Hi Guys,
I have the cd's for Diablo 1 and warcraft II but theyre mac/pc disks. I want to make a winewrapper for them but I need to have a windows only disk. Does anyone have any idea on how I can make a windows only copy of the disk?


I have tried going to windows and making an iso of the disk but that copied it exactly so on the mac side its still seen as a mac disk/iso.

You probably just need to go to a Windows system and copy all the installation files (i.e., the contents of the CD), rather than the entire CD.

For Warcraft II, I'd probably convert the CD to a bin/cue pair to use with DosBox (or Boxer).

For Diablo 1, I would think you could burn the Windows files to another CD for installation. Does Diablo 1 even go back to the CD after installation? (BTW, good luck with D1 under Wine. It seems like one has to jump through a few hoops to make it work.)

I got them to work.
Diablo does go back to the cd after install.
I was using the warcraft 2 battle.net edition so dosbox would not work.

There is an issue with diablo 1 menus though. They simply do not work. If you blindly go through them though you can get into the game and that works perfectly.

I will post steps of what I did later.

If you wish to use the command line, there is a utility that you can use to mount the DOS/Windows part of a hybrid CD. I think it's called 9660fs or something similar.
