WWF DOS Rom won't load. Can't find CD in Drive D

BTE2000

Hi all. I'm trying to get WWF in your house for dos to load but I'm having trouble. It begins to load in dosbox until I get this error:

"Function: copy_check
Can't find the WWF in your house CD in drive D...
Partial install requires WWFIYH CD-Rom for network play
Press any key to exit"

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am new to dosbox and I've tried for hours just to start this game.

you need to imgmount the CD image to drive D: before trying to run the game. Easiest way of doing this is setting up a .conf file to launch your dos games. This will save you time so that you dont have to type out launching instructions each time you want to load a game.

@quicksilver Thank u for Answering! How exactly would I go about doing this? Is this done onto the micro sd or from dosbox itself. Sorry I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to dosbox.

Also what file is the cd image file

@BTE2000 You need to run the imgmount command from inside dosbox. The CD image file should come from your installation kit or your game copy - you can rip the CD image to an .iso file which can be read by `doxbox.

@BTE2000 This is quite the rabbit hole so bare with me :)

So firstly I would recommend creating a separate folder within your /roms/ directory to put all of your Dos game files in. Currently you have everything in /roms/pc. I would recommend creating a folder in /roms/ called "pc2" or "pcgamefiles", it doesnt matter what its called. This way it keeps all the multitude of game files out of the /roms/pc folder. Then your launching .conf files will go in /roms/pc. This way you have just one file displayed for each dos game and things will look much tidier.

Second, youll want to create a blank document in /roms/pc titled: nameofgame.conf (name it whatever you want). In the blank document you'll want to create a section that looks like this:

[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
@echo off
mount c "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/gamefilesfolder/"
imgmount d "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/path/to/image.iso" -t iso
c:
cls
cd nameofgamefolder
game.exe
exit

^
So what this is doing is executing commands for you, so that you dont need to type them out each time you launch a game. Each of those commands needs to properly point to the correct directories on your pi for the game to work so make sure you modify what I posted above. Upper/Lower case matters as well so pay attention to that.
