Is there a good way to set up a game that runs off multiple CDs?
I am wanting to play "The Beast Within: A gabrial Knight Story" and it has 6 CDs.
Normally I just copy all the files into my D folder whch I mount as the CD ROM drive and things are smooth. But how would I go about doing this for multiple CDs? Can't just copy all the CDs to that folder because they use some similure named files. Does DOSBox have a way to get this to work?

Mount in DOSBox or something external like MagicDisc or Alcohol 120%?

It's prefered to use DOSBox imgmount instead of drive mounting programs.

CTRL+F4 swaps images and refreshes the drive cache. Info is in the super secret magical README included with DOSBox.
