Dosbox mount cdrom iso1/21/2024 ![]() Windows 95 (and the game) will always think it is CD-ROM. However, if the game is explicitly asking the drive the media type, that is the only DVD-related thing DOSBox-X does not emulate yet. Other than that, 4GB+ ISOs should mount just fine, whether they use ISO 9660 or UDF. The only possible limit I can think of is a possible 2GB limit if the ISO image support is not using fopen64/lseek64. There's no limit to the size of the ISO allowed, unless DOSBox-X inherited some limit from SVN at the time X began as a fork. So, it would be great if such a feature could be built directly into DOSBox-X, as the simplest method with no performance impact. I have not tried using a virtual CD mounting program because I understood that there is a limit to the volume size that can be accessed anyway, or am I mistaken? I also read that programs like Daemon tools require many extra extensions and components such as IE4 which will tend to bog down Windows 95 with extra bloat and affect overall performance. I saw some conversations about this over the last few years, but no clear work-arounds. It is also a bit of a hassle to swap through 5 or 6 CDs during play. Most of these DVD games had enhanced graphics and sound making them superior to their CD version. ![]() I do not mean support for playing movies specifically, but just the ability to mount them within the virtual drive in order to install and play supported games for example, Riven, Wing Commander IV, JMP Legacy of Time etc. I would like to request a feature to be able to mount DVD images within a Windows 9x environment in DOSBox-X.
