It's been a bit since I posted here, but I've got an odd issue.
I have the DOS versions of MW2 (the v1.1 IBM disc), GBL and Mercs. It took a bit, but I finally got the whole "mounting in DOSBox" thing figured out at long last. Because of that, I was able to finally play MW2 with music without having to install virtual drives, and without needing the cracked exes that I found on these forums a long time ago. I just mounted the MW2 CUE file in DOSBox, installed MW2 from the IMG file, and went right into the game without issues. However, that same method isn't working for GBL or Mercs.
I was able to get GBL and Mercs installed after mounting their respective CUE files in DOSBox, and the games do seem to run fine. But their music simply doesn't play. The music tracks are there when I fire up Media Player and whatnot, so I know the discs have them. But in-game, they don't come up. I've made sure that the mounted drive in DOSBox is drive D, that way the games are in the first CD-Rom drive. The games themselves are obviously detected fine when it comes to installation, or else they wouldn't have been installed. So I'm confused as to why the audio tracks aren't being read off of the GBL and Mercs IMG files, while the MW2 image plays the music just fine using the same install method.
I've tried looking around online, but I didn't find much of anything to help with this. I searched these forums as well, but I didn't come across any real help with the terms I typed in. I don't know if I screwed something up, or if the GBL and Mercs discs do something differently that would prevent the audio tracks from playing in-game. But, any insight would be much appreciated.
I should note, I'm using just DOSBox. No front ends, no side programs, just DOSBox 0.74-3.
Thanks for reading and for any help that comes my way.
