Trying to mount an image using OSFMount, will write doc for you on this if it helps others

[Bob Gaydos]

Hi @felixrieseberg -

This is really a great thing you're doing, first off, considering how difficult it is to configure a Win95 VM with working 256-color display drivers. I'm running Windows 10 and have your app running in 256-color mode.

I have seen your recommendation to use OSFMount to mount an .img file but can't find much in the OSF doc to help me understand how OSF works with your app.

I have created a .img of Microsoft's Music Central 96 CD-ROM. What's the best way to mount this so it's accessible to your app? I've tried a number of different things with OSF, also tried mounting as a floppy in your app's Settings and booting from scratch.

If you can give me some help, I would gladly document how to do this as I suspect others may want to use legacy CD-ROM images in your Win95 app.

Thanks for your time and again I appreciate all the work you and others have done to get this very easy-to-use version of Win95 to the open-source community.

Thanks,
Bob

OSFMount does not work in tandem with the app, it's just used to access the contents of the image from your OS.

The workaround I found for using CDs was to copy the contents directly into the OS image and execute from there. The issues I have with that are that the foles do not appear unless you pass a ScanDisk or hard reboot the app, whatever installation I do seems to just vanish by the next time I open the app (even without rebooting it), and any file I create in the app only exists until reboot and for some reason isn't saved into the image, so I cannot recover them.
