Description
For some reason in Dosbox-core, Dosbox-svn and Dosbox-pure all dont work properly with the bluray drive installed in my pc.
I type this in Dosbox (all versions) command to show what the drive is reported as:
mount -cd
But it responds with:
CDROMS found: -1
However, the drive is detected properly in the standalone Dosbox. It correctly says:
CDROMs found: 1
0. D:\
I can mount the drive in all the Dosbox versions but it says:
MSCDEX: Mounted subdirectory: Limited support
Except the standalone Dosbox, that one loads MSCDEX fine.
Is there a setting in Retroarach interfering with the drive detection?
Specs:
Windows 10
i7 3770
16GB ram
GTX1070
Bluray drive HP DH12E3SHB
Retroarch 1.9.7

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on Windows 10 with the Dosbox-core, Dosbox-svn, and Dosbox-pure versions using the mount -cd command, then compare their output with standalone Dosbox. Done means the Blu-ray drive is reported correctly and MSCDEX mounts it without the limited-support message.
