oh i forgot. I use Fedora Core 1, but the problem should also happens with Windows 2000 and XP.
of course dosbox 0.60

did you try giving it the apriate cd label ( is a mount option)

It doesn't have to fail under win2k as they have another cd-rom emulation option (-ioctl) that one is missing in linux.

yes i try. nothing change 🙁
but on Win it fails too, because the reason for my try : somebody posts that he couldn't start the game with Windows XP.

Unsupported IOCTL OUTPUT Subfunction 02 is a cd drive reset. nothing critical and it doesnt cause the error.
Problem with DSA2 is that it tries to read the vtoc which is only working if the -ioctl or -aspi option is used. That means it only works on windows system atm.

hmmm. Don't understand why ioctl don't work with Linux. But found a intressting vtoc documentation for SCO Unix:
http://uw713doc.sco.com/en/man/html.7/vtoc.7.html

hehe, it would work. it's just not implemented atm 😀

oh good 😀 ... so it's on my wishlist 😁

I have to say thank you ! In the new Version (0.61)...
Sternenschweif works with Linux too !

like Finster say, just add -aspi and it run 😁

ok crashs if i choose a soundcard, but maybe i choose the wrong card 😉

Hehe 😀 Linux has automaticly integrated -ioctl support 😉
No need for -aspi under linux 😀

yeah thats true...

but i found out. If i choose "play music from CD" dosbox crash.

Yeah... it works with 0.61.

But after the game starts, the screen keeps black and only the game-cursor is on.

Hi,

I use this command to mount my CD-Rom it works fine with Realms of Arcania 2 (I use the German 2 CD Version)
mount d y:\ -t cdrom -ioctl
y is my DVD-Rom in Windows XP SP2
I Use Dosbox 0.61

But it works only for the first CD somwere in the Game i have to insert CD 2 but the Game do not accept it ;(

it looks like dosbox don't notice the CD Change. Is it possible to change this ?

Cathal

yes, Ctrl-F4 in DOSBox 0.63

Okay, I just tried to Start Sternenschweif with Dosbox 0.70 and I get this error message:

"Das in PATH.CFG angegeben Laufwerk ist kein CD-ROM -Laufwerk"

roughly translated it tells me that the drive, saved in the file PATH.CFG, is no CD-drive.... I checked thouhh and the file points to the correct CD-drive..Everything's properly installed I got this message right when I entered the last command to run the game

Please tell us your mount commands.

I went according to this site

http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php? … ation+of+DosBox

mount D D:\Games
D:
cd Schweif
Schweif.exe

d being the partition of my harddrive where the whole thing is installed on, Games the folder where the game is and Schweif obviously being the game directory as well as the name of the exe-file

first time I'm trying to use Dosbox btw

Please install the game within dosbox, that is:
create some empty directory on your harddisk (say c:\oldgames\cdrive)
set up the mounting of dosbox like
mount c c:\oldgames\cdrive
mount d f:\ -t cdrom
(assuming f is your real cdrom drive)
then (still in dosbox) type d: and then "install" or "setup"
to install the game

mount D D:\Games D: cd Schweif Schweif.exe […]
Show full quote

mount D D:\Games
D:
cd Schweif
Schweif.exe

Just to recap a bit what wd said. From your mountings I assume you did NOT install the game from within Dosbox but some other way. You did not mount your CD-Rom so it is not found by the game.
