Mount lines look good, but: says : 'read error'
Probably a faulty CD.
Test your CD by copying the CD or creating an image from it.

BTW, is it an original CD?

Sorry i didn't clarify the Cdrom's nature: it's not an original but it's an Iso image (.cue) that I launch with "Daemon tools" who mount a virtual disc (F:\).

I found Gender wars "full cd" on http:// <snip> NOT allowed to post such links, read teh RuLeZ please. ~dosraider

Thanks for your help.

They have a forum, why don't you ask there? After all it's their game I suppose they know how to run the game?

BTW, I would advise NOT using deamon tools with that kind of image, but mounting it directly in dosbox with the imgmount command.

Syntax:
imgmount d x:\path\name.cue -t iso

It can of course be that their image is corrupted in some way, the only thing I can say for sure is that the original Gender Wars (I have it) runs fine in dosbox 0.72.
