stevaside Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) I recently bought a few games I had back in the day, mainly casino & card games off Ebay & ripped them all using IMGburn to .IMG files. I couldn't figure out how to add & play them in LB. All Ive done so far is installed the games on my HDD , mounted them w virtual clone drive & played them that way, but I have to keep ejecting & re-mounting to play the others. In LB, w Dosbox I have DOS games set up to always mount disc images when I select to play them, sure that'd be a similar way to do this with these games?? Also, a couple I can't get working at all. All games are around 2001-2004 , some from same series/publisher too but won't run. The install screen will come up but as soon as it looks like its finished installing, it shuts off. Clicking on the shortcut or exe for game, nothing even happens. I've set Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode for all of these games BTW Edited January 3, 2019 by stevaside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add the game to launchbox, right click the game and choose edit, choose the "additional apps" tab - here you can add your mounting software. Then, within quotes, add the filename and path to the .img as a command line parameter. That should set you on the right track. Depending on what imaging software you use, you may have to supply another parameter before the path. Games from that era can be finnicky to get to work on newer versions of windows and hardware - mostly because some of the games may be using the old windows kernel (9x, and not NT as today). Anyway, your best bet is probably just to google the specific games and see if others have gotten it to work. Good luck!
