Absolutely! - Pop your 2nd/3rd/etc disc in your drive and run the MS-DOS install wizard within LaunchBox. - Follow the process exactly as you would with Disc 1 until you come across the problem of selecting the install executable. - To continue, simply select any random file on the disc and continue to copy the CD to your destination folder. - Once LaunchBox has created the image and copied it to your HDD it'll run DosBox to install, but will fail as we've selected a random file. - Exit out of DosBox and click 'Cancel' when asked if you need to re-install. - Rename or move the BIN and CUE images to the directory where your Disc 1 is stored - Edit the game in LaunchBox and select the 'Mounts' tab. - Select 'Add Disc Image' and here you can point it at the CUE for Disc 2. - Select the SAME Drive Letter for all the images. - When playing the game (or installing) press Ctrl+F4 to switch between the discs. ** Alternatively you can remove all images from the 'Mounts' tab and use the following line in a custom DosBox .conf for your game:
IMGMOUNT D "..\..\LaunchBox\Games\MS-DOS\YourGame\MyGame_Disc1.cue" "..\..\LaunchBox\Games\MS-DOS\YourGame\MyGame_Disc2.cue" -t iso -fs iso
- More information about disc mounting commands here: https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/IMGMOUNT Hope that helps!
