However, can't check if I remember wrong, since my old original package is storaged far far away. In fact I'm recalling the Technical Supplement leaflet in my DOS version was encouraging to take a backup of the game and keep the original floppy safe. No installation should be necessary and the game should work fine by TANK.COM file in whichever own custom folder just by copying it manually.Īlso at least my original HD floppy version of this game was not copy protected by any means.

This version runs fine for me, but only when I'll set in DOSBox configuration:Īs far as I know all the INSTALL.EXE file really does is copies the game to hard drive on a preset folder and adds a batch file to the drive root.

That file you mention is precisely the one that must usually one must swap out with the cracked version that is to be found onlne If your actual floppy disks dont have this protection then i would love to know what exactly the box and disk look like, that you have - is yours a later budget release copy like the Kixx versions?įortunately i do have a cdrom copy of M1TP 1, it too was a later budget release version, so i at least have that if floppy version is inaccessible for me

I suspect the latter as I also tried to install M1TP in dos through PCEM and that also did not work.

I have the original floppies with this and sadly it seems that either Dosbox cannot recognise it, or modern USB Floppy drives lack some ability to detect it. M1 Tank Platoon did have copy protection and the technical supplement in the boxed version (the one with teh photo of the m1 tanks on the cover rather than a painting, ) actually describes this in detail - Microprose used the key disk protection whereby disk A has some kind of code in it which cant be copied, and only can be detected by the physical floppy drive Thanks for your comment - i am surprised that setting the core to dynamic would work, i have never found that to work for the older Microprose games - for M1 Tank Platoon and F-15 Strike Eagle 2 at least the only setting that works is CPU= 386_prefetch
