      @brunin Then you need to use the imgmount command to mount it as a "disc". Needs to be an .iso or .bin/cue

      Also you'll need to use a different letter since C is already mounted as your hard drive. Try something like this:

      imgmount d "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/nameofgame.iso" -t iso just make sure to point it where ever your .iso file actually is.

          @brunin mount can mount a folder as a CD ROM, but the game might have some copy protection which expects the actual CD. If you wish to mount the folder as a CD-Drive, try something like

          mount d "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/tilt" -t  cdrom

                @brunin it's case sensitive I'm pretty sure. Needs to be TILT based on the prior picture your posted

                    @brunin the folder is RetroPie not retropie. Also check the case of the tilt folder.

                        @brunin why are you putting c:/back in there? - just use /home/pi .. (and don't forget -t cdrom)

                            @brunin the tilt folder may be lowercase. Check not from dosbox but from however you uploaded the data (eg samba share)

                                  How would you normally play the game - in DOS/Windows ? What would you execute - TILT.BAT, TILT.EXE or Pinball.exe ?

                                      @brunin you won't get help like that.

                                      The folder name is lowercase btw. It's tilt not TILT. This can be clearly seen in the location bar on the screenshot.

                                        You probably need to mount tilt/TILT - but try running it by cd'ing to the folder as it may work that way without mounting the folder.
