Still cataloguing all my pira~Wabandonware. I thought maybe I had a good grasp of what I owned, I'd be less ridiculously decadent.

Found an old copy of Syndicate. It's not installed, it's .zips of the five floppies the game came in, and the installer refuses to work if it's not run from a disk with the correct label. Dosbox uses the labels of the drives it mounts from, and I didn't find a way to change that. Say hello to a 250 GB SDD named SYNDICATE 1, then SYNDICATE 2, SYNDICATE 3...

I don't remember VMs or emulators making me use this bit of silliness before.

<&ToxicFrog>
Kizor: mount it in dosbox with `mount [...] -t floppy -label SYNDICATE1` and so forth
02:14
<&ToxicFrog>
Alternately, generate floppy disk images and mount those

< Kizor>
Tried mounting the normal way, had an issue with that
02:33
< Kizor>
Granted, the issue was me being thick and not trying "s where "s were needed, but I still thought it was an amusing workaround.
