Does anyone know how to get this game working with CD support? If I copy the CD contents to a directory and mount it as a cd-rom, the game says it can't find the CD (even with the proper labeling). If I mount my physical CD-ROM drive with the CD in it the game runs, but it opens the CD-ROM drive door, and if I try closing it, it just opens it back up (the game continues to run though, without music of course). Am I able to mount an ISO image of a CD in DosBox at all? I'd really appreciate it if anyone could help me get this game running 100%

Well I got it to run with a mounted image (using imgmount) but I still don't get any music... the CD is setup such that Track 1 is Data and Tracks 2-31 are Audio. Anyone have any ideas?

Make a bin/cue image and mount the cue file in DOSBox. Be sure that the path in the cue file directs to the bin file. Works for me for Little Big Adventure which have some audio tracks.

Cool that worked... thanks. Looks like the music is slightly faster than the animations... but at least it works. 😀

Hi, although the post is a bit old I've been trying to make the cd work as you said, creating bin/cue image a mounting it with imagemount but with no success. Could you tell me how exactly (program used to create the image and commands used) you made it work? cheers 😎

bin/cue is pretty simply. The program does everything for you. All you need to do once the process is done is mount the .cue file NOT the .bin. (The .cue tells the program how to access the .bin).

What program are you using? I've used Blindwrite/Cdrwin/isobuster bin/cue images.

Thanks for answering. Well I did that. As said, I create bin/cue with Ultraiso or with Isobuster. I mounted the cue file with image mount and has never worked. I´ll give it a try with the other 2 programs you mentioned but I doubt that the problem is there 😎

Finally, I got it 😊 😊 The point wasn't the bin/cue software but the way to use it. The CD is a mix CD, data+audio and I suspect that DOSbox and imgmount is not good with this kind of image. But after creating the bin/cue files I mounted them with daemon tools and then mount a CD-rom unit with the virtual one from daemon loaded with the bin/cue image and that works perfect. In any case thanks for the discussion, that's always helpful. Cheers 😎

I once made a bin/cue image of a Data+audio game CD. It still works, so dosbox does support audio tracks. However, I was using Ogg Vorbis for the audio part and wrote the cue with a text editor. Maybe dosbox doesn't support all variants that CD ripping software create.
