Warcraft II comes with a CD Chock full of audio tracks to listen to. Is there a way to make them work in DOSBox? I'm using the D-Fend front-end, and it's got the CD working to the point where Warcraft II recognizes it so I can play the game, but trying to use the CD audio in-game yields no music at all. Any suggestions?

Also, what strange things does D-Fend do that changes the size of the display? When I run DOSBox and manually mount the CD drive, and play Warcraft II, the animations (i.e. Blizzard Logo) fill up the screen, as does the gameplay. When I use D-Fend, the animations are much smaller than the gameplay.

I *think* to make CD audio tracks work, you have to make an iso out of your CD and imgmount that iso instead of your CD.

mount the cd using a label... works in settlers2 when you do it like that.

heres an example:
mount g h:\ -t cdrom -usecd 1 -ioctl -label UNTITLED_CD

for the graphics probs in d-fend try a diff rendering mode then surface... say like ddraw?
