Hi, sorry if this has been posted before (though I don't think it has) but I'm trying to run JA1 on Linux (Mint 8, to be precise). I installed it using Wine and tried to run it with native DosBox (doing all the appropriate procedures, including "imgmount" of the JA1.gog file), but when I start it up I get a message like: "Error: Problem reading cdrom. Please check"
Any help on the matter will be appreciated
Edit: I just tried JA:DG and it works fine

Thats a tricky one for linux ... for windows if you change the cd.rom file with the drive letter your install is on it would work ... but because linux is usually /cdrom or similar the game wouldn't read that .... Glad you found your way :)

try mounting the inst file if present.
be sure to check its contents first regarding case sensitive filenames

To get it to work, I had to change the imgmount line in dosboxjadg.conf to the following:

imgmount d jadg.gog -t iso -fs iso

I can now start it with

dosbox -conf dosboxjadg.conf

$ grep imgmount dosboxja.conf
imgmount d "./JA1.gog" -t iso -fs iso
