How can you install without running the installer ? (and the file is only 10k) You can also remove regedit.exe progman.exe and progman.ini Then change in system.ini: shell=runexit.exe This would save you another 150kb and you can run your game with: win c:\path\game.exe 😁

@ripsaw: Thanks, your patch works like a dream (as always). That assembly path is slow.. but I'm learning. @jmarsh: I'm keeping an eye out for other games as well.

This is kind of a YMMV approach to running applications. Some things may require additional features which I removed. For example, I found that Civilization for Windows required that I add back "COMMDLG.DLL". ..... Yeah I ran into that problem and copied the file, what I was wondering is I have a " …

I patched out the drive variable, it will just look for 'config.bxt'. Dont know if it will work for you. But I do not get the config error now. I could not get both programs to run, but they do the same now afaict. Good luck! Edit: Will he ever come back, starting suspense drum-roll 😁 ......

That's great, lets hope they fix it. In the end all we have is dosbox, so better tackle those problems now 😁 Anyone have an idea where to post this issue ? I have a feeling its not going to get picked up from here.

Yeah that was also a big problem, multiple versions, 5.25, 3.5 and cd-rom, not to mention regional differences. US version of the game, ahh too bad, thats what bit action replay/game shark too. The above games however had multiple checks put in deliberately by the programmers. So they'd crack only …

Before Rawcopy, Locksmith and Nevlock I used DAP and Crock. Good times. Some of them contain real bad cracks, you start playing and half-way get hit by a nice dos-prompt, or you fall through floors, that happened to me while playing flashback. Wizardry 7 helps you with zero damage in melee battles, …

How about that ... I've never seen those dual drives. Can you insert two floppies at the same time ? Or do you switch between them ?
