Hi

When I do the following:

imgmount D "C:\RedneckRampageFamilyReunion01.cue" -t iso -fs iso

I get error: Image file not found.

The cue and bin exist in my mounted C drive!

What am I doing wrong?

A mounted drive only has short filenames.

I thought you needed to provide host pathnames, not mounted guest pathnames to IMGMOUNT. But maybe it works with both now?

Is it the same as ms-dos, so 8 characters maximum?

Yes, the same filename shown when you use the DIR command inside DOSBox.
(Or just type the first few letters of the filename and press tab to autocomplete it.)

Look inside the cue file (open it with a text editor) it might have a path to the bin in it. And yes, if the cue is in the folder you mounted as c:/ you need to shorten its name, and probably the name of the bin in real and in the cue file to 8 characters.

Any issues with case sensitivity?

Disk images does not need to be in mounted drives.
This command implies the .cue & .bin files are located in your host C: directory.
Please try again, with replacing the "C:/...01.cue" part with the real path seen on your computer,
w/o mounting its folder within DOSBox.

Are there any special reasons to imgmount from a mounted drive instead of host directory?

Generally I find it's easier to keep the .iso+.cue in the same dir as the rest of the game's files and use a batch file to mount+run (and do anything else like set core/cycles) in one step.
Especially if it's on a network drive that might be mounted in different locations depending on which machine I'm using.
