Hi there...
I no longer have a 3.5 floppy drive, so I got a mate of mine to use winimage to make of some of my old games for backup.
The problem is that I can not seam to mount them in DosBox, I thought DosBox supported this image format?
I am using this command (for example)
imgmount a c:\games\dosbox\drives\floppys\thexder.ima -t floppy
but DosBox responds as ... "can't create drive from file"
if I remove the "-t cdrom" it says "could not load image file <newline> check that the path is correct and the image is accessible"
Any ideas? I tested the *.ima files with "virtual floppy drive 2.1" and they load fine. While the majority of them I can load in the VFD and then use mount a y:\ -t floppy (when y: is mounted in VFD) some of my games have volume and size checks as part of copy protection and will not work that way, nor if i just copy all the files into a dir and mount like that....
mount a c:\games\dosbox\drives\floppys\thexder -t floppy
Any help would be appreciated... . .
