      So I am attempting to run Little Big Adventure 2 through dosbox. I have successfully installed the game and I can get it to run. However, as soon as it boots, it tells me I need to insert the cd (even though I already mounted the iso file.

      So here is what I did to mount my iso file:

      imgmount d "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/LBA2.iso" -t iso
      
      

      I then change directories and boot LBA2.exe. The game will launch, but tells me that I need to insert the CD. Any thoughts what I may be doing wrong?

      Pi Model or other hardware: 2B
      Power Supply used: 5v 2.5a
      RetroPie Version Used: 4.3
      Built From: Image from website
      USB Devices connected: keyboard, xbox360 connector, wifi dongle
      Controller used: xbox360
      Error messages received:none
      Emulator: DOSBOX

          @edmaul69 so if I understand correctly I should try this?:

          imgmount d "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/LBA2.iso" -t cdrom

              @quicksilver so in this case you need an actual cd running to play it. The second game isnt even in the exodos collection of over 5000 games which probably means it does certain cd checks that requires running the real disc.
