You need to mount:
1)A virtual C
2)the CD as D in dosbox (or mount the ISO with imgmount as D , highly recommended)
Then install the game from D on C in dosbox
The game must be launched from C

Again, read the tutos PLEASE.

Don't think so, will most probably be AC97 soundchip, not that it matters, dosbox emulates a SB16/Pro/Awe almost perfectly.

OK, will do. I just didn't know it HAD to use DosBox, as I've burnt and run a lot of .iso's as if they were store-bought CDs and assumed this was the same. *sigh* Guess there's a LOT I just don't know...but WILL learn. Thanx a lot.

To update game (after it's installed of course!)

Extract the 2 files from the update
-> DISC104.EXE
-> UPDATE.BAT
In the dir where discworld is installed, if you accepted the install dir it will be in your virtual C folder named \DISCWLD.CD\
Run dosbox, get in the \discwld.cd\ dir, and input:
update c:
This will update the game, it will also launch soundset again, simply use autodetect for sound and music, works fine.

BTW, after the update you'll need to start a 'new' game. Old savegames aren't compatible with the updated game.

Discworld (1 and 2) is also supported by ScummVM natively in Linux, Windows and Mac.

Much easier to use than DosBox, as it acts as the game interpreter and uses all the game files without any configuration.

Thanks.

It looks to me like the 4Shared files in this thread might not work. I've tried unpacking and decoding them on both a Windows 10 and Windows 7 computer. But, whenever the ISO is created, I always get a "Corrupted File" error when opening it. I'm unpacking them in this order:

*.rar, *.r0, *.r1, *.r2.

So I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong, or if it's a modern Windows compatibility issue. Any ideas?

[zirkoni]

*.rar, *.r0, *.r1, *.r2 => split rar archive


Do you have all the files in the same folder? The *.rar file is the only file you should extract, the other files are automatically included in the process.
Also, what program did you use to extract? 7-Zip is a good choice...

[MartyD82]

I figured out what I was doing wrong. Apparently, Windows’ built in ISO utility wasn’t recognizing the raw img file I built. So I used ISOBuster to convert it into an iso, and then I was able to burn it to a CD.

Thanks for the update! Works perfectly.

Both Discworld and Discworld II isos are available at archive.org.
