In this thread somewhere and I'm also pretty sure there's a file in the archive that tells you what to do as well!

I donīt know ANYTHING about this, and I donīt understand what to do, so please help me. What does this mean???

When you have written:

Mount e -t cdrom e:\
(It is e:\ for me)

Then you use the normal procedure...
Mount c c:\
cd heroes

heroes.exe

When you start dosbox you normally use "mount c c:\" to get to your c drive, yes?

ok. we need the same procedure to make the cdrom accessible so use:

mount e -t cdrom e:\

then continue as normal.

this means that dosbox is able to find your cdrom drive and as long as it contains a cd - it doesn't matter what - the game should then run!

edit: put simply, mounting is the process where dosbox assigns letters to your drives.

well i press the keys with - and : on. I have a standard UK english keyboard layout. Others maybe different. DosBox is actually set up to work with a US layout but I've never had any trouble with those keys!
