WOW so frustrating, through those links you can go to a rapid share where i spent ALL day downloading this game. There's a password on the damn archive and i can't seem to find where it is posted, this is so frustrating i hope someone knows what it is!

I downloaded all the files and tried to unpack them, but the volumes of the folders all had the same name, so the old files were just overwritten. Anybody knows what I could do?

Thanks,
Gordon

Thanks,
Gordonyes, they're all supposed to "extract to same file". this is a split archived file. you just open one the first part and select extract all

in the end you'll have files
AD.cue (second part of image file)
AD.bin.ecm (packed image data)
unecm.exe (utility for unpacking the packed image data)

now the image file is compressed with ecm. it needs to be unpacked from ad.bin.ecm by typing "unecm AD.bin.ecm", that's all


also, there is no password, Cypher Dasarian III. i don't know what you're talking about...

He followed the link to ISO Art and downloaded from rapidshare, the password is "ampee".

.. and now I have a 750MB ad.bin data. But what to do with it? Sorry for stupid questions, but I am very new on this site. :dunno:

You either burn a CD from the image (not burn the file on a CD as data, that's a different thing) or - preferably - mount it with a virtual drive so that your system reads the contents of the image as if they were on a CD drive.

Obviously, you need a special program for that.

Personally, I like Virtual Clone Drive for its' relative simplicity and ease of use.
Alcohol 52% supports more formats (like the somewhat popular MDF/MDS) but is slightly more complex.
Which of these two you pick is entirely up to you. :)

It's a DOS game. I installed the game on DOSBox, use IMGMOUNT to mount the cd-image.

Thank you- I installed virtual clonedrive and used this little gimmick "nolfb.com". So I can play AD with Windows XP in high resolution.:3:

well.. i don't know how the person who created the archive for the first time managed to magically pack it into 750 MB. i just re-packed it with normal winrar, without any annoying unecm, into 568 MB

so please add this link

you can just make a shortcut to the "unecm.exe" and add "AD.bin.ecm" after the filepath so it looks like "I:\CD-IMAGES\ADYN\unecm.exe AD.bin.ecm" for example... that way it works

[Sammetry]

Thanks for the help and the directions guys. Without installing any unnecessary programs, the shortcut trick extracted the game, and now I can't wait to play it.

Best adventure game ever.
