Hey guys. This thread implies that bumping is all right, so…

I found an old never‐used MechWarrior 2 Mercenaries CD “3D Enhanced Edition” lying around, so I’ve been trying to get it working. DOSBox v. 0.72 on OpenBSD. Installation went fine with the CD, but trying to run the program afterwards caused the standard “CD-Rom not found” error.

Made a Cue/Bin image:

Copied both to ~/dosbox. However, DOSBox crashes whenever I mount the image (with imgmount d ~/dosbox/MERCENARIES.cue -t iso), leaving this on the terminal:

“Segmentation fault (core dumped)”

What could be causing this?

Hi I'm a newb with dosbox and am really trying hard to play mercs again. I have been steadily making progress but it's been rough. I'm running dosbox .65 and every time I launch a mission it says causeway error 12 not enough memory. I've seen a host of solutions, but a lot of them take basic information like cd imaging for granted; I don't know what that is. If anyone can help me get this game running again I'll proclaim your greatness around the world.

hmm, i'm told it should work with .65 and .73, but no version works without first correcting an image-mounting-related problem, or a memory allocation problem, and I have no idea how to solve either of them. thanks though.

I also don't know how to install the 1.05 and 1.06 patches. anyone know?
