1. Image format?
2. How are you mounting it?

Thank you so much for the swift reply, I really appreciate it!
I don't have all the details in my head right now. Suffice to say, I've tried the methods that are supposed to work, but they don't seem to work in Windows 7.

I've used the DGBL "mount" settings to mount a .cue file, and I've tried mounting it as a virtual disk (through daemon tools). The disk seems to be fine, I even managed to mount it and attempt an install in dosbox, just to see if it worked( I run the game itself with patched freeware files in the dosroot folder). The disk seems to be working, but somehow BaK can't detect it. It's really frustrating. I'm no computer wizard, so I thought I might find one here.

1. What letter is the virtual drive set to use?
2. Have you tried running IMGMOUNT manually from DOSBox? Sometimes frontends cause some things to not work correctly.

1. F.
2. Not sure, I think I have. I'll try it now anyway.

All mounted drives should use successive letters. Unless you already have a D and E mount, you should mount the drive as D.

Thumbs up

I'm sorry for the blatant double posts, but does anyone have tips regarding the sound settings? The music is lovely, but it gets "hiccups" every three to five seconds, as well as every time another sound is being played. Is it possible to have several sound channels in order to avoid this, and if so, how?

Once again, thanks for taking the time to help me rediscovering Betrayal at Krondor!

If your cycles in dosbox.conf are set to auto, set a distinct value instead. If core is set to auto, set it to dynamic instead.
There are a few tweaks to the buffering that could help as well, but I don't have them on hand right now. Will post them later.

Thanks, got most of the kinks sorted out now!
The only bother now is that the music fades out after a minute or so. Maybe it's not supposed to loop like the MIDI does.

thats normal, back in 93 thats what it did, however the music you hear isn't midi its the actual cd track, and since their is 54 plus tracks they are all about a minute to 2 long at best.

Any suggestion is welcome
