lukeman3000: Hi -

What does the -fs parameter do in this context? I cannot find this information anywhere, not even on the dosbox wiki.

cyboff: it specifies resulting file system format. Just for extracting, I think you can choose fat too...

from https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/IMGMOUNT :

IMGMOUNT DRIVE [imagefile] -t [image_type] -fs [image_format]
-size [sectorsbytesize, sectorsperhead, heads, cylinders -u DRIVE]

-fs
The following are valid file system formats:
iso
Specifies the ISO 9660 optical disc format.

fat
Specifies that the image uses the FAT file system. DOSBox will attempt to mount this image as a drive in DOSBox and make the files available from inside DOSBox.

none
DOSBox will make no attempt to read the file system on the disk. This is useful if you need to format it or if you want to boot the disk using the BOOT command. When using the "none" filesystem, you must specify the drive number (2 or 3, where 2=master, 3=slave) rather than a drive letter. For example, to mount a 70MB image as the slave drive device, you would type: "imgmount 3 d:\test.img -size 512,63,16,142 -fs none" (without the quotes). Compare this with a mount to read the drive in DOSBox, which would read as: "imgmount e: d:\test.img -size 512,63,16,142".
Not sure how I overlooked that. Thanks.

Is there any way to play the game in DOSBox without mounting the dat file? Furthermore are there any pros and cons to mounting or not mounting?

It depends on game, but usually it's used for simulating CD drive.

SirAlastor: (…) I read a while ago that the game was supported in ScummVM as well. I tried to add the game in ScummVM, but it fails to recognize IHNMAIMS (I use v1.6.0).
Better you use current ScummVM version.

You must extract the files from the NoMouth.dat the can play with ScummVM.
See the data files from SummVM-Wiki.

Another workaround for extract the files:
Duplicate the desktop shortcut from IHNMAIMS, rename this (eg. IHNMAIMS install) and via right click edit the preferences field:

from:
"C:\GOG Games\I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream\DOSBOX\DOSBox.exe" -conf "..\dosboxnomouth.conf" -conf "..\dosboxnomouth_single.conf" -noconsole -c exit

to:
"C:\GOG Games\I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream\DOSBOX\DOSBox.exe" -conf "..\dosboxnomouth.conf" -conf "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\install.conf" -noconsole -c exit

Create a text file with follow content and save this as install.conf on desktop:
####### begin #######
[autoexec]
mount c ..
imgmount d -t iso -fs iso ..\NoMouth.dat
mount e "c:\Users\[your username]\Desktop\"
md e:\IHNM
copy d:\*.* e:\IHNM\
exit
####### end #######

Start the "IHNMAIMS install" shortcut. DOSBox will copy the file for ScummVM into IHNM folder.
Delete the copy shortcut and install.conf.

Now you can play IHNMAIMS with ScummVM.

SirAlastor: I have another question. The game is installed alongside DOSBox, which I don't mind.
However, I read a while ago that the game was supported in ScummVM as well. I tried to add the game in ScummVM, but it fails to recognize IHNMAIMS (I use v1.6.0). Is there a way to fix this or is ScummVM compatibility regarding this game forgettable anyway?
The game is now using ScummVM.

Is there a good reason for removing the DOS executable for those of us who still want the option to run it that way?

EDIT: maybe it doesn't work with the unpacked ISO?

Okay, as mentioned in the changelog thread, updating the game to use ScummVM was handled in a superbly st**** way.

I'm no expert with either DOSBOX or ScummVM and am CURRENTLY playing this game.

All my DOSBOX savegames are stored in $GAMEDIR/SCREAM/SCREAM.sav . After updating, the ScummVM savegames are being stored to $GAMEDIR/saves/ihnm.sXX .

The updated version

- doesn't provide any tool to convert my DOSBOX saves to ScummVM saves
- deleted the older DOSBOX way of playing this game so I can't even finish my game (that my saves would be gone then wouldn't matter)

Can somebody help me with this?

Are you using Galaxy? Rollback to the previous version. Otherwise you need to uninstall/reinstall with the old installer, e.g. ask Support.
As you are painfully aware ScummVM does not support native saves. DOSBox doesn't have special saves. As far as I know there is not conversion tool as it would need to be unique per game engine at the least.

Well, they could have let the older DOSBOX wrapper remain in the folder...Anyway, I already rolled back to GOG-1.

This really is a nice feature, the version rollback.

Indeed! And this is actually the first moment I ever considered trying Galaxy. Make a note on that, PR team. ;)
(The only multiplayer game I play with my friends is Terraria.)

Very nice, I did not expect this after all the years. Thanks for the update!
