Wine don't recognize an .iso as CD

Post by Metalhead666 »

I have installed wine 1.5.10 and when i'm trying to install a game using "mount <dir iso> <dir mount> -t iso9660 -o loop" to mount the .iso and adding the dir at winecfg and put CDROM, it still says to put the CD.
I already installed another game in .iso and worked well.
And I installed the same game in windows before and worked well too.
In wine 1.5.9 said the same error and on playonlinux too.

What can I do??

That I saw: Wine only consider the iso mounted in /media/ folder as an optical drive. Better than mount your iso with mount command with root account, use cdemu, no need for root privilege and it emulates right optical driver.

it will be a good feature for wine to emulate optical drive himself, like dosbox do it, I don't know if it's a planned feature?

It's a game named ballance and happened the same with another 2 or 3 games which I don't remember the name.

wine 1.5.10 and 1.5.9 as I said in the first post.

did you check in winecfg that the directory mounted as `d:' is a CD rom drive?
