I can second that. In the start it was very jumpy, sometimes even
slow. but now it works ok, except for a couple of things. The
map ( 'w') takes a bit to manage. It changes into automap mode
whenever you want to make annotations. The introduction movie
only works the first time, and not with any subsequent characters,
and it still needs the cd to run. BUT these are the only differences
I have encountered sofar, and I am sure they can be fixed. And
most importantly, for some gamers. tje configuring of the z.cfg
file is unaffected for those that want to have the options of
cheatmode and magicrepair

I can only reccommend it.

I didn't touch the z.cfg at all. I have the game installed
on c:\\ and the cd drive is 'D'

My paths in the z.cfg as written by the installation
process says

path C:\dagger\arena2\
pathcd D:\dagger\arena2\

I have 2 cd drives D and E. I have used both drives
alternatively. Daggerfall complains, if it cannot find
the cd in the right drive. I then open the cd drive
and close it again, or I extract the cd and insert it
again. For me the game has reset itself everytime
and have had no problems finding the cd.
