How are you mounting the image? Are you using another program to mount it to a virtual drive? Or are you using Dosbox to mount the image itself?

I am not using a frontend to mount the drive; I am just trying to mount the rloft file to the D drive as IMGMOUNT. Unfortunately, when I do so as an ISO, the files do not appear to be accessible, and it does not recognize the .img as its own directory right now. The iso itself, however, can be sort-of-mounted with IMGMOUNT D [INSERTDIRECT]\File.iso - t iso

This command is not useful, however, right now...

EDIT: I see now why the ISO file would not work - I did not convert the file, I just placed the file in an ISO wrapper - useless

Mounting the .img as disc would probably be a better solution since my .iso file is not really a .iso file.

The easiest way to do this would be to use a program like Magicdisk or dameontools lite or some other similar program to mount the image file as a virtual drive. Once that is done you just need to mount that drive i.e. mount d g:\

Alright, coolness, thanks! I used daemon tools lite. Magic disc is too much of an issue on Windows 7, it appears - or I just did not know how to use it right =)

I placed the IMG in a virtual drive, now it runs just fine, as I can mount it as a CD image.

That said, if it were not for the VERY EXTENSIVE and kind help, my nostalgia, my basic computer knowledge and the fact I have planned D&D and clones thereof for many years, I may not have been obsessed/willing enough to go forward. An ISO in the extras, along with instructions for setting up virtual drives or using virtual drive software is a must for the casual Abandonia user.

Thanks again to all. I will have to set up detailed thanks on this thread. For now, I must play the heroes... going off into the mist!!! Strahd awaits.

No. FAT filesystem does not have anything to do with CDs.

I got the .iso to work, but not the .img. Obviously, It will not mount it as .iso in .img format.

Less than intuitively, -t iso covers ISO, BIN and IMG formats. If mounting the image is not working, a screenshot of the error message would be appreciated. According to DOSBox wiki, it also supports loading the images using the CUE sheets - if there's a CUE file together with the IMG, try mounting that instead. As a rule of thumb, you don't normally need to use the -fs switch.

Is anyone experiencing a bug in Castle Ravenloft?
The door that exits back onto the road inside the castle refuses to open.

Lets play youtube videos shows that the door automatically opens, but ive done my best to do this with no success.

I just downloaded Strahd's Possession, and it went down fine. But, I am having problems loading the game - I tried running various files for the game, but I am getting error screens. Can anyone tell me which file to run to play? Any help is appreciated!

Are you using dosbox?

[Gavindale Marchovia]

Yes, I have DosBox installed on my computer.

But did you start the game inside DOSBox?
