Essential improvements
Minimise CD-ROM swapping
The original game comes on four CD-ROM's. Disk swapping can be minimised or even avoided if you have multiple CD-ROM drives available by putting the games CD-ROM's in different drives, assuming that each drive will get a separate drive letter.
| Use DOSBox |
|---|
|
Notes With DOSBox you can IMGMOUNT each CD-ROM image onto a different virtual CD-ROM drive by adding lines similar to these to your dosbox config: [autoexec] MOUNT C "11H" IMGMOUNT D "11H/CD/11th_Hour_CD1.iso" -t iso IMGMOUNT E "11H/CD/11th_Hour_CD2.iso" -t iso IMGMOUNT F "11H/CD/11th_Hour_CD3.iso" -t iso IMGMOUNT G "11H/CD/11th_Hour_CD4.iso" -t iso C: call GO.BAT |
