SUCCESS!! [ rant mode ] I love the GNU tool chain, and I really love using GNU/Linux, but I swear sometimes it can be exasperating. As I thought in my previous post, I was simply doing it wrong. The trick was that I was letting cdrdao create the default image data.bin and then renaming SSTEEL.bin it …

I have to admit, I'm starting to get discouraged. I burned the image from disk, but I still get the message asking to insert the disk. There is one thing though - cdrdao has a ton of options, so possibly I didn't do it correctly. I'm going to wait until the weekend when I have more time, then I'm …

Status: I tried using the Alcohol 120% trial in an XP VM, and it crashes instantly. I bet it needs to talk directly to the hardware. I tried enabling and disabling "Passthrough", but it didn't help. Just to be sure: you are mounting some other directory as drive C along with the CD-ROM as drive D, …

One other possibility to consider is that the deprecation of the use of /media for removable media in Linux distros (generally) is causing you grief... I'm thinking that's not my problem, but thanks. I typed "mount" with no arguments after popping in the CDROM and got this response: /dev/sr0 on / …

I'll have to do some Googling to see how to get a proper bin/cue image in Linux. Otherwise I'll have to wait until tomorrow when I can try this in a virtual machine running XP. I don't have Windows at home*. I'll tinker some more with the mountings before that time, and if I get it to work, I'll …

This is a CDROM that I ordered clear back in 1996 when the game was brand new. I don't have the receipt any more after nearly 20 years, but I can take a photo of the original CDROM and post it if you want. Otherwise I don't know how to prove that I'm not just blowing smoke. But I genuinely …

> The first thing we need to know is are you using a legal copy of the game or did you download it from an abandonware site or torrent? Only support for legally obtained copies of games is provided here. This is a CDROM that I ordered clear back in 1996 when the game was brand new. I don't have the …

> use same mountings for c and d when you install and play Okay. To expand that - do you mean that I should try re-installing with all the different options I list above? Because I tried the initial play immediately after install and it didn't work, so that's why I tried everything else. I'm willing …

Greetings: I'm trying to get an old copy of Shattered Steel to work. The program installs just fine, and all the post install tests and stuff (like setting up the sound card) works. However, when I try to actually play, I get the message in the title. I see that Shattered Steel is supported from the …
