    Hi, I am a beginner, I red README but I cannot find how I can create RAW file to mount.
    If I create .ZIP files of a folder containing files, it doesn't work. But when it opens menu if I manually select the same zip file, it works.

    If you are able to upload the zip file via the pop-up menu then it should work when configured by the params as the functionality is the same.

    There are 2 ways to configure zip files

    <input id="autorun" type="hidden" value="“descent.zip" -t="" zip="" !c:!cd="" descent!DCNTSHR.EXE"="">

    or

    <input id="autorun" type="hidden" value="descent.zip !c:!DCNTSHR.EXE">

    The first option loads the files as if on a read-only drive.
    The second option is read/write but can be a bit buggy.

    To create a raw image you can use the tools in qemu (qemu-img) or bochs.
    Alternatively grap a pre-formatted dos image from: https://pandorawiki.org/QEMU
    and search for Premade Images on page

    you can use the original dosbox and add files to the raw image file.
    mount c “c:\games”
    imgmount d c:\rawimage.img

    then copy files from c to d
