There have been discussions on Vogons about this, and some folks have defended GOG saying that providing users with original CDROM images would be too onerous given it would increase their disk space and backup usage. I do appreciate that they round-up all the extra stuff like Manuals, Quick-Ref sheet, and scans of other box contents. Compare this with a mount to read the drive in DOSBox, which would read as: 'imgmount e: d:test.img -size 512,63,16,142'.-size The Cylinders, Heads and Sectors specification of the drive. And dosbox says 'drive c is mounted as local directory /users/myname. For example, to mount a 70MB image as the slave drive device, you would type: 'imgmount 3 d:test.img -size 512,63,16,142 -fs none' (without the quotes). They're selling the original DOS game, so I don't think this is unreasonable. I have freedos.img in my home folder on my Mac which is.

More seriously though, I think the best approach is to ask GOG to also provide full images of the CDROM and floppy, for those interested in true retro-gaming (or wanting byte-exact original audio).

We need GOG GONE, that strips GOG's residue:Īnd fetches the original CDROM image (be it ISO + WAV/FLAC, or mode/2352 BIN) or floppy images. There's a product that strips sticky, unwanted residue: I only bring this up because there are probably other weird filename extensions GOG has used for these kinds of CD images, besides INS and INST. Its still possible to mount physical CDs as any other directory, which should be enough to complete the installation of games distributed on CD. I am not sure how many other GOG installers use different file extension names for CUE files like Redneck Rampage does. I currently mount a virtual CD drive because DosBox IMGMOUNT command is clunky to use and supports a very limited number of formats. CUE loading parts of #102 issue.Īlso, the GOG edition of Redneck Rampage has a GOG / INST where the INST serves as its CUE File.

I am keeping this issue open as a bug specifically for. I classify all those issues as bugs for now, you can use Boxtron ( ) as a workaround to automatically convert files for you, but the proper fix needs to land inside dosbox-staging. You can mount the image file directly in DOSBox: In this example, the ISO image game.iso is in c:\games In DOSBox, type imgmount e c:\games\game. * mount C drive (pointing to expected directory) before running imgmount (!) \Sources Copy only Win95A setup file names for a small, patched setup. autoexec Copy an empty 64 MB FAT-16 HDD image to 'Win95CD.img' Mount the image copy and a location with a Win95C (OSR 2.5) CD imgmount c Win95CD.img -size 512,63,4,520 -t hdd mount D. The pause command allows you to freeze the screen and easily debug DOS instructions, you can remove it once you have verified that the imgmount command works (.
#IMGMOUNT DOSBOX INSTALL#
* manually fix paths inside `.ins` file to _exactly_ match paths in your filesystem (the difference happens on case sensitivity and dosbox cannot handle this right now) Step 1: Make the Win95 Install CD Hard Drive image. * use exactly the same current working directory as GOG anticipated in their.
