Will somebody please give me an Amen? That would be great! Let's do that in English as well.
Exactly. I used several programs over the internet, especially some of the dosbox routines...Cubase wrote:Wow... okay, hold on... so these are working programs yes? You have packaged the 3 games into XP compatible installations right?
-Cub. =o)
I hope you understand that i can't upload 8 GB of copyrighted material into the net.
Overseer is both in english and german on the DVD (can be changed via the setup dialog). Moon is english with german subtitles (hasn't been released localized here in Germany), but you can easily exchange that by overwriting the inventory, menue structure and text files of the main directory with your english version (worked for me, at least). Pandora is completly in german (tex is dubbed by the german "magnum" *g*). Probably exchanging the files could help...
I've done Phantasmagoria Special Editions (both games on one DVD with trailers and a making of playing in the DVD player), a special Dos Collection (with about 100+ old dos classics runing with dosbox routines), a 16 GB Sierra collection (i use UniSCI to get multiple CD games like Phantasmagoria running directly from hard drive or DVD, then i replace the crappy Sierra setup routines) or a LucasArts Collection DVD (which actually just uses ScummVM in the background, but that works great enough)
With a little look around, there are so many tools to be found to get old dos games working. Just tweak a little bit, save all your configs into an installer or SFX and burn it to DVD for archiving. that's how i do it - the only thing that is important for me, that the finished product is a plug-and-play experience: A Windows Setup installer with icons you just have to click to play ... and no more fuss about it...
