I don't know how. It is a bit tricky. Some combination of swapping the CD's at the underlying operating system level (OSX), and then using CTRL-F4 (I think) inside DOSBox to have it refresh its idea of which files/directories that are available on the mouted devices.

Don't know about OSX but *nix does have programs to mount CD images (you can also just mount plain old .iso's in *nix without any 3rd party programs).

Hey

Thanks for the replies.

I have no problems mounting and unmounting images in OS X (it can do so natively... you don't even need to mount -o loop etc.), the problem is mounting them in DOSBOX 🙁

Also, it mounts to /Volumes/X where X is the volume label, and since the different CDs will have different labels, the mount point will change each time. Regardless, you can't unmount it if it's in use, whether this is os x or linux and that's the main thing. There doesn't seem to be a low level mount in Dosbox (ie. accessing /dev/hdb etc.) only a high level one that points to something in the actual filesystem.

Anything here that will help with the un-mounting?

(I see there is a unmount -force option for that hdiutil)

umount -l will do a "lazy" unmount, that allows for ejection in Linux. Doesn't look like the BSD umount command has a similar option. 😒

Yeah 🙁 Has no one came across this problem before? I'm sure there's dozens of games on multiple CDs. Even if there is a way to get the hacked unmount to forcibly happen, I'll have to probably create symlinks etc. since the mount points will be different for the different discs... it's rather a pain for changing CDs, espacially in those games where CD changing happens every few minutes of game time (which is most of the DOS multi-CD games) 🙁 Dosbox should seriously include something to do this more easily, or at least have a iso equivalent to the floppy image swaps 🙁

IIRC, there's a patch for DosBox for .ISO swapping. I don't know if it's in the CVS though.

The patch is not in the CVS.
I never got a comment about it from the devs, so I cannot tell you if it gets committed to CVS someday...

dat sux 🙁

Thanks tho 😀
