Simon Fan, Probably the best way to get an answer would be to start with a new thread, appropriately titled, in the right forum.

It says that I should alter the name of the file cd.rom to make the game work. But what shall I write if I have put the game on the C-drive under C:Games?? lease help, because I really want to play this great game.

yea seriously you change cd.rom to c.rom? i mean, it isn't working, could someone be more specific

I have the same problem.can somebody please explain exactly what one has to do with the CD.ROM file ?
i would be like this:

Man, what a game!!!

I already own this own, as the original JA...but maybe I'll download it anyway, 'cause here in Italy the in-game text was fully translated in a very BAD way (and they did a just slightly better job with the allmighty JA2...)...luckyly, the awesome speech files are there (are there in this download too? :whistle: )!

The only thing which hurts the title a little is the lack of a complex "strategy mode" like the one in the previous episode, but since it was more of a cadeau than a real sequel, well, that's no big complain I guess.
Anyway, that's too bad, since without a full tactical campaign there's less time and occasion to put the less talented members of the roster to good use...and the top dogs are available from day 1, so crap mercs are not needed anyway. (oh, yeah...cannon fodder!) .
A shame, since the roster of this ep is the best ever (I just love not-yet-psycho-Buzz, Mouse, Leon Roachburn, not to mension all the losers from the previous ep...), and it was quite funny making the underdogs *almost* in the same league as Magic, Kelly and the rest of the cream.
But they still are a great fun even just to keep there and see what their lines are (the "touch other merc" speeches are the top! )

One of the best series ever: too bad here in Italy it was very difficult to get AND the lousy job done at translating JA2 prevents you to apply official patches and mods designed for other series.
I'll have to buy JA2 Gold for that...with a credit card and overseas shipping, of course. :angry:

Could anyone be more specific on what to name the rom file?

To change the cd rom file, open it with notepad, and you will see the letter "D" there, just change this to "C" (then close notepad/save the change) and the game works .... k:

Great game but I still think the 1st one is best, perhaps even better than UFO!! (XCom 1)

Does the sound work only in Dos box?

Btw I just downloaded Twilight 2000 from the underdogs, any opinions on it ?

Well, I edit the cd.rom file and change D to C
Then run dosbox with the game directory mount to C:
So when I am C:\> there are the datafiles there
I run dg.exe and it's asking for the cdrom

I am running linux but I don't thing it has something to do with this.
plz help

mine runs fine in win xp but with no sound, I only done what I typed above, but thought it would help to clarify what to do

but..... I would love the sound too .... I ran audio setup , but, alas , not even a squeak! :not_ok:

anybody got any ideas?

(my pc (400mhz!)locks when I run it in dosbox) :ranting: :not_ok: :help:

I still think the fist Ja game is the best
