hmm.. maybe the disc has protection? don't know

I don't think the cd has copy protection.

Because...
1. I copied all the contents of the rayman cd to C:\RAYCD
2. Mounted c:\raycd to E as a cdrom (like fakecd)
3. I went to C:\RAYMAN then tried rayman
4. It worked. (no music because there are no cd tracks)

As Chaofish said, there's no problem when using an external utility like daemon.

Have you tried just making a .ISO instead of a .BIN and imgmounting that?

does the game work with the offical CDROM without the -label switch ?

Can .ISO have music tracks that official rayman CD include?
Music plays an important role when playing Rayman 1.
I tested with img/ccd, too. The problem is the same.

The game works with the official cdrom.
It does not need -label switch but -ioctl.

ISOs do not have cd audio tracks, only cue/bin images have cd audio tracks.

At least my version of rayman (german, from gold games compilation) does not work under linux, where ioctl is always enabled. The cue/bin image does not work as well.
Are there different versions with and without copy protection?

Situations where the original cdrom works and cd image does not are usually easy to fix.

iso mdf bin and cue should i think be able to store the whole entire contents of a cd... including music... because it is afterall a complete copy of the disc.

Audio CD(tracks) does not use the ISO9660 format, so iso can't store music(cd audio).

Yeah, I just wanted to see if the game would actually load with .ISO using IMGMount.

Converted to iso. It also still doesn't work at all.

heh. wow. A game that doesn't work with imgmount but does with mount. Now there's a big reversal. 😀

now works but no music. 😀

Hi.
I have a question playing Rayman 1 with Dosbox 0.65 in Windows XP.

***********My Background ***********************
Pasting the line below to Notpad then save it as RayStrat.bat in the folder where Dosbox 0.65 installed;

dosbox c:\Rayman1\RAYMAN.BAT -exit -fullscreen -c "MOUNT C C:\" -c "MOUNT D Q:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0 -ioctl"

NOTE: c:\Rayman1 is the folder where Rayman 1 is installed.
RAYMAN.BAT is copyed to C:\Rayman1 from c:RAYMAN.BAT
Real CD drive letter is Q:.

,now I doubleclicked RayStart.bat beeing able to play Rayman1 with sound and game music in Windows XP as AUTODETECT for SOUND has been run during the installation of the game.
*******************************************

My question is,

1 How I can point ONLY the original file "RAYMAN.BAT" in C: root using DosBox v0.65 ? For now "Rayman.bat" must be in BOTH directory in C:\ and C:\Rayman1\

2 DosBox v0.65 does'nt like -c "MOUNT C C:\" warning "NOT RECOMMENDED", but this is need Hi.
I have a question playing Rayman 1 with Dosbox 0.65 in Windows XP.

Please do NOT doublepost again. This is quite annoying.

Start up dosbox, then mount some (existing) directory as c: like
mount c c:\oldgames, your cdrom as well (mount d q:\ -t cdrom -ioctl),
then install rayman.
If the installation went fine, check if the game works. THEN you can
bother about directly executing it through a batch file or whatever.

Sorry for the rule.

Ok, as your suggestion installing the game in Dosbox did not solve my problem, I now changed my mind editing RAYMAN.BAT file ;
@echo off
C:
REM cd C:\RAYMAN1
REM RAYMAN.EXE save=C:\RAYMAN1
RAYMAN.EXE save=C:
Bold letters mean "edited". RAYMAN.BAT is moved to C:\RAYMAN1 where the game is installed.
Now launching DosBox with RayStart.bat ;
dosbox c:\Rayman1\Rayman.bat -exit -fullscreen -c "MOUNT D F:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0 -ioctl"
, I got no problem nor warning form DosBox.
My question is now cleared.

Thanks for your reply.

Next quesion is about sending CNTROL+F12.
How can I send the key input with the DOS command line in DosBox ?
Rayman 1 need sending CONTROL+F12 thirteen times for playing with comfortable speed, I am getting tired for typing key every time I start the game.

I need the solution sending key input automatically in DosBox when the game starts.

add a -c "cycles 9000" somewhere

>add a -c "cycles 9000" somewhere

Well, very expressive advice 'somewhere'.
Why not say " Edit Dosbox.conf file changing the line 'cycles=3000' to 'cycles=12000' in [CPU] section ?, this is more clear to everyone reading this forum, right ?

Anyway, editing dosbox.conf improved the CPU:CYCLE3000 to CPU:CYCLE12000 at the start condition.

Thanks for the useful advice but not clear to everyone.
