You'll need to create a Saves directory - do that from the main icon menu. Many thanks, Paul, and also for letting me know you are now happily playing the game! InstallingĬopy everything out of the archive onto your hard disc, and play from there. I would probably suggest storing it in the same directory as !DuneII. If you have opened the archive up, then by default it'll try to write to that archive, so double-click on it (once extracted) to reset it to the place you extracted it to. It's only been ~20 years that I uploaded it! Anyway, I was able to create a new one, which you can download here:Įxtract this to a writeable area on the hard drive.

This version has only really been tested on a StrongARM RiscPC, but the code has not changed since the last CD patch (with the exception of the CD protection code removed).

If you have 8MBytes or more, then music should be available. It has had all patches applied to it (StrongARM, RiscPC sound), and is the latest version of the code. The only things removed from this are the introduction, and the off-game music player. This contains pretty much all of the CD version of the Acorn Dune II. If Westwood want me to remove this, then I'll be happy to. Since there are many sites around where you can easily download the PC version of Dune II, I have decided to release the Acorn version. If you do not have an Acorn-based machine, then it will not workĪfter attempting to contact Westwood studios regarding this, I have not had a response back from them.
