Hello

I'm french, so my english might not be good.

I want first to thank the dosbox's developers, because this emulator is very amazing.

I'm trying to run DISCWORLD-II on dosbox, but I prefer running on virtual cd to avoid damage to the real CDs.

My problem is that the game is divided in two CDs, and I'm not able to change the cd image during the game.
I tried to mount the first part on D: and the second on E:, but it doesn't work because the software recognize only one cd drive.

Is there any way to change the image during the game, or to have simultaneously the console and the game ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated 😁

Line 567-615 in the DOSBox Read-Me file explains how to use the IMGMOUNT command to mount 2 or more images:

IMGMOUNT D path-to-first-cd path-to-second-cd -t iso

After that, you can use CTRL-F4 to switch between the images.
