I have a game that is a DOS/ Win 3.x hybrid. It claims to have an encyclopedia of Desert Storm as well as a strategy game. Unfortunately, in dosbox, the strategy game loops a short movie file and then dumps back to the prompt.

Looking into it a bit further I discovered that the game is primarily driven via batch files, several of which use commands unsupported in dosbox. So it seems my best bet is to try to run the game in DOS 6.22 within DOSBox.

So I created my image, installed DOS to it, installed Win 3.11 to it, and got it bootable... and then I hit a wall.

To access the game from real dos means I have to mount an external image file or insert the files from the cd into the hard drive image and hope it will run from a folder. As this CD has audio, I can not just copy the files off and stick them into the image. So that means I have to mount the cd, and I seem to be having a really hard time with that. One method described to me includes mounting the image with SHSUCDHD.EXE and then using MSCDEX to enable to drive. However SHSUCDHD.EXE appears to only work with ISO images, not BIN/CUE - which means I can't use it in this case due to the audio tracks. The other method describes loading on image with the DAUM build, then loading OAKCDROM.SYS in the config sys and mscdex in the autoexec bat. The cd image appears to load in the conf file, then DOS boots, and when OAKCDROM.SYS loads it says no drives found (with the DAUM build).

So I'm not sure how I screwed it up, but I did.

Does anyone have any resources they can point me towards in regards to mounting CD images for use within MS DOS 6.22 and/or Win 3.11 running in DOS 6.22?

Thanks.
