Default No cdrom..

Hi,
Using DOSBOX I keep getting this error whenever I try and run FG:

C:\>FG
C:\> cd exe

C:\EXE>barena n
DOS/4GW Professional Protected Mode Run-time Version 1.96
Copyright (c) Rational Systems, Inc. 1990-1994

You Must Have A CD Drive.

C:\EXE>cd..

C:\>

Now I DO have a CD drive and I have the disk in the drive...

Did you mount your CD-Drive in DOSBox?

mount D X:\ -t cdrom [instead of X insert the letter of your CD-ROM]

Default Music?

OK so I got FG working fine with sound. But no music (I have a similar problem with Panzer General except that has no sound at all). I have not read the whole thread yet (about halfway through it) but I noticed other people have this issue.

I have the original CD so its not something specific to the abandonia version or anything. Does anyone have any ideas for the music?

Thanks.

Have you ran the soundcard setup?
Per default, DOSBox emulates Sound Blaster 16 (backwards compatible with Sound Blaster Pro series and "plain" Sound Blasters), IRQ 7, DMA 1, HDMA 3, Adress 220.

Other helpful trick:
Create a BIN/CUE of the CD and use imgmount in dosbox.
Syntax:
imgmount d x:\path\name.cue -t iso

Keep your \path\name short.

DOSRaider - great idea. Thanks! Currently I am pointing the cdrom to the original CD in my CD-Drive.

Fifth Horseman,
Yes I ran the setup and it said it auto-detected and the sound-fx work fine. Just no in game music. Should I reconfigure the sound to that specific setting? Do you have music out of interest?

Nice replaying it. This is a great game. It's spiritual successor is Fantasy Wars but I still think this is the better game.

Another question. I drop the resolution of my PC to 800x600 so the window isnt so tiny (full screening it to 800x600 or higher crashes the game). Is there a one click method to mount the drives and change my resulotuion?

Yes, you can do that by modifying the DOSBox config file.
