Maybe I'll see you there if I ever figure it out. I'll start looking into the multiplayer stuff on your previous posts. I've had a few freeze-up and the FMVs look rough, but the latter is probably simply because of the age of the game. I've been lucky on RA2 and YR with your DDWrapper patch, it's mostly quite useful as long as I don't minimize opening back up doesn't work. ![]() I shall look through your old posts then, sorry, I was so intent upon getting my stuff working that I didn't read them very thoroughly. As I said in the thread over ad fed2k, the pack's somewhere in the open directory I occasionally dare call a website. Also, if you go with the Dynasty way (really worth it, trust me) you so specifically need the EU version. I got lucky and got a CD copy of the EU version, but the big box I got my hands on a while ago contained floppies (this is a game from 1993 after all), and hardly any PC nowadays even still has a drive for those. The fact they didn't bother with a patch version might be an indication that the CD installer might not work anymore either.Īs for Dune II. the game isn't easy to find at all. I don't know the specifics for Dune 2000 it's been ages since I installed it, but as far as I know, the game's what they call "true abandonware" no longer supported, sold or cared about by the company owning the copyright. So, yeah. C&C95, for example, is a 32-bit game (which runs fine on 64-bit machines) with a 16-bit CD installer (which doesn't even start on a 64-bit machine), so without some really specific tools to extract the installer archives, you won't even get to the game files. I kind of helped create buying the discs might get you karma points, but more often than not, especially on Win95 games, it won't get you a running game. ![]() I hang around in the CnCNet online lobby (well, the C&C1/RA1/D2K one) all the time. So, yeah, multiplayer is all taken care of. all C&C games, and Dune 2000, can still be played online the older ones on CnCNet, the newer ones (Generals and later) on C&C:Online So if I want to play C&C online, I assume the First Decade servers are long dead. As for Gruntmod's Dune 2000 installer, haven't tried it, but I assume it's just simply Install & Play. Well, Dune Dynasty is a little bit of work to set up, but I linked to a complete guide for that ( This is the original game files pack you need to get it running, btw). ![]() So I'm better off just downloading it from one of your links? I hope they're easy to use. It's a work of mercy, really, saving these games from Death by Obscurity. Honestly, offering working downloads for these games has become more akin to archaeology than to piracy. I guess that clearly the distributors are aware of the fan-communities and stuff though, with how long they've been going on.
