So I used the 'Ra7ven's Installer' for Windows for 'Tides of Vengence' and I am now slightly confused of how to apply 'Beyond the Dark Portal' expansion to this?
Thanks in advance!

Ok so nvm my last comments i did it the Normal Warcraft 2 and beyond the dark portal work on my Android with dos hehe. No need that ps1 version ????

Ethan2018-05-06-1 point
well i'm using the iso and burning it to a disk for tides of darkness and it seems to work just fine im attempting bdp ring now oh and i'm using 32 bit windows xp so ha suckers i don't need dosbox or boxxer or no virtual machine
Therion6662017-11-301 point
There's an easier way to mount than writing long command lines.. I use power iso, so I've mounted my virtual drive (F:) as drive D: in dosbox . Just mount the image to your virtual drive and ur all set.. don't forget to add the mount commands to dosbox conf file so that u don't need to mount drives everytime u open dosbox.

Instructions for Mac using Boxer instead of dosbox (+expansion +patch)
-Download warcraft 2 + expansion as ISO
-The files here are actually bin/cue files not ISO, boxer won't read them, Mac won't mount them.
-Convert bin file to ISO for both war2 and expansion. I did this in windows using magicIso shareware version. I tried first with winIso and PowerISO, neither worked.
-Place both new ISO files in your Mac filesystem in 'users/your_username' folder
-rename the ISO files to war2.iso and war2e.iso (you might want to go to finder advanced preferences and show all file extensions so you don't mess them up)
-Open boxer, go to import game, drag the war2 ISO to Boxer
-let it install in its default settings and location, choosing sound blaster 16 for your sound cards, then finish importing.
-open the new Boxer game file you just made, get it to the dos prompt (don't run the game yet)
-Boxer auto mounts this disc for you now in Drive D. type 'mount -u d' to unmount it.
-now type 'imgmount d ~/war2e.iso -t ISO' and it should give you a successful mount message. FYI boxer lets dos see your filesytem starting from users/username when you type '~/' so that's why it sees the war2e.iso there. Make sure to use the Mac filesystem forward slash for this particular directory location, not the Microsoft ' backslash.
-You should have a blank c: line on your prompt still. Type 'd:' to navigate to the war2e image you mounted. Type setup to install the expansion, use default settings, it should see your original install in c: still.
-quit boxer
-download the Warcraft 2 expansion patch from this site. Go to your boxer game directory, right click Warcraft 2 app and show package contents, drop that patch into its c drive.
-run the Warcraft 2 boxer app, run the patch by typing 'war2ptch.exe' or whatever the patch file is called.
-type war2 to run the game. When you quit boxer earlier, it should have remounted the original disc automatically and it should read as a genuine disc and let you access all single player features with expansion and patch

New noob2017-03-180 point
Hello, I too can't seem to be able to run the expansion. More precisely, I am not sure how to run the installation process itself, as putting the files in the game's folder doesn't affect it in any way (it still simply runs Tides of Darkness).
Can anyone help me, please?
k2017-01-231 point
Think of RIP version as the minimal install. You can play the game but without extra graphics, cut scenes, sounds, etc. You can run the program with just the RIP version. To get the extras, download the ISO files and out them in the same folder as the RIP files.
IWasNeverReallyOnyourside2016-12-03-4 points
What is RIP version?
Chris2016-11-20-1 point
Hey Proud, would just like to say thanks! Your directions were the only ones that helped me get BTDP started. Most appreciated.
gaviao2016-10-070 point
Hi, I can't seem to make the BTDP expansion to work, must be doing something wrong. For the TOD i used these instructions:
How to, Windows 10:
1. Unpack the RIP version. Rename the unpacked folder to something easy like W2.
(I will be using path c:gamesw2)
2. Unpack the ISO version and copy both .bin and .cue files to the new W2 folder. Not the folder, just the two files!
3. Start DosBox.
mount c c:gamesw2
c:
w2crack (And yes to both overwrites)
mount f c:gamesw2 -t cdrom
war2cd
Do this and the CdRom issue should not happen. This is because the crack changes the path in the .ini file to 'nothing'. So if your path is like c:gamesw2Cd or whatever for the cd, it wont work and thats why most dont get it working via other comments here.
You only need to do the crack part once.
!! After !! that the standard steps would be:
mount c c:gamesw2
mount f c:gamesw2 -t cdrom
c:
war2cd
Would appreciate the help, thank's

TinyGiant2016-09-250 point
AWSOME!!!!!
D-Man2016-09-220 point
*Correction:
In step #4, I meant to say 'loaded', not what I actually said which was ' loadedcdse'
D-Man2016-09-223 points
Here is how I did it:
My game folders are:
w2cd = wc2_tod
w2 = game files (Game folder inside of wc2_tod folder)
wc2-btdp = wc2_btdp game files
Step 1)
Make sure wc2-btdp folder is in w2 folder
Here is what I did after that:
2) once done, goto step 3
3) Drag w2cd folder onto DoxBox (App Icon)
4) Once in Doxbox has loadedcdse, follow next step
5) type in cd w2 (warcraft games folder)
6) Run detectcd.exe
7) it will ask you which one to detect
8) type in detectcd C:w2wc2-btdp
9) type cd wc2-btdp, run setup.exe
10) Run war2.exe
11) Select Single Player Mode
Viola! It will be there!
- And the game should run perfectly, giving you the option of which
game to select.
To run the game a 2nd time after the intial run, follow steps 3-9 and instead of running setup.exe, just run war2.exe
I got a working version of BTDP from a different website, I don't remember which one though.
Sorry.

If you mounted the folder c:war2 the file war2.exe will be on your new root. Try pointing directly at the file i.e. c:

this took forever.
Drex2016-05-201 point
Okay so I tried following Proud's steps but when I get to the install from my virtual drive it keeps telling me incorrect or missing WAR2.EXW in directory. I've renamed my TOD folder to WAR2 to keep things simple. I've had no problems with the base TOD game I just can't seem to figure out how to get BTDP to work. I downloaded both TOD and BTDP from this site. any ideas?

SJB84502016-04-210 point
what if you get an error when you try to run the install ?
I keep getting an error because I'm using a 64-bit OS
Proud2016-03-141 point
for those that need help with getting this to work hes what i did. used the RIP from WC2:Tod from here.
1.First mount the parent dir of your war2 rip to c: (i.e. my rip folder was c:warcraft2todwar2)
z:mount c c:warcraft2tod
2. mount the expansion image with your virtual drive program then mount it in dosbox ( my virtual drive is h:)
z:mount d h:
3. run the install on the disk. if you put the parent dir for warcraft2 as c: then the default install path (C:WAR2) should be fine (you may have to rename the RIP folder to war2 or you can replace WAR2 with whatever the folder is named)
z:d:
d:install.exe
4. now for the fun part (and the reason you need the RIP to do it my way). first unmount your d:
d:z:
z: mount -u d
then remount it like this (once again my virtual drive is h:)
z:mount d h: -t cdrom switch
now get into the RIP folder (once again this is my path and since c is mount to the parent already)
z:c:
c:cdwar2
c:war2
5. the important part. run the detectcd.exe file in the RIP folder for the drive you mounted you virtual drive to (in this case i mount d: as h:)
c:war2detectcd.exe d:
should display:
WARCRAFT 2 DETECT CD V1.0 - by PiXIE 96/10/11
c:war2
6. just type war2 to play.
now if you want to play the old campaign just mount the original image ( or disk if you have it) to d: using the same -t cdrom switch, do the detectcd and run war2.
Jaggy2016-01-171 point

It is kind of crazy to think that the first time I played Warcraft 2 was on the Sega Saturn at a buddy’s house. Well, that was great and all, but it was not as amazing as it was on the PC. Before we had World of Warcraft, we had this and it is a game that many people have a lot of fond memories of.
Two Sides Of A War
Warcraft 2 actually has a pretty neat story. It is basically humans and orcs at war and the game has a fun campaign that showcases this really well. You get to play the game from two points of view which is kind of interesting. The campaign missions on both sides (while the story is different) do follow the same kind of formula no matter if you are playing as the humans or orcs.
Scenarios!
Warcraft 2 Download Full Version Mac Pro
One of the things that Warcraft 2 is most well known for is its scenarios. You have plenty that you can play, but you can also make your own. For a game that is as old as Warcraft 2 is, I feel that this feature here is way ahead of its time. You can pretty much create a whole new campaign for yourself and friends to play.
This is really well done and you would be surprised at how easy it is to make a new scenario. You can play your scenarios against the AI or you can get a friend involved and play them.
Easy To Play Hard To Master
The gameplay of Warcraft 2 is what has kept so many people playing it for all these years. They really did streamline things here and while this is a real time strategy game and there is a lot of thought behind it. You have to play at a quick pace as the AI (and of course any human you play against) can be very relentless and will not wait for you to think of what to do next.
There are tons of units that you can use in this game. It still has the same two resources to gather as in the first game, but Warcraft 2 introduces air and sea units that require oil, so you now have a third resource to battle over. The different units are a lot of fun and what the humans have there will be an alternative on the Orc side. This is something that other RTS games have so it is not really a negative.

Pixel PerfectionWhile it may seem a little bit “dated” the leap in presentation from the first Warcraft is pretty incredible. I still like the way the game looks and think that the Orcs and the more fantasy-based creatures look fantastic, many of which have kept their place in the Warcraft universe to this day.
If you love RTS games, you will love Warcraft 2. It is a truly fantastic game and one that is just as much fun to play today as it was when it was first released. I love the storyline and the whole lore behind the game. But it is really the gameplay that has kept me hooked for so many years. It is even more addictive if you can sink your teeth into creating your own content for the game.
9/10
Pros:
- I love the lore of the game
- Plenty of units to make use of
- New units are a lot of fun
- It is easy to get into and play
- You can make your own scenarios
Cons:
- The visuals are a tad dated
- Could be more story in the campaign

Game Features:Single game mode
Overview
Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness is basically a war/strategy game. This is a war between the Orcish Hordes and the Human forces of Azeroth. Whether you decide to aid the orc or the human cause, the tasks of your missions are much the same: destroy an enemy encampment, rescue a captured ally, or immolate an enemy oil refinery, to name a few. As you beat back the forces of the opposition, you must have your peons or peasants constantly gather resources (gold, lumber, and oil) for your use in building a superior war machine. Eventually, the human forces will destroy the Dark Portal through which the Orcish Hordes have come to Azeroth. The Orc campaign ends with the orcs establishing a firm hold on their position in the human kingdom of Azeroth.
Graphics/Realism
I must admit that the graphics of Warcraft 2 threw me off a bit at first. After playing Command and Conquer a great deal, the cartoonish look and feel of Warcraft 2 was hard to take seriously. But once I delved deeper into the play of the game, what seemed childish soon became endearing. Since Warcraft 2 is set in a fantasy realm where orcs and humans €battle for supremacy, realism only partially applies as a category anyway. Still, the game is more realistic in its action than in its graphics—keeping in mind that the graphics were not intended to represent reality. There is also enough graphic brutality to please most wargame enthusiasts. But after you've killed ten or twenty helpless 'critters' and have witnessed the extremely disturbing yet comical way in which they expire, you tire of that novelty and concentrate on the mission at hand. Among the nicer touches in Warcraft 2 is the 'Fog of War,' which allows you to see only those parts of the battlefield where your troops have been sent. If you have sent troops through an area and they were demolished, you will still be able to view that area's layout and buildings, but not the actual forces of the enemy. There are also several video sequences that appear at points of major accomplishment in the story, but while they were a nice break from the action, I didn't really feel that they added to the overall quality of the game.
Setup/Documentation/Interface
Game setup is easy, taking about 10 minutes or so. The only annoying fact I must mention is that if you load into Windows with the CD in your drive, you will get a little window about Warcraft 2, asking you if you would like to install it, even if you already have. This would seem to be a minor annoyance, which it really is, but once I was jolted out of bed because this screen popped up and started blaring some march music out of my poor Yamaha speakers. I guess that teaches me not to leave the CD in the drive and have my sound set louder in Windows than DOS; still ... a silly occurence that may have been comical to me (upon reflection) could perhaps send some unsuspecting senior citizen into premature cardiac arrest.
Moving on to more positive ground, I thought the documentation that came with Warcraft 2 was great. Each unit is illustrated and its characteristics defined completely. The only minor gripe I had was that some of the descriptions were too colorful to be clear—for instance, some of the descriptions of the Mage's spells might tell you that the 'Mage will use the lightning bolt to utterly vanquish the enemies of Azeroth from the sacred land.' A nice feeling to it, but not very helpful when you're trying to decide whether that spell might be enough to protect your paladins on their next jaunt into the Orcish stronghold. Nevertheless, the manual provided a wonderful reference during gameplay. Often, while learning the game, I would see a chance to build a new structure and have my wife read the description to me, so that I could continue hacking away at those poor enemy dimwits who dared to get in my way.
If you're familiar at all with Westwood's Command and Conquer, you'll feel right at home playing Warcraft 2. You simply point and click on your guys and then click on the object you want them to manipulate ... click on an enemy and they'll attack; click on trees and your peons or peasants will harvest them. This manner of controlling your forces makes it very easy to handle many tasks at once, which is paramount to success. You are able to gather resources, scout new territories, and fight the mother of all battles—all at once. One advantage that Warcraft 2 has over Command and Conquer is the ability to build non-adjacent structures. This allows you to build guard towers and such at your camp's perimeter without 'sandbagging' out there. To be fair, I heard that C&C: Red Alert was supposed to allow non-adjacent structures as well. In Warcraft 2, I also like the fact that you can rebuild all your structures: as long as you have the money and at least one peon or peasant to do the building. It was always a drag in C&C—especially head-to-head play—when your 'friend' snuck an engineer into your construction yard via helicopter, and you had to concede because you couldn't rebuild it—even if you had $20,000 tucked away. Comparisons aside, Warcraft 2 has a very intuitive and fun-to-use interface.
Audio
The worst thing about the audio for Warcraft 2 is the narration before each mission. Can you say 'overacting?' But I was very pleased overall with the game's consistently nice audio touches. The various characters in Warcraft 2 have very distinct and colorful personalities, mainly characterized by their reactions to your commands—for instance, the peasant's cry 'Yes, me Lord,' or the Paladin's 'For the King!' Some of the effects are gruesome, such as the dying wail of the various critters. Music itself is fairly nonexistent during the missions, which suits me just fine—it really isn't needed since the richness of the sound effects provides a nice backdrop for the action. There is, however, some fitting, warlike music used under the narration and during the video sequences.

Bottom Line
I had a lot of fun playing Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness. Although the game had its share of shortcomings, I felt that its good points heavily outweighed them. I am pleased to award Warcraft 2 a generous score of 89.
