Read DOSBox's readme... I do not know now where, but in it i think at the "mount" command's description it describes how you can make yourself a virtual CD drive what will satisfy your game's needs 😀

There's a few things that will almost certainly help:

- Find out the number of the CD/DVD drive that has the CD - using the -usecd command you can achieve far better "emulation" and this is often what makes a game detect the CD for me. Read the readme for info on how to discover this number and the correct settings

- This method takes some time but is nearly always successful for one-CD games: make an ISO of the CD (UltraISo will do this) and use imgmount in DOSBOX to mount it as an image. This usually solves the tougher games

TY for the help.
🤣 I cant run the game i install the game fine but when i type in
Z:\> C:
C:\> cd dagger
C:\DAGGER> DAGGER.exe
it comes up with
TES: Daggerfall v1.0 - 09/06/96 13:00:00
Copyright 1994,96 Bethesda Softworks

ERROR: Looks like you inserted the wrong CD. Please insert your Daggerfall CD in your cdrom and try again

(press a key)

🤣 i dont know what to do 😅 it just wont work 😖

Did you use -ioctl parameter when mounting the CD drive? It might help you. Also you can provide a label name with the -label <label> parameter.

tried it still no go 😅 ><,
^^ sry being a noob
i tried -ioctl and -label no go ><, DANM YOU CURSED EVIL.... thingy
... sry ne way still wont work.
Thanks ne way el_pusher

You need to provide label name after label parameter. To find out what a volume label is just right-click on a drive from My PC > properties or open a cmd.exe window (or use execute) and issue a VOL X: command, where X: is the drive...

E.G.

vol f:

volume F: label is DAGGERFALL

When mounting CD drive in DOSBox...

mount f f:\ -t cdrom -ioctl -label DAGGERFALL

(Drive F mounted as cd-rom)

😀 ok i found the label (Daggerfall) and typed in
mount D D:\ -t cdrom -ioctl -label Daggerfall

it still didnt work 😖
might try a dif cd see if its just the cd btw ty for the help.

Please correct me if I'm wrong Kharn.

But as I've understood your description, you've installed Daggerfrall from within Windows and then mounted the cd in dosbox and tried to start it?

Have you tried to mount the cd in dosbox and do the install from within dosbox?

This is what i did
opened dosbox
mount C "C:\DOS Games\"
mount D D:\ -t cdrom -ioctl -label Daggerfall
Z:\> D:
D:\>dir
*shows all the files*
*look for install*
D:\>install
*installs the game, it wont let me install over 105 megs so i have to install the medium installation*
*games finishes installing*
D:\> C:
C:\>cd DAGGER
C:\DAGGER>DAGGER.exe
*Then is comes up with the no cd message*

If you mount the C drive with the freesize option, you can choose the full install. See the README for details on that.

ty moe ^^ been trying to figure out how to change my drive size ty ^^ 🤣 im reinstalling with full install hopefully it'll work now ^^

nope still not working....figures
lol emulations must really hate me.
ne way i must be doing something wrong i'll type in wat i do.
Z:\> mount C "C:\DOS Games"
Z:\> mount D "D:\" -t cdrom -ioctl -label Daggerfall
Z:\> D:
D:\>install
*install game*
D:\> C:
C:\>cd dagger
C:\DAGGER>dagger
and it brings up a message about no cd.
If ne 1 has ne idea how to get it to work plz tell me. ive tried imgmount and normally mounting it ive tried the readme it doesnt help -.- dunno what to do plz help ty.

Search the forum for the word "Daggerfall" and read the posts as this has been gone over before. IIRC, you have to specify the configuration fall at the command line "dagger z.cfg" or somesuch. I'll have to look at my list again to make sure.

Type "FALL.EXE Z.CFG" instead of "DAGGER.EXE" to start the game.

Also, be sure to install the latest patch and run FIXMAPS (or whatever it's called - it comes with the patch). The game is very, very buggy.

TY Very very much ^^ it works now ty for the help really appreciate it ^^

Alright, I tried running the program "FALL.EXE Z.CFG" And DOSBox closed. Did I do something wrong?
