Hi there!

I found a problem with repeating CD tracks of some game. For instance Lemmings 3D does not repeat its sound track, and some other games as well.

I'm using the CVS version of 2008-12-13 from http://builds.tharos-online.de/ on Microsoft Windows Vista (Business).

I mount the CD with the following command:
mount d f:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0 -ioctl

That game does repeats it track on a real legacy Pentium III machine of my with a Philips PCDV5016L2 F5S4 DVD-ROM drive when running in pure MS-DOS. The driver and MSCDEX I'm using is the one included with the Windows 98SE start-up disk. (OAK driver)

I guess DOSBox doesn't emulate some instruction of MSCDEX or to the hardware

Vista and the DOSBox CDROM mounting does not play well together. Better make a CUE/BIN image of the CD and mount that.

Okay! Will try that. Just a moment...

EDIT:
Now it's working all nice and wel! Thanks for the hint! 😀
I made that image with IsoBuster and mount it with:
imgmount d: FILE.cue -fs iso

It also works in the stable 0.72 release when using BIN/CUE files.

BTW any idea how I make a image of that CD in BIN/CUE format with jitter correction? Because that CD is almost 12 years old and the BIN I made with IsoBuster is full with "jitter" (pops and cracks)....

EDIT: Got my answer for juri. Just use alcohol 52% to make the image!

Please try the standard cdrom mounting (mount d e:\ -t cdrom if e:\ is
your cdrom drive) if that works in 0.72 and is broken in the cvs.

Tried with the following mount:
mount d f:\ -t cdrom
With following game:
Lemmings 3D (Dutch release / UK data)

Stable 0.72:
No audio track hearable, but DVD player spins down

CVS of 2008-12-15 from http://builds.tharos-online.de/:
Audio tracks plays and is hearable, but do not repeat
