        @brunin pc is already mounted as c:
        Try:
        cd tilt
        Then run your game from that folder. Also I believe it is case sensitive.

            @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.
