how to make it work - No cd solution for 1.13 patch

Nothing that was written here helped me make the game run without cdrom with patch 1.13 (under dosbox, from windows 7). So here's what i did to make it work:

1. Make sure you have the archive of JA: DG and !NOT! the first JA. This file has around 8MB when archived with winrar. You don't need anything else.
2. Make sure you have extracted the JA: DG files in a folder (ex: d:\Games\JADG).
3. Into dosbox mount your game folder. Something like "mount d d:\games\JADG"
4. Run the micpatch.bat that copies some files from the "gus" folder into the "mic" folder
5. Run the DG113.exe patch file and overwrite anything specified.
6. Do a second mount like "mount e d:\games\JADG -t cdrom" (yes, the same folder!!)
7. Copy PROF.EDT from main folder (d:\games\jadg) into EDT subfolder (d:\games\jadg\edt) and overwrite if asked.
8. Under windows, edit the file "cd.rom" with notepad and write there "E:\". This must correspond to the drive into which you mounted at step 6.
9. Press CTRL+F4 in dosbox to refresh the cache and see the modifications done under windows.
10. Type "dg" under dosbox and play!

Anything else i've tried either made the game ask for a cdrom, or it worked but i couldn't play single player (only the multiplayer menu item was there).

And the version 1.13z gives to error with the file cd.rom
Sorry my English, I am of Spain
Fix 1.13 is necessary to fix Micky problem. (http://dlh.net/cgi-bin/patdl.cgi?lan...file=dg113.zip)
Fixing problem with cdrom is very simple if you are using dosbox:
1. Download image of a game cd (iso file). You can download it from here (Do Not Link to games that are Protected.)
2. Mount it with Deamon tools in your system. (lets say it will be drive E)
3. Mount it in your dosbox "mount e e:\"
4. Change the letter in cd.rom file to match appropriate letter (in this example E)
5. Start game in dosbox. Game should work fine.
