Sup all, I recently rebooted an old FMV game that's near & dear to my heart called The Dame Was Loaded. Got up to the end of disc 1 and was given the prompt to "please insert disc 2"

I've set Dosbox to run off the CD-Rom drive, assigning d: to /Volumes/DAME_CD1 -t cdrom -label DAME_CD1

Once I get to the end of the CD, I'm stuck. The eject key won't work, since the program is in use, and even if I could insert disc 2, the directory name is changed to "DAME_CD2", so the program would probably crash due to the name change.

I tried dragging and dropping the files off the CDs into separate folders, but couldn't seem to get the game to boot without using a disc. Maybe I'm leaving something out.

What are the normal methods you guys use for games with multiple discs? Anyone have any advice? Would be much appreciated. =)

Mount the cd-image in virtual cd, like Daemon Tools or Alcohol 52%.
Use "mount d: x:\ -t cdrom" in DosBox, where x is the virtual cd letter.
After "insert cd2" - switch to desktop and mount the second cd image in virtual cd.

DOS and DOSBox have different sections in the forum.

When working with disc images they can be mounted together.
IMGMOUNT D "C:\DOS\<disc-1.iso>" "C:\DOS\<disc-2.iso>" -t cdrom
You would then switch between them by pressing Ctrl+F4.

With the actual discs you just need to mount the optical drive.
MOUNT D D:\ -t cdrom
You would still need to press Ctrl+F4 to recognize the new disc after swapping.
Same goes for using disc images in DAEMON Tools.
