Original Poster: kulmegil Post Date: Actually it can be transformed into DVD, but it's a bit tricky, but comparing to some games not that much. Just finding the way was. My debut in converting CD->DVD.

It's the second conv. Ever made and first time I found my own way. But I hope you'll like it. Because we will include patch and crack already on DVD.

Battle for Dune can be transformed into DVD, but it's a bit tricky, but comparing to some games not that much. Just finding the way was.

Enough talk, let's start the action. 1) Get: - your 4CD copy of the game of course - v1.09 patch - v1.09 NoCD Executable () - some hex editor (WinHex) 2) Install the game (only game without the online crap), patch it and crack you can run it to see if it's working 100% ok, but it will create some files (logs or other) that we don't want on our DVD 3) Create 3 following directories: CD2 CD3 CD4.and copy DIALOG.BAG, MOVIES0001.RFD, MOVIES0001.RFH, MUSIC.BAG from: CD#2 to: CD2 CD#3 to: CD3 CD#4 to: CD4 4) if you haven't replaced the RESOURCE.CFG file with the one from the crack archive do it now 5) Create some for install files. Copy the full contents of CD#1 there, except for INSTALL subdirectory. 6) Now, create INSTALL directory and copy the full contents of there. 7) (optionally) Let's cut out some crap: Delete INSTALL DATA MOVIES LEGALS.BIK and annoying EA & Westwood logos won't show up on every startup (you can't cancel them). Also you can delete all DXSETUP files except for setup.exe & dsetup.dll (or game setup won't start) 8) Game installer at the end of his work is doing something very evil - it edits 'RESOURCE.CFG'** Now you'll need hex editor, at least for the first job. Edit Setup setup.exe find and replace 'RESOURCE.CFG' with zeros* edit Setup setup.ini and change 'Version' from '1.0' to '1.09' (optional) edit Setup FileSize.ini and remove [CabFiles] NumFiles=1 Cab0=Game1.cab 9) Done - make ISO labeled 'EMPEROR1', test it & burn!

* We don't want it - since we are installing all the movies, music and dialogs already. Besides the edited values are bad.

What works • Installing • Playing What does not • The textures are black unless you run the game with 'wine Emperor.exe -C' • Scrolling the map is unusually fast. But you can decrease the scroll speed in the options.

Workarounds What was not tested • Only played the tutorial so far. Hardware tested Graphics: • GPU: • Driver: Additional Comments When the game looks for the CD just remove all CDROM drives from winecfg and start the game again. When it does not find the CD again wine will create a new CDROM drive letter.

This is the one which will work. But you may have to change the path in resource.cfg (in the game directory). How to run the game You need to run the game with the -C command line switch, like 'wine emperor.exe -C'. Cypress At2lp Rc42 Software Engineer more. Problems installing from CD? This is howto for people who can't install Emperor directly form CD.

1) First of all visit website Dune2k.com and download Install patch for Emperor. 2) Coppy your Setup folder from the cd. Replace the Setup.exe with exe from the patch. 3) Run Setup.exe through terminal. Mta Roleplay Gamenode Download Google. It should be displaying: enter the cd to the drive. 4) Don't close message from your install.

Run another terminal and enter wincfg. When you are in it, click on 'Drives' button and create drive with D letter, set it as CD-ROM. Set path to this drive as /media/Emperor1/ (or whatever path you have to your CD-ROM). And apply changes.

Don't close winecfg! 5) Switch to the installation and click ok on the 'Insert cd' message. It should disappear and installation should began.

6) When you are going to play, enter the Emperor's folder and replace Emperor.exe with the same exe from patch. Hi there I know it's an oldie:) but I wrote a quick bash script to automate loading of cd-s from iso files.
