(For others who, like me, want to try this game out with the wheybags patch :)
Just for fun, I also dug up the past pirate releases:

I was surprised to see there is even an OST soundtrack! Amusing.
- safety1st 2y agoThe soundtrack for this game was badass, particularly the Harkonnen section. Easily one of Westwood's best. Here's a YouTube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1SUUkhKkXo&list=PL4E8A872850C1B3AB&index=27 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1SUUkhKkXo&list=PL4E8A87285...
- slavik81 2y agoWhen I think of Emperor: Battle for Dune, I hear "Ride the Worm" in my head. The music really sells the majesty of the armies battling in feudal war across a dangerous desert filled with behemoth creatures that could devour them all. https://youtu.be/czXaKxcQNkQ https://youtu.be/czXaKxcQNkQ
- petepete 2y agoThe soundtrack to Dune 1 was remastered and rereleased earlier this year, it's very good indeed. https://stphanepicq.bandcamp.com/album/dune-spice-opera-2024-remaster https://stphanepicq.bandcamp.com/album/dune-spice-opera-2024...
- sersi 2y agoThe soundtrack from dune 1 (and the game itself) was done by Cryo, completely different game studio. The game and soundtrack is amazing for sure though. In general all the soundtrack by Stephan Picq are worth listening to
- rob74 2y agoHm, I wonder if I can get it to run under Linux with Proton...
- capitainenemo 2y agoCouldn't find a proton entry, but this looks promising, given that proton was a fork of wine. https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1330 https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=applicatio...

- schlauerfox 2y agoPoint of law: in the united states, there is no such thing as abandonware legally, copyright is automatic and not selling it or maintaining one's copyright enforcement doesn't mean it is legal to make copies. This is pretty widely ignored, and there are ill defined exceptions to copyright defined by the library of congress. Internet culture seems to condone it for reasons of convenience and preservation, regardless of copyright holders rights. Seems to be an unsettled moral question to me, as copyright duration is so oppressive. Where did you find a list of Scene releases to generate that info?
- metadat 2y agoI spot checked the weird out-of-order date on the DEViANCE release, but it was roughly consistent with https://predb.net/ https://predb.net/. It seems thorough databases are not so exclusive these days, which is cool! Also, if you want to let the technicalities of copyright get in the way of you enjoying some solid abandonware, for a product which is no longer sold and unlikely to ever be sold again, that's on you. Live life on your own terms. Cheers!
- qwerty456127 2y agoHow do you mount cue+bin on Windows 10? There is quite a number of apps advertised for this but I'm curious which one is the most trustworthy nowadays, also if there is a legitimate (no adware/spyware/etc) free one to use when I need only one virtual drive, no burning nor network features.
- metadat 2y agoI think VirtualCloneDrive still works well for this!
- qwerty456127 2y agoApparently it is 32bit-only and doesn't support mds+mdf while I still have some and some games on Archive.org come in this format. As long as I install a virtual CD driver I would like it to support this format as well. But I am hesitating to install Alcohol 120% (which I used in the past) because it appears 32bit-only and comes with a cryptominer (openly) and a DRM of its own nowadays. I also used DaemonTools during the Windows 2000 days but stopped as I read they were first to integrate some shady bullshit in the free version too (now its free version apparently is adware). Another alternative seems to be WinCDEmu but it somehow seems to be 32bit-only too. Installing a 32bit driver on a 64bit system doesn't sound great.
