TTDPatch + DOS CD
Posted: 03 Aug 2012 08:00
Nothing like a new game to make a frequent poster feel like a newbie again. (Discovered loco first, then TTD.)
Anyway, here's my issue.
I installed TTD for DOS onto my WinXP, figuring that I could find a way around it. However, I discovered that it requires TTDPatch to run on XP or higher. I installed it (v2.5 beta 9) and found that it has its own TTD installation included. To be safe, I reinstalled the one from my disk to the same folder as the Patch, and reinstalled TTDPatch too (so as to overwrite any files that it replaces).
But it failed to work, saying that it is unable to access the CD. I found a topic for almost this exact situation, but it left me with more questions than I began with.
My biggest question is if all of this is in vain. Will it actually operate under any circumstances with a DOS CD?
