I used to use DOSEMU a lot but like most people, I've moved to DOSBox now as it's easier to set up, more reliable and my machine is now more than fast enough. You may want to experiment with the configuration as this can make a big difference. Maybe your machine is just too old though!
My DOSEMU knowledge is very sketchy now but I don't recall ever having a problem with this. By default, it now seems to use /media/cdrom for drive E. This is more appropriate for a mounted physical CD though. All you need to do is mount the ISO somewhere beforehand and then use lredir once inside DOSEMU.
| Code: | Linux: mount -o loop /path/to/foo.iso /mnt/foo
DOSEMU: lredir F: linux\fs/mnt/foo c |
The c on the end tells it to treat this drive like a CD, which may be necessary for some games. This is not the lowest level access you can get so some games may still not work but lower level access requires SHSUCDX.EXE, which isn't packaged with DOSEMU. You'll need to get this from the full FreeDOS distribution. |
