I've never had a problem with DosBox before but LBA2 has defeated me 🙁.

Mounting and running the game works perfectly, except when moving from ingame to a video sequence. The game will close to dos commenting...

"You need the LBA2 CD, sorry!

"OK"

Wait, what? I was just playing the game a moment ago, surely you can't have lost the cd by now 🤣

After this happens, you cannot run the game until you've unmounted and remounted the disk, even though you can browse the cd in dosbox.

I've tried all the various mount options apart from a bin/cue as imgmount refuses to mount a cue without error'ing.

Any ideas?

Dosbox 0.72, vista 64.

1) How do your mount the CD? Maybe it needs an explicit -label LBA2 or something?

2) Something must be wrong with your BIN/CUE-image. How does your CUE file look like? And how did you make the image?

Thanks for replying.

1) LBA2 doesn't seem to need an explicit -label LBA2 flag, it works perfectly fine either way.

2) The cue/bin was made using isobuster:

FILE "lba2.bin" BINARY

REM ORIGINAL MEDIA-TYPE: CD

REM SESSION 01 ; Not supported by other applications (*)
TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00
REM MSF: 00:00:00 = LBA: 0
TRACK 02 AUDIO
INDEX 01 65:52:42a
REM MSF: 65:52:42 = LBA: 296442

REM (*) SESSION directives are unfortunately not properly supported
REM 'out there'. IsoBuster however supports them !

The data track doesn't seem to mount correctly in Daemon Tools, I can play the soundtrack but the data seems to be corrupted, how strange. I'll find another cue/bin maker as isobuster clearly can't cope with this disk.

FIXED!

Seems there is still work to be done on accessing the cd from vista.
Running the game from imgmount has fixed my problem 😁

I feel silly, I assumed isobuster would make a clean image, should of checked before posting 😵

Seems like there is still work for the microsoft people to support the
cdrom access interfaces instead of deprecating them.
