WINE does not recognize mounted ISO

LDanix · Post by **LDanix** » Wed Jun 10, 2009 8:20 am

I'm a new user of WINE (and Ubuntu). I have mounted an ISO and have configured WINE to see it as the D: drive; however, when I attempt to access the disc (game- RollerCoaster Tycoon 2) it tells me that there is no disc in the drive. I can get it to run by placing the disc in the drive, though. I even changed the image to the drive letter that the physical CD-Rom was (I:) and that still didn't work. Any suggestions?

Wine 1.1.23

did you mount the iso to a directory, and then the directory as a drive in wine?

Yes.
I mounted the iso to /media/RCT2
In WINE I mapped that directory to D: (and later, I: as a test)

When you open that directory in a filemanager, are all the files there, and are they readable (accessible)?
And also, have you tried a no-cd crack for the game? I don't think wine emulates the copy protection (for things like securom).

I can access the files in the filemanager. I launched the autorun and clicked the button to play the game...then it tells me there's no disc.

I have not attempted a no-cd crack. Right off the top of your head, do you know where I can get such a crack?

I found the crack and it works.
Thanks for the help!

google search should find one, but you can look in www.gamecopyworld.com first.

The reason it didn't work is that just a mounted iso isn't the same as a cd-rom drive e.g. games can't read things like cd-titles and other tracks. If 'd' is the cd-rom drive then 'd:' in dosdevicesneeds to point to the mount point and 'd::' to the .iso file. Another method is to use cdemu which offers you real device files.
