DOSbox question

[rcorporon]

Hey,

Just curious if anybody here has had success in mounting .img files in DOSBox.

If so, could you show me the proper syntax?

Thanks!

This is my autoexec part of the DosBox.conf

----------------------------------------

[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
mount D F:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0 -ioctl
mount E H:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0 -ioctl
mount C D:\ -freesize 600
C:

-----------------------------------------------------------

Just change drive letter to suit your needs. H is my virtual drive. I played Mission Critical and few other full cd game with this setting. Hope this helps.

And more glorious detail about the imgmount function!

http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/IMGMOUNT

Includes instructions for mounting . . . an .img of a harddrive?

What I usually do is just convert a disk into a folder (using the 7zip utility) then have DOS-BOX treat said folder as a CD ROM.

//
// mount c c:\DOS
//
// d c:\DOS\cache\DukeNukem -t -cdrom
//

And just treat it like a normal DOS install from there.

Nice and simple. Just supplement where necessary.

Has anyone managed to run DOSbox in win7?

I'm in Ubuntu, so I'm not sure how to change a .img into a folder.

I'll keep plugging away at it.

Try to make config as I posted earlier and jut mount your image. I'm using it right now to play CD version of System Shock 1

7Zip works for Ubuntu, if I'm not mistaken. Just right click and extract. Or, I can't quite remember, open the 7Zip utility and open the file within it, then extract. . . Suddenly i remember why I like Windows.

Edit: The graphics in System Shock 1 are evil.

Yes Evily good Especially in high-res. That game was few years ahead of it's time. It was the best codded fps/rpg until the Duke Nukem 3D engine. Doom was a lame excuse in comparison to SS1.
