So Zoombinis was an educational game I played in elementary school 15 years ago, and recently got the itch to play it for nostalgia after talking about it with friends. I have DosBox downloaded, and it is running Windows 3.1. I have it set up so that it loads stuff on launch:
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
# You can put your MOUNT lines here.
mount c c:\doswin
c:
SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\WINDOWS;
SET TEMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
Everything there works, and I can launch Windows fine by just typing win. I downloaded an .iso file for the game, unpacked it, and put it into a folder in the Windows 3.1 area. Inside of Windows 3.1, I found the setup.exe file, and ran it. It created a shortcut, and I thought everything was good. Relatively painless up to this point ( roughly 4 hours, hadn't ever done anything like this before so that is pretty good ). However, when I click on the shortcut for the game, it gives me a message saying I need to insert the game CD. After some researching, everything I could find said that I needed to put the game's .iso file into a folder in my C drive, and then enter this code into DosBox before launching Windows:
IMGMOUNT D C:/CD/ZOOMBINIS.iso -t iso
I think I understand what this is supposed to do, effectively make the fake Windows think that this .iso file in the C drive is a CD in the D drive. This works, as in Windows 3.1 there is now a D drive with the files in the CD in it, but the .exe for the game still gives the message that I need to insert the CD.
What am I doing wrong and how can I fix this?
