oh cheers, but i still have a problem, ok ill start from the start.
I have the DOS ver 1.1 of mechwarrior 2 i install it mounting c drive and d. everything runs normal except for a few errors but people have said just ignore them. anyway i applyed the no-cd patch it runes fine but when i go into Netmech dos it says "[lease insert the Mechwarrior 2 cd-rom" now i downloaded a .cue and .bin files. My quess is that i have a different version bin file that the cd i have. ok my question is how mound i go about making a .bin file i know how to make i .cue file i just need to know abount the .bin

Thanks,
Garcy

If anybody reads this thread still, thanks very much. I followed the instructions and have been really psyched with Mechwarrior 2, the reunion tour. It even plays well in 1024x768 although I haven't put the game through it's paces yet. Thanks to all who contributed.

Cheers

Nice one. Too bad that my Thinkpad X60s dies on DosBox+MW2 Mercs (I know this thread is specifically about MW2, not Mercs). Well, actually it's the display driver that dies, and with that whole of XP.

As I'm a SW tweaker by heart, I started examining the game with OllyDbg. After those examining sessions, I wrote few DLLs, and now I'm able to play MW2 Mercs v1.1 D3D on XP as a native app. I suspect that this solution should work with all games of the MW2-series.

I'm still having problems with the CD myself and the crank didn't work. So I'm back to the cd issue and i have my virtual cd mounted using daemon tools, and so i want to try to use the image mount program within dosbox, but i can't figure out how to use it and try it, any helo?

What kind of image do you have? How did you create it?
