I have just downloaded UAKM from GOG, and I've tried to launch it without success.

I get the error message "No CD-ROM drive available, aborting the game." However, by downloading it from GOG, all the files come in the same directory.

How can I make Dosbox run the game without having to look for the CDROM?

Thanks,

Andy

PS: I'm using a MacBook with OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard

I take it your running through a windows emulation like boxer?(I think its boxer) If so have you checked out this thread?

Different game but that fix may possibly work.

If you ran it through a windows emulator you should try installing the native Mac OSX version of DOSBox and run the game through that. You can find that here: http://dosbox.com/download.php?main=1. It would be 1 fewer level of emulation and a bit less prone to errors. If you need the command to run the game with your own installation of DOSBox feel free to ask, I just can't give you that at the moment because I can't access my Windows right now.

I had the same issue on Ubuntu. The problem was that, in dosboxtex3.conf, the command to switch to drive C is placed after the attempt to mount the cdrom images. To fix it, simply change to

Hello again and thanks for helping!

I've just tried to use dosbox for mac, and after trying and failing with various approaches I wrote the following in the dosbox.conf:

mount e moon/disk1 -t cdrom -label DISK1
mount f moon/disk2 -t cdrom -label DISK2
mount g moon/disk3 -t cdrom -label DISK3
mount h moon/disk4 -t cdrom -label DISK4

now the game launches (great!), but it asks me to insert disk2 when i try to start a new game.

Any ideas how I can fix it?
the "disk" 1-4 locations contain the files from the disc images, not the iso-files themselves. I am not sure I understand how this works.

Thanks again!
