I have a problem in ms dos 6.22 with music CDs containing audio CD tracks and games using the audio CD tracks as background music. When I configure virtual CD-ROM drives in the autoexec.bat I no longer have background music on games that use audio CD tracks and I can no longer play music CDs. If I remove the virtual CD-ROM drives from the autoexec.bat again, the games with audio CD tracks will have background music again and I will be able to play music CDs that contain audio CD tracks again. I play the Carmageddon and Tomb raider games with the original CDs in the CD-ROM drive. Is there a way to use virtual CD-ROM drives and play music CDs with audio CD tracks and games with audio CD tracks as background music in the real CD-ROM player?

SHSUCDHD and SHSUCDX I use this to make a vertical cdrom drives.

It will be much easier to help you if you try to pay a little more attention to your grammar and spelling.

It is generally impossible to play redbook audio from a virtual CD-ROM in DOS. You need to at least be running Windows 9x with Daemon Tools or a similar program in order to do that.

Someday there may be an affordable hardware solution that will solve this problem, but today is not that day.
Gotek like Optical Driver Emulator - Is it possible?
