Is it possible to show DISK number in behind "Please insert disk" dialog ?

Yes.

[Smurf Stomper]

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.

[pakrat2k2]

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.

[Smurf Stomper]

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

[PenaPP]

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