Multiple game CDs to 1 DVD guide?

[reddragon105]

sounds like you're refering specifically to Emperor: Battle for Dune then

it may not be possible in this case, as there is 1 install CD for this game, and the other 3 CDs are for the 3 houses, Atreides, Harkonnen and Ordos.

obviously, each house has their own movies on their own CD. obviously the first movie file is called MOVIES0001.RFD for each house. the file sizes are different because they are different movies. putting a second or third of these files into the same folder would overwrite the file already there, so you would end up with only one movie for one house, and that same movie would play for every house (so the Atreides movie would play for the Harkonnen and Ordos houses too, not good)

if you renamed the files, the game will not be able to find them, so without extensive reprogramming of the game, you cant put this one onto DVD

So, i'm totally out of luck. I thought the same thing. but i wonder if i could find a batch file or something to edit in order to rename in a proper way the movie files... do you think it is possible, reddragon105?

Well guys,

The only solution to my problem seems to be the old way... I managed to workaround, but not the way i expected (or desired):

1. create images w/ alcohol 120%, using .bin and .cue images (had no success using the native .mds, .mdf);
2. create a virtual drive w/ Daemon Tools, mount the images, and;
3. patch the game to version 1.08 and apply the 1.09 no-cd fix - read the instructions (at this point y r not able to play without the original CDs nor the DVD w/ the images yet);
4. Now make 3 new folders and name them "CD2" "CD3" and "CD4" then copy CD2 into CD2 etc.
5. now you can play without the CDs (or DVD).
6. since the job is done and worked well, you can now COPY the images (w/ the patch and the no-cd, for convenience) to a DVD. Do not BURN the images, just create a data DVD and copy the files!

Hi Kyle2k,

Yeah, yeah, I was a bit afraid of telling you this method, thinking you might say it's lame... Well, but it, at least, works!
