My DOSBox Red Alert Scripts

[Dušan Xmetov]

Ok people, today i was pretty much bored, so i wrote a bunch of Scripts so other people don't have to .

 

All of these Scripts work, i tested them.

 

You may need to modify them, depending on your system

 

These scripts are to mount Red Alert CDs and Launch Red Alert:

echo An unknown Disk detected in Drive D:
goto Game

So, um... what's stopping you from mounting ALL isos before starting the game? Or does DOS RA only see the first CDROM?

[Dušan Xmetov]

I'm not sure, but i think it only see's the 1st one.
