Essential improvements

Disc swapping can be eliminated by combining the data files from both discs into one folder. Once this is done, simply press enter whenever the swapping prompt appears.

Eliminate CD-ROM swapping
  1. Change the value Data Drive in the game's registry to point to the location where you installed the game.
  2. Copy data from CD1 to the game folder.
  3. Copy data from CD2 to the same location (overwrite or skip index.mdi since it is identical).
