Well scratch FS2, i cant even reinstall the thing now since i cant trust no one around the house to put the CD back when they are supposed to as not to scratch the bloody thing :mad:

As for Descent Freespace, how do i get it to run in Windows98 mode?  Cause im running Windows XP, which in my opinion is a POS

create a shortcut to it, then right-click the shortcut then click properties. Then the compatibility tab.

Either the HoTU version, in Karajorma's FAQ, or head to game-warden.com and find all three ISO's uploaded for use... I'd reccomend the ISO's, since they have everything...

If you've already got it installed, just run the SCP.  Getting the ISO's is probably a good idea for backup or whatever, but the SCP serves the same function as a crack as you don't need the CD's to play it.
who needs a signature? ;)

FS2 is three CD's, and if you download the ISO's, you can burn them to blank cd's, and have fully functional copies with minimal work...

Problem is that MatthewPapa isn't hosting the download on GW for the time being due to the massive bandwidth drain he got when someone posted the address on the somethingawful.com forums.

If you have BitTorrent you can always get it here

Its a program to run ISO's, instead of having to actually burn them to a CD... Raa can probably link to it... It emulates a CD drive apparently, and makes things like even CD switching quick and painless...

Lets you mount the isos as virtual drives.

It's probably better to just burn them, so you still have the ISOs, but you can remove them from the hard drive.

All the SCP is designed to be installed from the hard drive to the hard drive so there should be no problem with running it from the HD.

they should all be less than 600mb, so a 700mb CD will be fine for each...
