how about mounting it without any flag.

I'll try tonight and get back to you (if I remember to).

Wasn't there a similar problem with 0.62? Or was it 0.60? Anyway, you could mount, but a dir showed absolutely nothing. Yet type filename.txt worked...

that problem was fixed. it was caused by the fact that our internal commands used the wrong dta

MiniMax: that does sound very similar to my problem.

Qbix: is it possible that you missed a case where the problem MiniMax mentioned might occur?

The temporary DTA is at a safe place.
But: something seen in Little Big Adventure, the
CD version: for some reason they have a segment
in the dosbox dos area (d000 segment) which i could
not get hold on where/why they do that. Now
CMscdex::GetDirectoryEntry uses the dos area to
read in a sector and overwrites stuff by that,
resulting in errors.

Try to change the value of dos_memseg in
dos_tables.cpp, that is in DOS_SetupTables something
like dos_memseg=0x9000; and watch for
MSCDEX: Get DirEntry messages in the debugger log.

I have a version of X-Wing on something called Collector's CD-ROM:

Seems to work fine with DOSBox 0.63 and pre-compiled CVS version from Marts 24.

How did you mount it? Is it on a physical CD-ROM, or an ISO, or a directory on your hard drive?

Nothing out of the ordinary. Here's my dosbox.conf (K: is my physical DVD):

Edit: Tried with an ISO-file created by IsoBuster 1.7. No problem:

1 imgmount D "M:\X-WingCD.iso" -t iso -fs iso

Tried this mount command:
mount d "r:\"

Same result:

I'll try installing IsoBuster (haven't since I got my new computer a few months ago) and analyzing the CD.

EDIT: Looks like the filesystem on his disk is wacked-out. NTVDM gives "the parameter is incorrect" errors and weird dates for the files when I use it to do a dir.

EDIT 2: Confirmed. ISOBuster shows the dates being all wacked-out. That's what I get for replacing my misplaced floppy version with a pirated CD version. Sorry for the false alarm, guys. 😊

I'm having install issues. Every time I try to install it tells me I must do so from the CDrom. I've mounted my cd drive as e:, but it still won't let me.

What is the exact, entire mount command you're using?
