I downloaded this awesome game, PLEASE hellp me =>


When I try to run it, "unable to access cd" is all I get . I know that there were some ways to solve this problem back in the old DOS, but this dosbox doesnt have them!
I guess ill be needing some sort of cd-cloner...... ??

but you must have a CD in the drive (it doesn't matter what it is!) for it to work.

I know. But if i do that with an empty cd drive it still won't run.

maybe it's just me....

I tried with mount C: D -t cdrom..... as shown in the "manual" for DosBox, and it blocked my winXp, so I had to push the little-all-mighty magic button called 'reset'.....
Any more ideas???

pleeeaseeeeeeeee?
:-((

Ok... let's explain this ONE MORE TIME! (getting tired of it)

IF you MOUNT a CD in DOSBOX, it has NOTHING AT ALL with your physical computer OR WinXP/NT/2K/9x/3.11/DOS/Linux/Unix/MacOS/SUN/OS2/whatever..

DosBox is a VIRTUAL (none real) EMULATION (not real either) WITHOU any links at all what so ever to your REAL computer.

You can mount a CD-disc in DosBox without actualy owning a CD/DVD/Floppy-dive in real life.

All you have to do, is to Specify WHAT it shall mount.

So... is your Heroes-folder located at C:\games\Heroes1\
Write:
Code:

mount d c:\games\Heroes1\ -t cdrom
And the D:\-drive becomes the c:\games\Heroes1\-folder and the game will accept it as a CD-disc.

IF this for some reason doesn't work, Consult the FAQ, or go to DosBox's site and visit theire Forum/FaQ/send them a mail.

I really was having a problem where Dosbox wouldn't run the game without a CD in the drive - but I can see why now! I've always mounted d:\ as my cdrom.

Sorry for causing confusion.
