[Wine] How do I get WINE to see a mounted disc image as a CD?
I prefer to run games that require CDs from image files, since it is faster and protects the life of my CDs. In windows, I would just mount the disc image and I could then play. But using Wine and Ubuntu, it appears to work differently. When installing a Windows CD using WINE under Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit, how should I go about mounting a disc image so it is seen by games running under WINE as a CD? Right now I am using ACETONEISO2 to mount the disc image. It was able to install from ISO just fine. But it doesn't see the mounted disc image as a CD.

It's on the drives tab; you have to click the "Show Advanced" button.

(I'm not sure if AcetoneISO actually emulates a drive, or if it just does a mount -o loop...) Gert
