You may have to rereip the CD as a bin/cue image. It might be that it has audio tracks but the iso format only images the data track. Alcohol 120% percent does a good job for that and you don't need to buy it for that.

Do a full install and copy the SMK folder from the CD to the installed folder. Mount you drives in the [autoexec] of the conf with:

1[autoexec]
2cls
3@ECHO OFF
4mount c .
5mount d . -t cdrom -ioctl -label FPSFB_96
6c:
7cd \
8call HIKE.BAT
9exit

Thanks for getting back to me. I downloaded alcohol 120% but don't see an option for making a bin/cue image. I can make a .mdf file. Will that be the same thing? It has two other options as well but don't remember them as it's currently creating the .mdf

Okay, first off, your avatar. Is that LSL, Roger Wilco, and King Graham??? If so, #1 huge props from me!!! #2 Who is the other one? Police Quest? I had totally forgot about Police Quest. Literally hadn't thought of that in probably 15 years.

Secondly, what you are saying sounds like what I need to do. I'm not sure I follow it, though, as I'm definitely a noob. Could you dumb it down a bit? I understand copying the SMK to the install folder (does it matter where?). I don't understand the second part though.

It is Larry, Sonny Bonds, Roger Wilco and Sir/King Graham.

Give me some time and I'll do a new installer for the game. I guess that if you have no CD drive you should be able to mount your image with Daemon Tools to run the installer or install the game on a PC that has a drive and transfer the installed folder to your laptop.

That would be awesome!!

I got it all installed, but it still requires the cd to be in the drive before it plays. Presumably this was for copyright protection? I created an .iso image of the disc and mounted it as a drive using windows 8 (now 10 since I just upgraded), but it still isn't seeing the cd when I try to actually run the game.

Okay, I'm mounting the e drive to d:\ but when I try to change to the d: drive it says the directory doesn't exist. It went like this...

C:\> d:
Drive d: does not exist!
You must mount it first

C:\> mount e d:\
Drive E already mounted with local directory d:\

C:\> d:
Drive d: does not exist!
You must mount it first

You got those commands backwards:
The first letter is the drive it should be in Dosbox, the second letter or path is the real drive or path you want to use for the drive in Dosbox.

So,
mount e d:\
makes your real drive D appear as the "virtual" drive E in Dosbox.

I guess you wanted
mount d e:\

I'll look into the Alcohol image making. Mdf is definitely the wrong format.

Oh, I need to use the -t cdrom -label fpbro96 for it to work.

Collector, is there a way to make it so that it automatically types all that in (all the mounting) or do I just have to do that every time. It looked like your post above was indicating a way to make it auto execute.

Oh, I just saw your link collector that is awesome! You are my hero. 😀
