Doesn't work with the SVN version either. Works with DOSBox 0.74

Same with my GoG version..

I have the GoG version as well (which I've converted into a D-Fend Reloaded profile). Using DOSBox SVN causes the following error:

What are you doing when you "inject" the new version?

The line "mount C ." is probably the problem here. If all else fails, you can replace "." with the folder that contains LBA2.DOS.

Just replaced old dosbox version with new one and edit conf file corresponding to original.
Yeah, i already tried to replaced c . with directory of the game, which looks like something like this

1@echo off
2mount C d:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Little Big Adventure 2
3imgmount d "LBA2.DAT" -t iso
4c:
5cls
6lba2.EXE
7exit

but after that game don't even show black screen anymore and exits immediately.

I'll give it a try later today.
I have the gog version

It opens the file without problem, however a bit lower it tries to open a file with a filename pointer pointing into uninited/empty memory. (filled with 0 in pmode.)

Which means? 😕

You'll probably need quotes around the path name, since it has spaces in it.

You are right, but this is still not helps much.

there is nothing you can do, aside from trying an older build to see when it was broken.

game works if you put the lba2 stuff in a subdirectory.
Maybe the game doesn't like what it gets back from getcurrectdirectory or something similar. Will need a more investigation.

This was apparently caused by GOG (maybe Steam as well) using behavior of 0.74 that was not strictly compatible with DOS, and now that it's been made compatible in SVN... yeah.

svn 3616 breaks LBA2

Thanks for answer!
As Qbix said, i just create LBA2 subfolder and copy files here and then edit conf to something like this - and game runs ok =)

1@echo off
2mount C "d:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Little Big Adventure 2"
3imgmount d "LBA2.DAT" -t iso
4c:
5cd lba2
6cls
7lba2.exe
8exit

Doesn't LBA2 have digital audio tracks? What kind of image is LBA2.DAT?

Good question. According to the DOSBox readme, the only valid types for "-t" are "floppy", "cdrom", and "hdd", so whoever made that .conf file definitely messed up more than once.

Just checked. There are 6 CDA tracks. Someone with the GOG release should check if the image can contain audio tracks.

That aside I remember that this game can be fussy about some image formats. I think BIN/CUE usually works without issue, however some types of images can mount, but the game insists that it is not the right CD. Don't remember if it was looking for the CDA tracks to ID the disc or not.

However, you can specify the file system with:

1-fs iso

Then again GOG is not known for being very adroit at conf files.

There are two versions of LBA2, with 1 audio track and with several.
Steam version has one track, other music in wav format.
FILE "LBA2.DOT" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00
FILE "LBA2.OGG" MP3
TRACK 02 AUDIO
INDEX 01 00:00:00
