Hello!
I have a problem with Z.A.R. game.
The game needs a CD check to run, which can't be successful through DosBox!

Here's my [autoexec] part of DosBox configuration file.

mount c: F:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0 mount d: C:\Games\ZAR d: zar.exe […]
Show full quote

mount c: F:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0
mount d: C:\Games\ZAR
d:
zar.exe

Am I doing smth wrong, or is it a common problem?
Read several forums, found similar questions but no answers.
Hopefully, I'll get some answers here.

Reinstall the game inside DOSBox
Do not mount the game directory as C:\. If you do then the game will be in the root of C:\ when it should be in C:\whatever

Mount the games folder and not the zar folder and cd to that.

Also please use an image uploader that doesn't switch to porn sites.

Did successfully reinstall the game using DosBox from CD.
Changed configuration file:

mount d: F:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0 mount c: C:\Games c: cd zar zar.exe […]

mount d: F:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0
mount c: C:\Games
c:
cd zar
zar.exe

Still have the same problem.

Tested with my own "Z.A.R." cd. All is working perfectly.

DOSBox 0.74.

Z:>mount d j:\ -t cdrom
Z:>d:
D:>install.bat
C:\ZAR>go.bat

Later:
Z:>mount c e:\dosbox -freesize 500
Z:>mount d j:\ -t cdrom
Z:>c:
C:>cd zar
C:\ZAR>go
