vane112805yApparently one of disk is broken and I can’t copy it.
Well mission failed.
World doesn’t want me to play those games. -
vane112805y@jesustricks I found original dvd2 iso on some well known portal ( in my country ) so I will try once it finish download.
The story didn’t start long before I got the package since I waited 4 days for package to arrive from shop located 20km away on the other side of the same town.
Google estimated walking there will take 4 hours. I could continue this quest and demand refund but I paid around 10$ for 6 games
Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2 (2 not working)
Icewind dale 1 and 2
Planescape Torment ( not working)
Lionheart ( not working)
So I see no point to lose more time.
DVD I bought have no drm so I hope the one I’m downloading will work. -
vane112805yISO worked.
Quest complete 8h to be able to install and run game 4 days quest to buy and get it delivered in the same city using express delivery.
My patience is endless I didn’t got mad even once 😂

So I bought 2 dvd packed with old rpg games.
I didn’t know my first quest will be to get those games working.
To make my life more miserable I decided to convert those dvd to iso.
First I needed to find computer with dvd because those I use apparently don’t have dvd anymore.
Found one with windows 7 inside.
Yeah first mission complete.
Now just find dvd to iso software and burn those bastards.
I need to update date / time to be able to use internet over https.
Checked.
Started looking for the dvd to iso software. Microsoft answers giving links to bloatware with detailed instructions how to install desired things without crap. The link to download doesn’t work but at least I have the name ImgBurn.
They have website so I click on first mirror and run setup.
First fail they’re linking to bloatware that downloads another bloatware that installs some search plugin for firefox.
Uninstalling search plugin.
1 hour passed by.
Clicking last link. Success.
Now time to click it smart to omit any unwanted software and get only what I want. Reading trough install instructions and checking out not wanted checkboxes is like great quest.
Finally I have what I want and I can backup my dvd.
What a great evening.
