Alrighty, I am kinda new at DOS gaming (Usually I do not play DOS games (excluding Duke Nukem 3D, Doom and those games))

Anyways, I am trying to run Riva on dosbox, I got it installed and all but it seems that game can't read the CD (Image)

I have been trying to use different commands and so on.

IMGMOUNT and everything, can somebody help?

Edit: I also tried to mount my virtual CD-drive too... but no success..
Edit2: Riva seems to be supported, I guess I am doing something wrong...
Edit3: I usually do this:

mount c c:\DOS\ (My DOS games are there)
mount e e:\ -t cdrom (Virtual Drive) or imgmount d c:\DOS\rivacd.iso -t iso

and then I have typed c: and \riva\riva.exe

But still the game asks for the CD

Edit4: My OS is Windows 7 64-bit, so thats why I am using VM, XP 32bit on it.

Shadows over Riva have 12 CDA tracks. So, your .iso is abadonware, then...

Asus P4P800 SE/Pentium4 3.2E/2 Gb DDR400B,
Radeon HD3850 Agp (Sapphire), Catalyst 14.4 (XpProSp3).
Voodoo2 12 MB SLI, Win2k drivers 1.02.00 (XpProSp3).

Mine CD is second CD of Realms of Arkania trilogy. (I do not have physical CDs anymore). Music and everything worked before, long time ago...

Edit: So does it mean that I can't play this game or...? I am bad at using dos programs... 😒 I got first computer 14 years ago, somekind mac and windows had 95 already and my family used mostly mac on then, when 98 came out, dos started to be rare thing... So I do not have much expierence on it.

Damn 😒 Riva is one of the best RPGs ever. So, its not going to work? Any suggestions what to do? Why the game worked on W98 time? Also, do I have to buy the game from gog.com to play it, image does not work?

Edit: I am sorry if I cause too much trouble 😒
