Hi everyone,

I've been playing Harvester in DOSBOX 0.73 and i get to a part where it asks me to insert disk 2.
I have the second disk .ISO file, and there are 3 discs total for this game, which i've got in .ISO file format. Named CD1.iso, CD2.iso, and CD3.iso.

But i dont know how to get disk 2 .ISO working...

Heres my setup and what i've done for DOSBOX and this game...

Extracted Harvester CD1.iso to a folder called HVT on hard drive E - which i've mounted as CDROM drive in DOSBOX.

From there i've ran the install for the game in DOSBOX, and installed the game to C:\Oldgames\Harvest - the Oldgames folder is mounted in DOSBOX as my local directory.

The game also uses files from the HVT folder on drive E (mounted as CDROM) when playing.

But when the game asks for second disk, if i extract CD2.iso to the HVT folder it still does not work.

So what exactly do i need to do?

I've tried reading the wiki on DOSBOX for help, but dont really get what i need to do. So would really appreciate it if someone wrote exactly what i need to type in DOSBOX to get this all working - going from how i've got things setup, explained above.

Thanks for any help!

Check the readme for IMGMOUNT and its parameters.

Try burning the ISOs to some CDs.

I've read it and still dont understand. And i'd rather not have to burn the ISO's to CD's either, unless it's the only way....

What i need is an example of what to type..

There are examples in the readme. Just instead of one iso file, specify all the files sequentially.
How to swap the CDs is in the readme as well.

No need for that. IMGMOUNT will easily do what he needs, and without the slowness and inconvenience of physical discs.

So how do i mount these iso files?

Lets say i put the three iso's in C:\oldgames .... what would i type to mount them in succession? then play? The readme isn't really helping before anyone says that again, i need a better example.

I can mount a single iso by doing... imgmount d c:\CD1.iso -t iso

Which mounts it ok. But then the game wont start doing this...

imgmount d iso1 iso2 iso3 -t iso

wasn't that hard to come up with I hope
