Re: A question on DM2
CSBWin uses the Atari version of DM/CSB. DM2 came out on PC, not Atari, so that's probably why it's not available through CSBWin.

Re: A question on DM2
As Ameena says, DM2 is a different engine, released several years after DM/CSB. CSBWin is based on the original Atari ST CSB engine, and it's not something one could simply "add" DM2 to.
I think various fans have done work on getting DM2 to work on modern systems though. Search the DM2 forums for more.

Re: A question on DM2
I think the best way to run DM2 on modern computer is to use the original installation file with DOSBOX.
I'm currently trying to setup a launchable DM2 game as easy as possible, I think I almost succeed, I just need to click on a shortcult for launch DOSBOX in a combinaison with DM2 game automatically.
My goal is to get a folder containing all necessary files for run DM2 without external program or ressource for be able to run the game directly without any installation process from a USB key for example.
I found the game a bit too fast but it is playable. I'm really a novice with DOSBOX and I have not explored all the options offered by this program.
I will go do DM2 section forum, I will surely found useful information for help me.

Re: A question on DM2
I have found more that expected on the DM2 section, a pre-configured DosBox packages with DM2.
I downloaded it and it works perfectly, I no longer need to work on my own DM2 setup with DOSBOX.
Many thanks.

Re: A question on DM2
RTC comes with 2 versions of Dungeon Master, Chaos Strikes Back and Dungeon Master 2. Why not try it?
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
