How To Install Warcraft 2 With Dosbox On Windows 7 Mac
Hello everyone! This is my first post on these forums, so I hope it's the right place to ask for help.I've recently discovered DosBox and so I've been digging up my old games to play on my brand new MacBook Pro. I'm running into a bit of a snag trying to get Warcraft 2 to work. I actually have the Battle Chest (it's a 3-cd Box with WC1, WC2 and the WC2 expansion).Well the problem I'm running into is, those games were also made to run on Mac OS 'classic' (meaning up to system 9. They won't run on OSX). Because of this, when I put the CD in the drive, it shows me the mac install files.Since it only shows me the mac files, when I mount the CD drive on DosBox, I can't access the PC files (namely the install.exe I need to run in order to install it).Is there any way to make DosBox able to read the CD correctly so I can install the game?
Just as a clarification, the following command is what I've been using to mount the drive:mount D '/volumes/Warcraft II CD' -t cdrom switchThe only labels that appear under /volumes on OSX are 'Warcraft II CD' and 'Warcraft 2 Game Music'. I know for a fact that under windows the label (volume name) that displays the PC files is named 'WAR2122' however I don't know how to make DosBox read that particular 'partition' of the CD and I'm stuck seeing only the mac files which does me no good.So, any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Hopefully my post is clear enough, but I can provide more details as needed.Thanks in advance! Newbie Posts: 8 Joined: 2011-12-09 @ 19:33. Ok so I booted up my windows partition (bootcamp) and made bin + cue images of both cds (tides of darkness and beyond the dark portal) using the Alchohol 120% trial version.I managed to install ToD just fine and run it.
Cd music works, everything is perfect. However I can't seem to make the expansion install at all. I used the same options under Alchohol to make both images and yet the expansion won't work.I know both cds are working properly because I was able to install and play everything just fine on dosbox for windows (mounting the actual CDs as the D: drive).When I switch back to OSX, I obviously can't mount the CDs as the D: drive so I'm using the IMGMOUNT command with the.cue files.Are there any copy protection on either disk that you guys are aware of?

The game is installed on a folder that's mounted as the C: drive.Like I said, Tides of Darkness works flawlessly using IMGMOUNT and setting the Tides of Darkness.cue as the D: drive. Even the cd audio works fine.My problem is making the Beyond the Dark Portal image work in the same way. I created both images using alchohol using the exact same settings. I'm not sure if it's some sort of copy protection that alchohol couldn't bypass or if it's something else.

Other than a simple CD check I don't recall either Warcraft CD being copy protected, given enough patience it could be made to run entirely from the hard drive, videos and all, except, obviously, CD music.Oldbie Posts: 792 Joined: 2009-12-06 @ 07:11.

And this works correctly on Windows Dosbox with the real CD? If you use the same mountings (meaning that /War2 is both on windows dosbox and OSX at c:/war2) you can just copy a successfull install over.I doubt that is the problem but is your OSX case sensitive (by default it's not).Yes it works great on windows using the real cds (I've tested using both an old PC with Windows 95 and a new PC with DosBox for windows. As long as I'm using the actual cd, it works flawlessly).
I did try copying over an already installed copy. When I try to mount the image and run the pre-installed copy I get the following error message:'ERROR:Invalid data file version.press any key.' And pressing any key sends me to the command prompt again.As for OSX being case sensitive, it would prevent me from using the other two images correctly, so I don't think that's it. The more I look at that COPY:1 part of the installation error message, the more I think it's some sort of obscure cd copy protection. Newbie Posts: 8 Joined: 2011-12-09 @ 19:33. Just to clarify, this 'COPY:1' error from the expansion installer, does it occur when using the image in both Windows and Mac versions of DOSBox? Also, some issues with IMGMOUNT have been fixed in SVN, so perhaps you could try an SVN build.Yes, using the image under either version of DosBox produces the same results.
The only way to make it work is to use the actual cd (which I can't do when using OSX for the reasons stated on previous posts).SVN build huh? I'll give that a shot, it might just work. Newbie Posts: 8 Joined: 2011-12-09 @ 19:33.
