You are using different mountings for installing and playing. Your mount c should be the same one you had when you installed duke3d

I keep on getting the error:

1Please put Duke Nukem 3D Atomic Edition CD in drive.

Also, in case anyone requests the CD-ROM INI file in the duke3d directory, it's contents is this: (and lowecase/upper is not the issue)

Copy code to clipboard

1D:\support\

I have verified that such a directory exists and, within it, is the .IDF file.

To elaborate on Dominus' (correct) answer:

Instead of:

MOUNT D ~/duke3d/cd -t CDROM
MOUNT C ~/dosbox/games/duke3d

C:
SETUP.EXE

Do this:

MOUNT D ~/duke3d/cd -t CDROM
MOUNT C ~/dosbox/

C:
cd\games\duke3d
SETUP.EXE

If that doesn't work try this for mounting the CD:

mount D ~/duke3d/cd -t cdrom -label DUKE3DATOMIC

The "DUKE3DATOMIC" part might not be right, check the original CD for the volume label.

If that still doesn't work, you might need to make an image of the Duke3D CD rom and mount that, Duke3D might be checking for more than just volume name.

Hi, I am having a hard time instaling/running duke3d using the dosbox
Can someone help me?

I tried the codes above and no luck...

Follow the 60 seconds guide in my signature. And THEN report back at what step it doesn't work

Thsi is my autoexec that runs Duke3d fine in dosbox on linux. You may have to edit the locations according to your locations. I convert my cd's to images so I dont have to root for the cd all the time hence the -t iso at the end instead of -t cdrom 😀

mount C "/media/sdc1/Dosbox/Duke Nukem 3D/C"
imgmount D "/media/sdb1/Dosbox CD/Duke Nukem 3D/CD/DukeNukem3D.iso" -t iso
C:
cd DUKE3D
DUKE3D
exit
