cdrom access does not work "as before" in wine-1.0

[ben]

Hello list,

Although i read posts related to cdrom access with wine in the forum and
did configure wine the way it is told, i still cannot reach a cdrom
image with wine-1.0.1. However, i could with older versions of wine.

Here is the config:

# mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/to/bar-cdrom.iso /media/cdrom

$ ls /media/cdrom
[stuff listed from the bar-cdrom.iso, read as normal user]

$ winecfg
[ -> add D: pointing to /media/cdrom, having CD-ROM access type]

$ winefile
[ i can see the cdrom stuff in D: with normal user]

$ wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/foo/bar.exe
[ foo/bar working correctly, but when it tries to access the CDROM,
it opens a popup telling something like:
"please insert the bar CDROM into your CDROM drive"]

i ensure the bar-cdrom.iso is the right iso for the foo/bar program.
This used to work with a previous version of wine (i don't remember
which one though). The linux kernel i use is a 2.6.27, glibc is 2.8.90,
both from ubuntu 8.10. Thx for any hint on getting the cdrom access (as
an iso file mounted as loop device) working on wine-1.0.1. Maybe is it
fixed on the latest wine?

Wine does not support all operations on the ISO image.
If your program tries to so something via SCSI commands, they work on the real CD only. Try burning this image to CD and check if it's working or not.

Ok
i managed to get the CDROM recognised by the bar.ex app:
in fact, i installed the bar app before to configure the D: drive, so
that bar.exe was configured to check his cdrom access through path
Z:\path\to\mounted\cdrom, which is not a CDROM type access.
I had to mofidy the registry for bar.exe seeting "CDROM access" to D:\
instead of Z:\path\to\mounted\cdrom and then bar.exe could read the
CDROM image.

so, this works fine.
