Also, I guess there's a difference between a first person shooter and a point-and-click adventure like Sanitarium. |

I hope it keeps working; I've just arrived in Cloakwood. I've been trying to complete BG1 with mods installed for 10 years now, but I gave up. There was always something wrong somewhere, and I don't want to hit a snag (AGAIN) where I can't continue the game. If I do, I'll give it one more go, and install only the Baldurdash fixes. I've completed the game with them before. ========== Oh, and GOG and Beamdog have some sort of understanding. BG1, BG2, and IWD1 originals have been removed from GOG.com for separate sale. You can now only buy them by getting Beamdog's Enhanced versions. They include the originals, but the Enhanced versions are twice as expensive as the originals were. I find that a *very* sleazy move. This arrangement forces people to spend money on the Beamdog versions even if they don't want them. Maybe GOG.com arranged it that way with Beamdog. Maybe Beamdog now holds all the rights, even those to the original versions, and they have summoned GOG.com to remove the old versions. I don't know. I just don't like these kinds of practices. |

This right is complicated by the fact that 'downloading from an evidently illegal source' is now prohibited in the Netherlands, complying with EU guide rules. So, there's a problem with regard to the law. If you download a ROM from the internet, if it's an 'illegal source', are you providing your own copy/extraction of the physical ROM according to the law that you are allowed to have one, or are you breaking the law that says you can't download from an illegal source? Hmmm... Last edited by Katsunami; 01-05-2017 at 07:29 AM. |

Thanks. I may try this. I'd be happier if Nintendo would simply sell downloads of some of the old games for PC.
