... I don't suppose you know how to do that for games like, oh, Torrin's Passage? :)

If you insist... here: Torin's Passage for DOSBox installer.

Not yet! I have saved it. And since I dug out my GK1 the other day - I have to return to my closet bins and now dig out Torrin's Passage! :) But you can bet I will if I can play it without the damn cd!

Okay, I finally dug out my Torrin's Passage - ran the file (from this thread) - and it ran the install. But it doesn't work. All it does is create a short cut to DOSBox and another short cut to TORIN'S PASSAGE - both of which just open DOSBox. (And yes, had the CD in the CD Drive!)

However, I have two CDROM drives - and it was in E: not D: - does that make a difference?

Testing it now. And yup, looks like it's because it wasn't in D:... doing a lot more on the install now. Will let ya know when it's done! This makes me very happy!

I can not say in enough words how happy I am to be playing Torin's sans the CD...

I think this is the solution to these classics. Make it as painless for the players to get them up and running easily.

Almost all of the single CD SCI games.
