cash84 Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 I have a game that requires to have the disc in when launching the .exe file. Have you guys ever run into a game like this? I have a ISO file to mount and works fine. Wondering if there's a way to make a batch file to auto mount ISO file to run game. Thank you!

SentaiBrad Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Yes I have and honestly the easiest solution would be to find a no-cd exe for it. As dumb as that sounds, and isn't a real solution for a game you already legitimately own, in the long run it will just be way easier.

DOS76 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 You definitely can use a .bat to launch you can probably just set up an additional app for that game in Launchbox and have daemon tools launch the game very easily To use the additional app go into edit and then the additional app tab. In the first text box you will put what you want to name your additonal app in the second text box you will put your path to the disk mounting software (I don't know how to do it with the built in disc mounting but a 3rd party like Daemon Tools should work) In the third line you have to type -mount dt, 0, "Path to the ISO in quotes" Then check the before check box.

cash84 Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 I've looked into it and just worried about viruses on those downloads. The game I am trying to work with is 'The Elders Scroll: Morrowind'. I'll look a little deeper to make sure I don't get a bad one. Thank you for your fast reply.

SentaiBrad Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 You should be fine, but if it is just for this game, my honest suggestion would be to either to buy a Steam or GOG version. That way no discs are needed. GOG and Steam games can also be added to LaunchBox. Granted, this isn't viable for every game and I don't think you want to buy the game a second time, but you shouldn't have to worry too much about no-cd exe's.

Ran into issues trying to make it work but got it. Thanks again! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
