How are you mounting the image? Are you using another program to mount it to a virtual drive? Or are you using Dosbox to mount the image itself?

I am not using a frontend to mount the drive; I am just trying to mount the rloft file to the D drive as IMGMOUNT. Unfortunately, when I do so as an ISO, the files do not appear to be accessible, and it does not recognize the .img as its own directory right now. The iso itself, however, can be sort-of-mounted with IMGMOUNT D [INSERTDIRECT]\File.iso - t iso

This command is not useful, however, right now...

EDIT: I see now why the ISO file would not work - I did not convert the file, I just placed the file in an ISO wrapper - useless

Mounting the .img as disc would probably be a better solution since my .iso file is not really a .iso file.

The easiest way to do this would be to use a program like Magicdisk or dameontools lite or some other similar program to mount the image file as a virtual drive. Once that is done you just need to mount that drive i.e. mount d g:\

Alright, coolness, thanks! I used daemon tools lite. Magic disc is too much of an issue on Windows 7, it appears - or I just did not know how to use it right =)

I placed the IMG in a virtual drive, now it runs just fine, as I can mount it as a CD image.

That said, if it were not for the VERY EXTENSIVE and kind help, my nostalgia, my basic computer knowledge and the fact I have planned D&D and clones thereof for many years, I may not have been obsessed/willing enough to go forward. An ISO in the extras, along with instructions for setting up virtual drives or using virtual drive software is a must for the casual Abandonia user.

Thanks again to all. I will have to set up detailed thanks on this thread. For now, I must play the heroes... going off into the mist!!! Strahd awaits.

Are you using dosbox?

[Gavindale Marchovia]

Yes, I have DosBox installed on my computer.

But did you start the game inside DOSBox?

[Gavindale Marchovia]

Honestly, I am new to DosBox as well - how do I start the game in DosBox?

[arete]

The easiest way is to create a shortcut to DosBox and put it in the game's folder. Then just drag and drop the game's executable onto the shortcut. It should run just fine
