Maybe they have drive letter issue? real drive letter is queried first

I use power iso so maybe that's the issue and the CD drive letter it's looking for is f

If you have both drive and power iso drive at the same time, one thing you could do is swap the drive letters, so that the power iso one is the first

power iso was the problem cuz i installed daemon tools lite and mounted it and now it worked

also theres no music

You converted into an ISO. ISO can't contain music. Consider using bin/cue, mdd/mds, ccd/img, etc

i should have said that the files were bin/cue files, that is my fault i didn't know the terms

Mech2 has a limitation that it only reads CD audio from the first cd drive only. If you have multiple drives, real or virtual, that could be a problem if you are not on the first drive.

Considering that you correctly converted to bin/cue, and the music is playable in Windows Media Player, the only other choice I see is to rip the music to your local storage, let me know if the previous two ideas don't work

I've got the game (MW2 mercenaries Titanium trilogy) running almost perfect thanks to the MW2 installer. The only things that are missing is that the music does not play (even with the CD with audio tracks in the drive) and there appears to be a memory leak.

Basically the game's memory usage will continue to rise until it hits about 1.6 GB if you haven't put in a 4GB patch. Or it hits 3.6 GB if you have put in a 4GB patch. You'll know that the memory leak has completed when the HUD dies and multiple enemies disappear from the map.

You can rip the CD audio in ogg format, in the following names "track02.ogg", "track03.ogg"... "trackmn.ogg", starting with 02, and put the files in a "Music" folder beside the game folder. Subsequently, change the DxWnd configuration for the game in the "Cdaudio" tab from "Play from CD" to "Use audio files".

The memory leak is a real issue, if you are on Windows 10, you can try your luck enabling shim:EmulateHeap in the "Tweaks" tab of DxWnd or alternatively patch:HeapLeak or patch:SafeHeap.

If neither of it works, you can try the "MechVM" installation of the game, that will only use DxWnd to fix the initial mission crash and all other fixes will be from MechVM

Thanks so much for this info, I've always wanted to play through the titanium version of the game but the shortened music kinda ruined it for me, but with this knowledge I was able to take the Dos/WIn95 version of the game's music and swap it into Titanium.

One quick question, is there a fix for when missiles miss their target and slow way down? Its really noticable with the Arrow IV's but I've seen normal missiles doing it as well.
