecd 0 -L CD1
@mount -t cdrom e /cdrom1 -usecd 1

I have tried without specifying a type but nothing seems to work 🙁 When I installed I installed without the -usecd 0 and -L swtiches, and it worked fine, the above setup was a result of trying to different switches and combinations.
Apart from that, the installer works fine, and I have got theme park working under dosbox on this machine so I am a bit mystified 😢

I tried both CDs, same result. They are originals and I have gotten them to work on my laptop under Windows XP Home

dosbox it's cdrom features emulation isn't totally finished. especially under linux.

You could try if you can get it running in dosbox under winxp

I will move this topic to the dosbox forum
