Hey all! I’m trying to get “Star Trek: The Next Generation — A Final Unity” up and running on my PC. I’ve never ventured into the DOS emulation scene before, so this is all new to me.

I downloaded vDOS to get everything running, but the only file I can find for the game is an NRG file that I can’t seem to natively run. I’m aware that I need to convert it to an ISO or other readable disk format, but I’m not really sure where to go from here.

Any help is much appreciated. Thank you!

    I’m not too familiar with vDos or converting .nrg to iso. I’m sure you can find software to do that.

    Another option would be to use DosBox and mount the image on a virtual drive that DosBox can access. Then install the game like you would on DOS.

    Here’s a DosBox wiki for Star Trek AFU.

      That might be a solid solution. I think I was a bit intimidated by the (relative) complexity of DosBox compared to vDos, but it seems like a reasonable way to go about it. Thanks for the link! That makes it much easier.
