I've never found a way around this, nor have I found a no-CD crack for either game (and honestly, googling Risk II is a pain in the ass as I usually get the actual board game or tons of just unrelated junk). The only nut I haven't cracked is I have two specific games-Need for Speed: High Stakes and Risk II-that seem to always know if there's not an actual CD in the drive. though I think that was around the WinXP era).įor a long time one of my personal headaches was if the game had audio music tracks, how do I rip a disc of that AND play it from a digital image AND still have the CD-ROM music? But recently I cracked even that nut. The following are the commands to mount a CD-ROM drive called D: using a CD-ROM in your computer (replace 'e:' with the actual drive name), or a folder on your C: drive, respectively. That said even on actual Windows 98, I often rip ISOs (I usually just use old versions of Nero) and mount the discs with, say, an old version of Daemontools (you might prefer something else though-do research, as ONE, only older DTools will work on Win98 anyway and TWO, at some point the program started incorporating adware. To mount a folder or drive as a CD-ROM drive, use the '-t' parameter of the mount command.

Now that we're done with that OS stuff back to DosBox. If you have more than one CD-ROM drive Ubuntu may will have mounted it to /media/cdromx where x is a number. Best $50 I ever spent.You've joined a mighty happy family, son! Ubuntu will happily auto-mount the CD for you to /media/cdrom0 assuming that you placed teh CD in that drive.
