Status : Offline | Saturday has been "re-install old games day". I'm up to Obsidian. I am trying to full install it by hand, which looks like it should be simple - each of the 5 disks has one big file - but it still asks for discs etc., and I don't see any config type files or registry entries to fiddle with. The CDR really winds up [it accesses very large files I guess] which is loud and distracting.
Anyone have luck "taming" this one?
EDIT - have it.. got a file from Vogons that patches the CD exe to run off a dvd instead of the 5 CD's
Copied contents off all CD's into temp folder
Made iso using Free ISO Creator, making sure to rename the lable to OBSIDIAN [default is "new"]
Mount iso, install, play..
Free ISO Creator only lets you use it about 10 times until it starts asking for a registration number. It directs you to their site where you log on, and if you don't pay for the upgrade, you need to solve a stupid math question to release the code. I had to do it a bunch of times until it would accept one of my answers. But it works.
