Microprose Magic the Gathering 2010 Custom Installer ISO

Hi guys, sorry to ask but I am a little unclear about this: does this version of the game have extra cards modded into it? Some places I read that there are "hundreds of new cards" and other places I see this mentioned it says that there aren't any.... I own the original disks and I am looking for a way to play this game without resorting to building a period Win95 PC, I want to play the game as close to the original version as possible.

Thanks for any help.

No new cards with this.

Many popups are cut off for me. E.g. buying a card (this one in particular I know is y/n, but I don't know what the text is on other popups). Is there a fix?

I was running Windows 7 64-bit home and had this same problem. Everything works fine except the launcher and shandalar. And luckily I found the fix just yesterday.

The trick is, to include MTGlauncher.exe and Shandalar.exe as exceptions to Window 7's Data Execution Prevention(DEP).

Note: You must have administrator access to do this

Go to My computer > Right click it and click Properties
At the left part of your window click > remote setttings
Click the Advanced Tab
Under Performance > Click Settings (the uppermost most button)
Now Click the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) tab
Select
o Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select

click add, and browse your MagicTG Folder(Game installation folder) and select MTGlauncher.exe

click add again then select Shandalar.exe

I tested this myself and shandalar should now work fine on your Windows 7 system

CarlPH's tip has just made my day! The same still applies to Windows 11! After three days trying, I will finaly start playing it right now. I've just registered myself in the forum just to share this valueble (at least to me it was) info. Hope it helps more people to play Shandalar, I myself can't wait to start playing it! Thank you CarlPH and my thanks to all the community!

Hi All,
This is the only version that works for me on Windows 11. I have a question about Nicol Bolas, I see his image: 0733.jpg in the CardArtNew folder but don't see him in the Deckbuilder. How do I unlock him (and any additional cards) so he/they will show up in the Deckbuilder? Is there a quicker way rather than grinding through Shandular? I did try editing the .dck file and he does show up in the deck when I load the deck in the Deckbuilder but, when I go to choose the deck from the list, the deck is not listed in the dropdown menu in the Duel's screen so he must be locked.

These have not be coded for shandalar part of the game in this version only the original microprose cards are in. Nicol Bolas either wasn't coded or not enabled and just has the image of it in CardArtNew file which can happen. I can't test as my hard drive crashed and I have no pc for some time now. Foolishly enough I had saved previously only some of my stuff and so lost lots of mtg related stuff and versions of microprose mtg extremely difficult or impossible to find.
