THANKS mviking...
work 100%....

Yes.

Pakrat:

So, the only .DAT files used for an english installation of the game are

DS2DAT2.DAT
DS2DAT3.DAT
DS2DAT4.DAT
DS2DAT5.DAT

I can remove the other .DAT files and not encounter issues on an english install? Would be nice to just have a single dvd9 of this game...

I'm using the EN/FR version of it, btw.

make a dummy file for whatever dat files your not using. Either that or edit the installer
and remove the references to other language from it.

Attached is an alternate dvd icon and autorun picture, since the stock ones were kinda boring IMO.

Thx mviking for 3xDVD5 :)

Smurf Stomper: Maybe I did some mistake, but your version doesn't work to me :confused:

GODZYLLA conversion worked 100%. :)

Thanks Mviking :)
Works perfectly XP SP 3

work with window 7 (64bit) thank you :)
