So try to be constructive and as technical as possible if something doesn't work as expected, I'll be thankful. This initial release is feature complete as of now for what I wanted to accomplish, yet it is clearly marked as intended for public testing.

Dosbox pure mac osx#
Mac OSX Z:\>MOUNT C ~/DOSGAMES Z:\>MOUNT D "/Volumes/Panzer General" -t cdrom The disc label in this example is "DOOM2_V17A". For example, a DOOM II disc shows up as /media/DOOM2_V17A. If you insert a disc in the CD ROM or DVD ROM drive and mount it on your Linux system, or have it set up to auto-mount when the disc is inserted, then use Nautilus to browse to the /media directory, you will see the label of the CD as a folder therein. Note that the Linux path is absolute and case-sensitive.
Dosbox pure iso#
Z:\>MOUNT D /media/CD_LABEL/ -t cdrom -usecd 0 -ioctl Z:\>IMGMOUNT E ~/IMAGES/MYIMAGE.ISO -T ISO Use this command instead, replacing values as appropriate for your system: Open the CD-ROM in Nautilus (or your preferred file manager) to determine its label. This is because CD-ROMs are mounted based on their label and do not share a common mount point. Users of the current version of Ubuntu (9.10 Karmic Koala) may notice that the above command doesn't work. Linux Z:\>MOUNT C ~/DOSGAMES Z:\>MOUNT D /MEDIA/CDROM/ -T CDROM When mounting multiple images (useful for any application which requires discs to be swapped while it is running), you can then switch between the mounted disk-images by pressing Ctrl+F4 (by default) while your application is running. Mounting multiple images (ISO or CUE/BIN) Z:\>IMGMOUNT E C:\Images\MyImage1.iso C:\Images\MyImage2.iso -t iso It is also possible to use a cuescheet in combination with an ISO and compressed audio tracks in OGG or MP3 format. The BIN-file has to be in the same folder as the CUE-file. Z:\>IMGMOUNT E C:\Images\MyImage.cue -t iso Since ISO can only contain pure data, the image has to be in the CUE/BIN format.

Store modifications in separate save files Changes made to a loaded ZIP file will be stored as a. If the game plays additional music tracks from the cd ( mixed mode), you can still mount it as an image file.
