Ripped the CD again, copied it again to QEmu machine (took an eternity), mounted it with D-Tools (this time without problems), installed it, started the game and... I only get a black screen. The game doesn't run (at least the version I have). I have to switch to qemu console, send a...

Installed using the "Upgrade Pandora OS" option, and everything perfect. The best enhancement I have found since the upgrade is that my 1st order Pandora boots way faster than with v1.54!!! Great work!!!

Floppy drive and power management controller errors persists, but IDE controller errors disappeared and I have enabled DMA without problems. Thanks!

The indexes in my CUE file are right, because I have used one file for each track (instead of a single BIN file for the entire disc). It looks like D-Tools don't support ISO+WAV CUE files. I originally ripped the CD to a CUE+BIN file (and it looked exactly like the one you posted, including...

Is it possible to fix these errors? (sorry about text in Spanish): The first erroneous one, in English should be something like "IDE (dual FIFO) primary controller". The second: "Standard floppy drive controller". The third one is already in english  ;) . I have installed the recommended...

It has no protection, it's a very old game. I want the CD version because it has way better music. Do you have a cue sheet from a game with data + CD audio tracks? If you have it, could you post it here for reference? I'm almost sure I will end playing AitD using DosBox (it runs perfect in it)...

I was finally able to install Daemon Tools. I started a fresh install using my PC, got D-Tools working and then transferred the file to my Pandora. D-Tools works and is able to mount ISO files, but when I try to mount the .CUE file of AitD, I got the following error: "Unable to mount image. Cue...

That's exactly what I did, I copied it to the internal disk and installed from there. Also tried installing it with and without CDROM driver. I'll try the scandisk stuff, and also not mounting the shared folder.

Getting Daemon Tools 3.47 to install is being a real PAIN IN THE ASS. First it requested me to install Microsoft USB Support. Then it asked for Internet Explorer 4. This took more than two hours to install on my Pandora. Then it wanted to install Microsoft Installer 2.0. And not it refuses to...

Copying files from the mounted folder to the disk under QEMU is PAINFULLY SLOW!!! Is there a way of doing it faster? It is taking around 6 minutes to copy a 50 MiB file...

I think @mamemaniac is right, when using QEMU, you need Windows + Daemon tools if you want to run CD-ROM games with music in CD-AUDIO format. QEMU can emulate CD-ROMs by mounting ISO files, but AFAIK, it cannot mount BIN+CUE images, needed for multitrack data+audio CD-ROMs. It could work if...

I'm a bit confused. The QEMU compatibility list here says Alone in the Dark runs slow... It runs perfect on DosBox. I'm trying to instal W95 OSR2 rigth now, but I have lot to read...

Thanks a lot for feedback and suggestions! I installed DBoxFE and made a crappy test: Fired AitD and timed the game intro (from when Carnby drives to Dercetto to the moment he appears in the attic). The results: - DosBoxEX: 2:21:05 - DosBoxFE: 2:22:64 1,5 s difference in favor of DosBoxEX...

Are you serious about playable Half Life and Diablo II??? Really x86 emulation is that fast??? This could be the next big thing for Pandora!!!

I have never used DosBox emulators on my 1st batch Pandora more than a few minutes. In the past I used DosBox with DboxFE (I'll call it DosBox FE for short from now on) to test how Prince of Persia ran, and that's all. Now I want to play Alone in the Dark, so I installed the newer DosBox EX v10...

Ops, started playing and although MP3 version mounts and the game starts, CD music doesn't play. I had to revert to WAV version...

Finally I figured out what the problem was. I used bchunk to extract the data and audio tracks from the bin/cue image. Then tried playing the .wav files and noticed the same extreme noise I heard in the game. Then tried again extracting data with bchunk using '-s' switch for it to swap byte...

I'm using DosBox EX v10 to try playing Alone in the Dark CD version (with CD AUDIO tracks). Following suggestions in the DosBox wiki I ripped my AitD CD to BIN+CUE files, copied it to my pandora, fired DosBox and mounted the image using imgmount: IMGMOUNT D ALONECD.CUE -t iso The CD image was...

I have tested it right now. Ogg music rocks. Game works well, but with some hitches (could it be because of the ogg music?). Definitely a good port to play. Thanks!
