I've spent a couple hours trying to get CD music working in HOMM2 but no luck. I've tried the suggestions of changing the backslashes to forward slashes in the .conf files, which works to load the bin file (homm2.gog), but the trouble seems to be the cue file (homm2.inst) just refuses to load.

If I edit homm2.inst to remove the CD music tracks, that works fine (it's just mounting homm2.gog, which works anyway), but as soon as I add the music files back in DOSBox gives the following errors, depending on which version I'm using:

0.74 - MSCDEX: Failure: Invalid file or unable to open.

0.73 - MSCDEX: Failure: Path not valid.

Or the best one:

0.72 - Crash to desktop with a kernel segmentation fault.

I even tried suggestions I'd found on other forums based on the error messages - moving all the .ogg files into the same directory as the cue file and removing the "music\" path before each filename inside homm.inst, changing all the backslashes in homm.inst to forward slashes, and changing the capitalization of "music" to "MUSIC" to account for case sensitivity. Nothing seemed to work.

So to the people who've said they got the CD music working, I guess my question is: HOW?!

Oh, also, I'm on Snow Leopard 10.6.5, if that makes any difference. I guess I'm ok really, since the game runs fine, but I'd really like to get the music working too. Any ideas?

Thanks ICCAFSN! That did the trick nicely. :)
