Hello,
I recently discovered DOSBox, which seems to work perfectly under windows.
But when I'm playing to Rayman ( Reedition called "Rayman For Ever" ), I have sound, but no music.

Here is the command-line i used : dosbox . -c "MOUNT D /media/cdrom -t cdrom -ioctl"
So, I append "-usecd 0" and "-label RAYFAN", but now, when I start the game ( launching RAYMAN.BAT ), it ejects the CD-Rom and a few seconds after : "CD ROM's Initialization.
CD ROM Drive found on D:"
and when I put the CD, it is ejected again.

Very odd. Is the music on the cd (audio tracks) or some midi?
Maybe try copying the cd content into a directory and mount that
with parameter -t cdrom

The music is on the CD, as audio tracks. So, a ISO won't include the musics...
But the thing is it works under windows XP with an installer that install DOSBox, a configuration file, and some useless things.
Here is the mount command in the windows XP config file :
MOUNT D D:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0 -ioctl

Wait a sec. -ioctl should never work on linux as far as I remember.

as a "last" resort you can try to make a cue/bin pair of it.
DOSBox can handle those as well. You can convert the audiotracks to some compressed format as well. (to save space)

With imgmount, it seems work ( the game start correctly ). But I have an horrible noise instead of the music. It is probably caused by the toc2cue converter I used.
Is there any software to create a bin/cue image on linux ?

I think cdrecord or so can do it given the right options. (Don't know them (anymore) though)

Rayman has a lot of sound card configs to choose from, try a few (SB16, SB Pro, Adlibe, ...) until it works fne without noise. Unless only the CD music works bad, in that case ignore what I said...

I used a windows software to create the cue/bin files. It works fine, thanks 😀
