Dang, Luther Long Time No See...
I Really Really Need Help
I have a Windows Xp
Well it's a DOS game, so I tried DOSbox, but I don't think DOSbox supports .nrg files, since mine is "LOLG_CD1.nrg"
When I Try Virtual Computer, (Windows 98 SE) By first mounting the image on daemon Tools, then make (K:\LOLG_CD1[lands of lore]) So then it can act as a CD for Virtual.
I get to install a couple of stuff, but then when it says that the real instillation is starting, I get "Ran out of timers, please reboot and try again" I did but the problem Keeps coming back
Maybe it was the crossover from Daemon?
Or was it something i did in DOS?
Please Help!

Who the f*ck is Luther? Shifty

Wait a sec, why don't you mount the nrg (that's a NERO image) in Daemon, and mount the virtual CD drive in dosbox as CD?
The virtual drive from daemon mounts the same as a real CD drive in dosbox.

BTW :

Can't you slow down a bit? Yes?

First you say you have a NRG, then you say you have an ISO, what is it?
If NRG mount it in daemon and mount your daemon virtual drive as CDDrive D in dosbox.
If ISO mount that directly in dosbox as CDDrive D with imgmount.

Whatever it is, install from D on C
And use the freesize param when mounting your C, approx 700 will do fine.

BTW, if the original CD has audiotracks(so called mixed mode CD), forget that nrg2iso thing, it will be screwed up.

Well i have both
Whichever works easier will do
And really I mounted the iso with DOSbox
Works Fine, Freesize thing fixed it
Well now the sound is all choppy
Anything good for sound on old games?

For your sound probs:
read the sticky about dosbox and XP, all the correct settings and what to use as soundcard in your game setup is explained there.

Well Thanks
Finally
Get To Play Lol 2!
One more question
This has 4 Cd's
When i switch, do i just unmount the CD 1 and then mount CD2?

imgmount d x:\xx\namecd1.iso x:\xx\namecd2.iso x:\xx\namecd3.iso x:\xx\namecd4.iso -t iso
Switch the CDs whilst in dosbox when asked with CTRL+F4, this rotates the mounted CDs in dosbox.

You can write a batch with the ISOs mount line and store it as
LL2CDS.bat on your virtual C, launch dosbox and input ll2cds, this will automount all the CDs.
MUST:
-> Be stored as . bat on your virtual C:
-> saved as ANSI txt file.

The mounted CD will be listed in dosbox console -(that window behind the dosbox play window)-.

No need to say how shorter your path where the CDs are stored and how shorter their name how easier the mount is.
As your on XP C:\isos\LL2CD1.ISO and so on should work fine.
Or if you have partitions any other partition ......

Oooh So thats how you do it!
Im stupid, I was doing Stuff like
imgmount D C:\X\X\LOLG_CD1.iso -t iso
imgmount E C:\X\X\LOLG_CD2.iso -t iso
But its all in one line?
And how do you save the .bat file?

This is the old thread that I read that got me started on getting dosbox setup to run LOLG, but I don't have .nrg files on my dics. How did he get it working?
