      @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.

          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?
