trouble with troubleshooting

[deepthought]

To avoid opening topics surely discussed a thousend times I tried the thread "Look here first". As expected I found a link for "what to do with .iso, .bin etc. files" but it opened just another tab with abandonias forum main page. Search-machine also failed, so I do not know what to do now.:dunno:

Thanks for helping.

Okay, I found the thread in troubleshooting-archive but it does not help anyway.

I mounted a virtual cd-rom drive with virtual clonedrive but neither dos-box nor dos-window under xp recognize this drive properly. It means I can not install from "cd-rom" drive what is necessary to play. (B.A.R.I.S in that case)

[_r.u.s.s.]

do you know how to mount non cd rom drive in dosbox? if you do then the image mounting command is

imgmount [drive] [real drive] -t [type]

for example

imgmount d:\ e:\ -t iso

do you know how to mount non cd rom drive in dosbox? if you do then the image mounting command is

imgmount [drive] [real drive] -t [type]

for example

imgmount d:\ e:\ -t iso

Oh, I see- I need some lessons in dos-box using, urgently.:doh:
But in that special case it does not help, because "Type bin is unsupported".:dunno:

It is possible to mount CD-ROM images (ISOs or CUE/BIN) as well, if you need CD swapping capabilities specify all images in succession (see the next entry).
CUE/BIN pairs are the preferred CD-ROM image type as they can store audio tracks compared to ISOs (which are data-only). For the CUE/BIN mounting always specify the CUE sheet.

If you have no CUE, just rename the BIN to an ISO. If it doesn't work then, let us know. :)

Yes, the "Look here first" thread stopped working with the new board links. I am supposed to look into it... Someday... :unsure:

For the time being, do not hesitate to open a new thread for every single problem that you have. We will link to the right page if need be. :)

BARIS should have a .cue file, because it has audio tracks. If it doesn't, you could try using the one I attached to the post, but first you have to edit the first line, so that the .bin file referenced in there is the same as yours.

Okay, thank you guys- finally it works. I did not know that it is necessary to mount the real drive first before imgmounting the virtual drive at the same place... :confused:

But it wont be the last lesson... LOL

But it isn't neccesary... :confused:

What now? :omg:

Uh, my dos-box told me always "imgfile must be on a local host or drive" or s.l.t.
So I mounted the path and afterwards I imgmounted- I show you an example:

mount d d:\path\baris
imgmount f d:\baris_cd.cue -t iso
d:
buzz

(cd image is in the same folder as buzz.bat)

Maybe its more complicated but I was happy it worked.:banana:

[The Fifth Horseman]

:noworry: I'm pretty sure that
imgmount f d:\path\baris\baris_cd.cue -t iso
would work fine all by itself. If it doesn't then you're doing something wrong.

[_r.u.s.s.]

So I mounted the path and afterwards I imgmounted- I show you an example:

mount d d:\path\baris
imgmount f d:\baris_cd.cue -t iso
that'd only mean that your baris_cd.cue is located on d:\ drive because when mounting dosbox always relates to the real(non dosbox) drive in second parameter

Plus if you already have a buzz.bat means that you have installed it. But what Fifth said is correct, I tried it last night just for fun. You just have to imgmount it and mount a c drive so you have a place to install baris to. On a sidenote, it seems if you mount it to any other drive then D, the installation fails.

You'll find some nice tutorials in Troubleshooting, under... Tutorials. :) And there's a lovely Dosbox introduction on the dosbox developers' website, www.vogons.com - a good place to start, as it's got a gui and everything.

Okay, maybe my english is that bad..... :(

"imgmount f d:\path\baris\baris_cd.cue -t iso" works of course, but I have to mount the drive with the buzz.bat too, because BARIS could not be played from the CD (image).

Meaning you have to type in dos-box:

imgmount f d:\path\baris\baris_cd.cue -t iso
mount d d:\path\baris
d:
buzz

... and there is no advantage to my first expression, isn´t it?
