Hi!

I've just bought DK from GOG and am tired from running it in a Dosbox on a VM on my iMac. I copied the game-directory from the VM to my user-folder and changed the autoexec-section in my preferences according to the file that gog submitted with the game:

[autoexec] keyb gr mount c "/Users/Bjoern/DOS/DK" imgmount d "/Users/Bjoern/DOS/DK/GAME.INST" -t iso -fs iso […]
Show full quote
[autoexec]
keyb gr
mount c "/Users/Bjoern/DOS/DK"
imgmount d "/Users/Bjoern/DOS/DK/GAME.INST" -t iso -fs iso

GAME.INST is the disc image containing the files the game needs for the copy-protection. When running Dosbox I get:

Could not load image file: /Users/Bjoern/DOS/DK/GAME.INST
MSCDEX: Failure: Invalid file or unable to open.

What did I do wrong?

Thanks,

Petr

check the contents of game.inst and see if the filename (and case) is correct.

This is the autoexec-section from the gog-file:

[autoexec] # Lines in this section will be run at startup. mount C . imgmount d "game.inst" -t iso -fs iso c: cls Keeper.exe exi […]

I can't mount the disc image on my Mac so I can't take a look "inside", but the same image is mounted successfully on the Windows Dosbox under Virtualbox. The cases are all correct.

(as GAME.INST is uppercase)

Thanks for your help, I finally managed to solve it: I just mounted the image.gog and now everything's working! 😀
