iso mount [SOLVED]

Many DOS games can be found in ISO form or as BIN/CUE files, and lots of those can be mounted/run from Dosbox in any OS.

For things requiring Windows, there are multiple ways to do it. You can use WINE or you can actually install Win3.x inside of Dosbox to run early Win games.

Playonlinux is more like an extension to wine which makes things more automated/adds functionality for certain games. I used it with a few games years ago.

And if none of that works, just run the target OS for the game in a virtualbox VM and load the game in there.


Some useful resources for most of this stuff can be found here and here.  Those links will lead you to info about extra apps made specifically to mount ISO's as a drive if needed.

And lastly, there are versions of games available online in places like this which come packaged with portable versions of Dosbox pre-installed and configured in an archive so you can simply unzip the files and run the game, and it will launch right away.  I think these only work in Windows or a linux system set up to handle Win .exe files.


Also, there was a recent update to US copyright laws concerning abandonware, so you may want to look into that stuff.
