Ok so i am trying to run T7G on my Mac with DosBox. It is possible to install the game. When i installed the game it is starting itself automatic. When it is started it is asking me to switch to disc 1 (play disc). But how do i switch from disk. I cant type any commands in that window. Because i didnt know how to mount a disc in a program window i closed DosBox. I started DosBox again. Mounted cdrom 1 and started T7G. However it says something about a problem with the soundcard driver. And it doesnt start T7G. I am using this code to mount disc 2 (install disc):
mount d /Volumes/THE_7Guest_2 -t cdrom.

I don't have a Mac, "only" a Windows PC, so I am not entirely sure how to do it on a Mac.

On a Windows PC, I would press the Eject-button on my CD, remove the 1st CD, insert disc 2, and press CTRL-F4 so DOSBox would know that a new disc has been insert.

I am not sure if you can eject a CD like that on a Mac, and I am not sure if CTRL-F4 works, or if you have to press SHIFT-CTRL-F4 or some other strange combination.

If you can not eject the CD, you will have to take extra steps: Create disc images of both CD's (preferable in this magic BIN/CUE format that preserves all the information). Then, instead of the normal mount command, you use imgmount:

imgmount D /path/to/THE_7Guest_1.cue /path/to/THE_7Guest_2.cue -t iso

(adjust the path to where you have saved the BIN/CUE images).

Now all you have to do is to press CTRL-F4 (or whatever on a Mac) and DOSBox will jump from disc1 to disc2, back to disc1, to disc2, etc... every time you press CTRL-F4.
