i got this game to load on dosbox using the cdrom that was inserted. but i forgot the code. i have been trying to get it to run by cd not iso or bin again but it wont load properly. any config files which are made for the cds would be good. maybe somebody can lead me in the right direction.

Remember in your last thread when you were told to post DOSBox questions in the DOSBox subforum? And I provided you with that link to 60 seconds guide to getting your game to run in DOSBox ?

In any case, it is difficult to help you if you cannot say more about what exactly you are doing. Please try to be as precise as possible.

i am trying to get the computer game ripper to run off the discs provided.
i have tried running the disk drive in dosbox with the ripper.exe but it only encounters problems running.
i did get it to work once but have forgotten how i did it.

figured it out. thanks for your help anyway.

Now that you've created a thread, maybe you can explain how you solved your problem for the benefit of future Googlers who may encounter similar difficulties?

Sure. It took me a full sleepless night to figure it out,

Type, mount d d:\ -t CD-ROM

Then your hard drive which you installed the game onto,

mount c c:\cdripper
(That’s the folder)

Type, d:

D:

D:\cd install

D:\install\ripper

Then boom! It runs perfectly.

...I don't know how it took you a full sleepless night when that's pretty much exactly what it says in the 60 Seconds Guide I linked to? But thank you for posting that. Perhaps you will save someone else a "full sleepless night".

Also, it's "-t cdrom", not "-t cd-rom".
