How to setup a cdrom drive in Wine

rated 0 times [ 10] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 33152 / 2 Years ago, sat, april 9, 2022, 9:12:39

Okay, so I installed Wine, and installed the first StarCraft, but when I try to run it, it tells me that the cd isn't in the cdrom drive (but it's already in there) and asks me to insert it.
So, I did some searching, and I found out that I need to setup a cdrom drive in Wine, but when I autodetect for drives, it doesn't find the cdrom drive (it does show drive D, but it doesn't say that it's a cdrom drive). So, does anyone know how I can find/setup a cdrom drive? Thanks!

Set wine to see /media/wincd as its cd drive then with the iso file in you home folder run in terminal:

sudo mkdir /media/wincd

sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 $HOME/mygame.iso /media/wincd

sudo ln -s $HOME/mygame.iso $HOME/.wine/dosdevices/d::

The mkdir command ensures the /media/wincd folder is present to mount the iso.

Change mygame.iso to the name of your iso file.

Change d:: at the end of the second command to a different letter with two colons if the cd is not drive d.
