I was chatting with a guy called Meddle on another forim about getting this game running on Win7.
He suggested using a custom dosbox file.
==========================================================================================
His ORIGINAL POST:
You can try this dosbox configuration that Molitor made awhile back for Crusaders: Adventure Out of Time. Its got Windows3.1 installed on it. I did a bit of finagling with it to get a cdrom driver installed. Of course you might have to do more finagling to get Johnny Mnemonic to work but it's worth a shot. No password on the archive and it's only about 10 MB.

Re: Johnny Mnemonic install on win7/xp
I managed to get it to work by changing one word in dosbox.conf from,
imgmount D nuovo.cue -t iso
to
imgmount D DRZ-JNM1.cue -t iso
I put the bin +cue in "discs" folder of win31.
Before hand i ran the quicktime install from inside dosbox .
The game loads and an options screen pops up where u can change your keyboard controls and choose bigger screen.
I am surprised it was so easy 😁
So all thanks to Meddle AND Molitor ! ,for their great work . :thanks:
EDIT UPDATE::::::
BAD NEWS!
I started the game as i said before ,and after adjusting my game settings in options box that pops up.
I clicked on "NEW" to start the game and a girl on the screen says "Please insert other disc"
So i went to dosbox.conf and changed it to the name of disc 2 and restarted the game.
The girl says again"please insert other disc",the same thing as with disc 1.
So is there a solution to this?
Could it be to do with some oldskool protection?
I didn't know vogons can help with windows games too(not just dos games)
Any help from someone more knowledgeable than i am would be appreciated,thanks.
It did seem to work a bit too easy at the beginning!
update::
Using Poweriso i copyed the large file file from cd2 ,"MNEMONIC.CIN" into cd1 ,and made sure dosbox.cong refers to cd1 and now the game seems to start and run ok!
The disc2 has two MNEMONIC.CIN files?!!
I don't know how thats possible,but obviously i couldn't copy both,so i took the large one and out that into cd1.
