Trying to run game without cd-rom

Post by moedan999 »

Hello,

I am trying to run the game Oregon Trail II through Basilisk II on my MacBook Pro. I've gone through the whole process of creating the emulator and downloading the game to the hard drive, but I get the message: "Oregon Trail II cannot locate 'OregonII.Dat'. Make sure the Oregon Trail II CD is in the CD-ROM drive.

Is there any way around this, or do I have to search through my old CDs and find a CD drive?

What was your solution, for the sake of other people who might have the same problem?

I ran the game from the game file itself instead of the installed copy on the hard drive. Saving games doesn't seem to work, but playing the game works just fine.
