Re: [Freedos-user] CDRom Was Re: Dictionnary program not working
Hi, Many years ago, I was using a neat program called 'FakeCD' to run a few CD games without the actual CDs, like Carmageddon. IIRC, FakeCD was not using an ISO file as input, but rather a directory with files, and emulated a CDROM drive from that. So it wasn't able for eg. to emulate a CD with audio tracks. Surprisingly, I see that FakeCD still have a web page after all those years: http://www.math.uni-rostock.de/~nfa506/fakecddr.html I do not know whether it will work with DOSEMU or not, my experience was limited to a physical PC 15 years ago.

Under VirtualBox you can install FreeDOS and CDROM emulation runs perfectly (emulated by VirtualBox, not by FreeDOS) Alain Em 28-12-2013 13:36, Shérab escreveu: > Hi, > > Still trying to use that old dictionary program for DOS. > So the dictionary runs on CD -ROM for which I have a .iso image. > > So far I mounted the .ISO file on, say, /cdrom/ and then created a > symbolic link called e under ~/.dosemu/drives pointing to /cdrom. > > So of course, that way, the CD-ROM is not really emulated. > > Is there a way to access the .iso file from within dosemu / freedos > through something that would emulate a CD-ROM driver better ? > > Thanks, > Shérab. > > -- > Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.

Not completely true. What I'm actually oing is that I have copied all the files in the .isofile to,say, /cdrom/ And there is the symbolic link as explained earlier. And I noticed that autoexec.bat also has this line: lredir e: linux\fs/media/cdrom c When dosemu starts it prints this line: E: = LINUX\FS/MEDIA/CDROM CDROM:1 attrib = READ ONLY Is there anything else I can try in terms of CDROM emulation?
