Game ISO in DOSBox?

[kkellogg378]

So I have an old Atari Greatest Hits game (Requires Windows 95) that I used ImgBurn to create an ISO of. I have been looking for a while for a way to play these games on my Raspberry Pi 2 running the latest RetroPie, but my research has been unsuccessful. The ISO has a StartMe.exe at the root of the ISO that starts the program, but I have zero experience with DOSBox and would appreciate some help.

You need to use "IMGMOUNT" within DOSbox. Here's some documentation with examples: http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/IMGMOUNT

Thanks for the quick response. The Wiki says to use this format: IMGMOUNT DRIVE [imagefile] -t [image_type] -fs [image_format]. So the command would be imgmount c ~RetroPie/roms/pc/Atari/"Atari Hits 1.iso" -t iso -fs [image_format]. Would ISOs made under ImgBurn be the ISO format?

@kkellogg378

I would recommend against using "c" - the "roms/pc" directory is assigned to C by our script.

[kkellogg378]

Do you mean change "c" to "j" or something? Or cut the "c" entirely?

[psyke83]

Use another letter for mounting the iso. Every time DOSbox is launched through EmulationStation, the script does the equivalent of "mount c ~/RetroPie/roms/pc", so "C:" will already be assigned.

Alright. So imgmount c ~RetroPie/roms/pc/Atari/"Atari Hits 1.iso" -t iso -fs [image_format]. Would the [image_format] be ISO in this case?

[psyke83]

Presumably it should be able to auto-detect, but again, don't use "c". This should be enough:

mount d "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/Atari/Atari Hits 1.iso" -t iso

Ok cool. I'll have to test this out tomorrow. Last thing though - is there a batch-type file that I can run via DOSBox that will type that all out for me? Because that will be annoying to type out over and over again.

[psyke83]

.exe and .bat files will appear in the "pc" section of EmulationStation, so you can surely put the needed commands into a batch file, yes.
