Working directory paths in dosbox conf8/30/2023 ![]() ![]() Imgmount d ".\Games\Dreamweb\Disc Image\Dreamweb.iso" -t cdrom (or -t iso) You can also do this with disc images, so you could do something like: If you wanted to mount a specific subfolder as a cd drive, the same rules apply. would mount that folder as your C drive. ![]() So let's say DOSBox is located in C:\DOSBox and your game (we'll use Dreamweb as an example) is in C:\DOSBox\Games\Dreamweb \.\ = Up two folders from DOSBox's folder Sorry for the super late reply, but relative paths are usable in DOSBox. I also tried to mount the folder from within LaunchBox & use the copy of DOSBox from within LaunchBox, and while I can get Windows 3.1 to run, the drive doesn't mount. **EDIT:** Just wanted to mention that the DOSBox that's being used in this situation is contained within the directory, "DOSBox-Win31", and not the DOS Box in LaunchBox, so any folder mounted is relative to that directory, not the LaunchBox one. I had assumed that "CD\" would make it relative, but that doesn't work. How do I write the command so that it looks in that CD directory relative to the root directory? The original config file has #mount D "CD\" in it, but even after removing the # & switching the D to A, it doesn't work. Mount A C:\Users\usernamehere\LaunchBox\Games\Windows3\DOSBox-Win31\CD -t cdrom Now, I've gotten this to work by using the "-t cdrom" command & specifying a directory that has the CD files in it, but the problem is that the path is specific, meaning that if I move Launch Box to another computer, it won't work. Now the problem I'm having is that a program that I've downloaded (Gazillionare) thinks the CD drive is the A drive, so it checks that & fails, since there is no A drive (I can't reinstall it, unfortunately). That config file has "mount C C" in its commands to mount the root directory as the C drive, and then it launches Windows 3.1. So I have Windows 3.1 in LaunchBox, and it uses a bat file with the following off ![]() For some reason, I thought I tried that, but I guess I didn't. The command mount A "GazCD\" -t cdrom worked. Solved it, but I'm leaving this up in case anyone needs it. ![]()
