It can work, but it also can't. All depends how and with what soft the images are created.
Thanks, is there anyway to convert the other formats to .iso to make it work correctly, or do I just have to work with them?

@imgmount D "F:\DosGames\shorted\iso\Space Hulk.bin" -t iso
Thanks, I thought I tried to mount an img file, but it was after 1AM and I had just finished downloading the files needed, so I might not have.

I just wanted to know because I looked through the iso cellar and saw several games I would like, but I am on dialup and don't want to download the files if I don't know how to use them and can't figure it out. I will try these and see how they work.

Edit: Apparently I DIDN'T try to mount the img file I got because it worked, guess I got the syntax wrong or just something else, or dreamed mounting it (with me there is no telling)

Okay, off to happily download and I will be sure to post here if I need help with something

Edit2: Okay, with the ISO cellar, do I have to download EVERY file there under a specific link (for instance the wolf files, do I have to download all the wolf.r01 etc... as well as the wolf.rar and the other files there?) I normally would, but I just want to make sure before I download them incase I can get out of it (remember that dialup problem )
