I don't mind using walkthroughs in games now if it involves finding sidequests and other things I might miss. I don't have the time or patience to wander around in games spending a day on something that should take an hour. The only time I feel guilty about it is with adventure games since that's the entire point of them. I almost always solved games on my own back in the day though. Blame gamefaqs.

I just loooove how companies are putting up sale their old freeware games. First Red Baron, now this. And yet, people write stuff like "This is why I love GOG".

Default return of the infamous cd-music issue

Hi, I'm new to these forums, so pardon me if I break any etiquette.

I'm a long-time BaK fan, and I just recently got DosBox and DGBL for the sole purpose of running BaK, and so far the game is running well (even though I had to do a lot of work with it on my laptop since the patches and bakhack( if only for bugs) are only available in 32bit). Still, I feel that I'm missing out on the best experience because the lack of proper music. I have the CD image and all, the audio runs fine when used as audio disk, but the 'cd music' option is never possible. I've tried mounting the image/virtual-cd countless times now, but it never works.

After doing quite a lot of google searches and looking through various internet forums, it seems that no one has figured out how to do this on Vista/XP. One possible solution to my problem would be re-installing Windows XP, but switching OS for a 17 year old game is simply not going to happen. Does anyone know how to get the game/dgbl to recognise the CD on Windows 7?

1. Image format?
2. How are you mounting it?

Thank you so much for the swift reply, I really appreciate it!
I don't have all the details in my head right now. Suffice to say, I've tried the methods that are supposed to work, but they don't seem to work in Windows 7.

I've used the DGBL "mount" settings to mount a .cue file, and I've tried mounting it as a virtual disk (through daemon tools). The disk seems to be fine, I even managed to mount it and attempt an install in dosbox, just to see if it worked( I run the game itself with patched freeware files in the dosroot folder). The disk seems to be working, but somehow BaK can't detect it. It's really frustrating. I'm no computer wizard, so I thought I might find one here.

1. What letter is the virtual drive set to use?
2. Have you tried running IMGMOUNT manually from DOSBox? Sometimes frontends cause some things to not work correctly.
