            I can mount 😄 as you said and appears in DIR all the archives of the game, but when I type INDARK.EXE this appears:

            alt text

            Thank you again @voljega

              @charlesmarried ok so the full content of your DOSBOXBAT should be :

              MOUNT C "./recalbox/share/roms/dos/alone.pc"
              C:
              imgmount d .\cd\alone1.cue -t cdrom
              pause
              c:
              INDARK
              

              you may have to rename the cue file in the cd subdir to alone1.cue, the bin file to alone1.bin and edit the content of the cue file : first line should refer to the right bin name alone1.bin :

              FILE "alone1.bin" BINARY
              

              all bin and cue names should use lowercase and nothing else

              The pause command should indicate you if the mount of the cd went well

                  In the dosbox.bat it is not necessary to mount 😄 Just if you make some manipulation outside from the dosbox.bat file.
                  The drive 😄 is automatically mounted before dosbox.bat started.
                  You can control this very easy if you make a small dosbox.bat with just the lines

                  CLS
                  DIR/P
                  EXIT
                  

                  or just this to see what he does, this 1 line dosbox.bat

                  CHOICE
                  

                  Even when you are starting dosbox.bat on Z: he will display you the directory in 😄
                  🙂

                    @dragu yeah i know but re-read the whole thread : this is exactlty the problem for him apparently : his dosbox doesn't mount c or something

                    You cansee that in his first screenshot

                      I think that his crack program was not running under dosbox (perhaps windows program?) and when the dosbox.bat has a bad program inside, he returns to z:
                      With the 1 line bat "CHOICE" you see best the mount 😄 before dosbox.bat is started.

                      When you start dosbox with the directory behind as the recalbox launcher make, dosbox from himself automatically mount 😄 It is in the binary from dosbox.

                        @dragu said in Always this screen when play DosBox:

                        I think that his crack program was not running under dosbox (perhaps windows program?) and when the dosbox.bat has a bad program inside, he returns to z:

                        But then we should at least see in the dos screen the mounting of 😄 and the explicit call to dosbox.bat and there is nothing... even with an empty dosbox.bat or with just dir where it show only the content of Z:

                        So it's not working even when not calling the crack exe

                          The disc 😄 is just mounted during the execution of dosbox.bat, so with empty or fault inside, you will not see it on the screen. Tryout by yourself with 1 line bat and "choice or "pause" in this line. Till the program is activ, dosbox.bat is activ and 😄 mounted. After exit from dosbox.bat, 😄 dont exist anymore. He returns to Z:

                            @dragu ok but I was under the impression that he tested with just pause.

                            at least it didn't work with just DIR in dosbow.bat, C was not mounted because 😄 wouldn't work ?

                              It works, but you dont see the result anymore 🙂
                              Try onetime with DIR/P (what makes him stopping and not ending dosbox.bat), you will see the directory 😄

                                    @dragu ok for the sake of documentation @charlesmarried managed to make the game work, so in the end the problem was indeed the calling of a windows exe like you said

                                      I have the same problem. Your roms folder is in SD, USB or NAS?
