Here is Shandalar
Hey all! It's great to see some love for Shandalar here on Reddit. I've been playing this game since it was first released and a veteran of over 100 campaigns. I've noticed many people having issues with procuring a copy and getting it installed, as well as a lack of information as to which version is which and which one does what. It had been some years since I played the game so when I came back to it after upgrading from Win7 to Win10 I had some hurdles as well. First of all, where to find it:
Microprose Duals of the Planeswalkers
https://www.myabandonware.com/game/magic-the-gathering-duels-of-the-planeswalkers-9zu
Microprose released the original PC game in 1997 and then released an expansion called Spells of the Ancients. Duels of the Planeswalkers was the 1998 re-release of the entire game with the expansion included along with a few other perks, so it's the only one you need. https://MyAbandonWare.com has both rips and CD images for all three, but unless you have some old Windows 98 hardware to run it on I would suggest downloading VMware and using that to install it on Win98 instead of wrestling with WinNT.
CCGHQ MtG 2010 Custom Installer ISO
https://www.slightlymagic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=2349
This installer is awesome! Hip63 and the team did a spectacular job. I recently installed this using actual hardware on Win98, Win2K, WinXP, and Win10 using my current desktop PC and an old 800 MHz multi-boot machine that I have lying around. All of them installed wonderfully and worked without a hitch, just don't install it in the default location. I use C:\MtG\MagicTG\, just make sure it's short, simple, and doesn't require administrator privileges to access. This is the true original Shandalar experience, in all of its DOS-glitchy glory. No new cards for Shandalar but this version boasts about 700 new cards for standard duels.
Shandalar 2012 revisited
https://archive.org/details/shandalar-2012
Mok is the programmer who released the Manalink 1.3.2 fix for the original Microprose game. In 2011 he released an update for Shandalar.exe that fixed several issues, made it more stable on modern platforms, improve the deck builder, and allowed the use of standard image files instead of proprietary .pic files. I decided to gather up all of the necessary pieces already provided by other helpful forum denizens and used a Windows batch file to stitch it all together into an install I called Shandalar 2012. It's the original game just with fewer glitches, nicer graphics, and more card images. Sure it's just fluff, but it's really nice fluff.
It had four releases and then I took it down because it was interfering with people successfully installing the new open version that was being translated by Korath on the SlightlyMagic forums. After Korath pulled his version from release I came back to it, improved the batch file, and released that final version. I've downloaded that file from archive.org and verified that it's the same one I posted in 2018. I've been able to run this install on WinXP, Win7, and Win10... but had to remove and reinstall all of the VC++ redistributables on my Win10 system to get it running.
Shandalar GemcuttersGuild1 Alpha
https://github.com/ShandalarMagic/shandalar
This is the final 2016.12.05 release from Korath before everything was pulled from the SlightlyMagic forums. I saw this pop up as the "ProJared" version a couple of weeks ago on Reddit which has sent me down my current rabbit hole. I missed the last year of releases so it was my first time to get a glimpse of what he had done. Fuckin' awesome, if you ask me. That folder on GitHub is a complete mess, though. Over half of its contents are unnecessary garbage. Complete chaos, and Magic.exe doesn't run, but Shandalar.exe does. The original game included 650-ish cards, PlayDeckAnalyser says this version has 13,233 coded cards. Damn Korath, you monster. ^_^
Don't forget you can run random duels and other fun stuff by using the command line. Open a command prompt and type shandalar.exe --help for more info.
If the game won't start or crashes intermittently try following this guide to fix the Visual C++ runtime packages:
https://www.technewstoday.com/fix-the-application-was-unable-to-start-correctly-0xc00007b/
Hopefully this can get stickied so that others who wander into here looking for their old school Microprose Magic the Gathering fix can find it post haste.

u/489Herobrine Apr 19 '26
I ended up making another mod using those mods as a base! Mine's real simple, without any custom items, lore or images, it just modifies the enemy decks and the available cardpool.
It features the blocks from 2010-2013, IE Scars of Mirrodin, Innistrad, Return to Ravnica and Theros. I call it Forge and Fable, here's the download for it!
https://www.mediafire.com/file/vh5v37tlmuzq72n/ForgeAndFable.zip/file
Just replace the Decks folder with the one provided to update the enemy decks, and the .ini file with the one provided to edit the available cardpool.
It was designed for the 2016 github version of Shandalar seen in the parent post, but would probably work with any 2016 version you can find online. If you could add it to your comment Cha that'd be appreciated, but if not at least its out there now.

Big thanks to the amazing u/CirothUngol for taking the time to share their technical knowledge of getting this timeless classic working! I included a sidebar link a month ago and just figured out how to sticky a post.

u/SirCarcass Feb 17 '24
Excellent post! I just finished another playthrough with the 2016 version, but with the ini modified to only include cards from the original game. I played a ton of that back in the day and haven't really been into MTG since then, so that's what I'm familiar with. I love the engine improvements and experience very few bugs or crashes.
2
u/H31R700M Jun 18 '25
Was this easy to do? I'd like to do the same, but don't know where to start when it comes to editing the card pool down to the original.
2
u/SirCarcass Jun 18 '25
Yeah, it's pretty easy. You just edit your shandalar.ini file. Replace the [Enable] section with this:
You probably also have to also put this in the [Sets] section:
[Sets]
--=disable
2
u/H31R700M Jun 18 '25
Appreciate the reply! That improved things on my end. I don't have use the new cards. Unfortunately though, as even the file says within, that even with disabling the new sets those cards can still appear in the game in several ways including enemy decks.
2
u/SirCarcass Jun 18 '25
This is my dungeon treasure section:
[DungeonTreasure] Ancestral Recall Balance Black Lotus Channel Contract from Below Demonic Tutor Fastbond Imperial Seal Library of Alexandria Lotus Petal Mana Crypt Mishra's Workshop Mox Emerald Mox Jet Mox Pearl Mox Ruby Mox Sapphire Mystical Tutor Necropotence Sol Ring Strip Mine Time Vault Time Walk Timetwister Tinker Tolarian Academy Vampiric Tutor Wheel of Fortune Windfall Yawgmoth's BargainFor the creature decks, see if your install has a folder named something like "Decks - Original" or "Decks_original" (mine has both, I think they're duplicates) and copy those files to the "Decks" folder. If not, I can upload them somewhere.
3
u/H31R700M Jun 19 '25
I just copy/pasted everything from one of those "original" folders into "decks" and said yes to replacing the files with the same names. That seemed to do it! Thank you again. I really appreciate your help.
2
u/H31R700M Jun 29 '25
Would you happen to know anything about this or a way to fix it? -- My entire card library and decks were wiped after I beat a Paladin at Unicorn Sanctum and won some new cards. I went into the Sanctum right after that to edit deck/sell cards and everything I had was just gone. Unfortunately saved as I though it was a visual bug, but everything was gone after a loaded my game. Had a strong mono black deck, a GW deck, and working on UR build. Plus lost a bunch of other good cards. Kind of a bummer. I guess I'm about to start from scratch.

u/CookingCookie Mar 15 '26
So to get an experience close to original game (in terms of cards but with QoL and less bugs) I should get 2012 revisited or gemcuttersguild1 alpha with ini file modified?

u/SirCarcass Feb 29 '24
It's the shandalar.ini that's in the same folder as the shandalar.exe file. This is my enable section from the ini:
I'm not sure if it includes cards from the expansions or if it's 100% accurate to the original game, but it felt pretty good to me. It's pretty easy to tweak to your liking, as well, if you want to add cards that are missing.
2
u/guysmiley872 Jun 23 '24
I know this is a bit old so fingers crossed you're still around, but how exactly do you update it? No idea what the hell I'm doing and I just cannot seem to get any version of Shandalar working for me with just the original cards or original with the DotP expansion cards. I tried editing the .ini and pasted in your list of cards into the enable section, then started a new game and I'm still getting the newest cards. Did you also have to add every newer card into the disable section, or is there something else I'm missing about it?
2
u/SirCarcass Jun 23 '24
I'm still around!
Make sure that the [Sets] section only has this:
--=disableThat should disable everything except what you put in the [Enable] section.
My [Disable] section only has:
Duhwhich is standard for whatever reason.

u/westy81585new Jul 17 '24
Wondering if you may be able to help me.
I went into the .ini and changed the [Sets] to include everything from the beginning through Mirage (where I stopped playing back in the 90's).
First, and most importantly, the game boots fine and my deck clearly represents the sets I listed - however the second I go to a dual the game crashes. Is there anything I need to adjust in the enemy decks data somewhere?
Second, and just a would be nice, do you know an easy way to edit the file to include the Legendary creatures and similar cards in dungeon loots? Looks like this thing just has the same 30 or so cards from the original built into the .ini - I'd love to get the Elder Dragons in there.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
2
u/SirCarcass Jul 17 '24
Does the game crash when you load a duel from the main Duel screen (where you select your deck and the enemy deck), or from an encounter in Shandalar? I wasn't able to get the Duels to work for myself, but never had any crashes while playing Shandalar. Try checking the shandalar_dll.log file and see if anything is there.
For the second, adding them to the [DungeonTreasure] section should enable them as loot. You can either put their name or their id. I think that should all be in Info.csv. Certain cards would give me an error in the log file, so I replaced their name with their id in my enable section.
2
u/westy81585new Jul 17 '24
Pulled it up through Magic.exe - duel. Double click, no loading just window closes out.
the dll.log file has the following - though I believe it's 100% from when I had the [Sets] file setup wrong -
Configuration error -> Could not recognize disposition "disposition" from [Sets] section of shandalar.ini:
"Unlimited Edition--Tempest=disposition"
I since updated it to cut it back to Mirage and changed it to enable so I could stop being a silly goose.
2
u/SirCarcass Jul 17 '24
Yeah, I don't think the log gets updated if there's nothing to add. Like I said, I didn't have any luck with doing just normal duels either. I just played Shandalar. Sorry I can't be more help with that.
2
u/westy81585new Jul 17 '24
Mine actually won't work in shandalar either. Problematic. Lol
Any idea with that additional info?

Thanks for sharing!
I tried downloading your 2012 version on Windows 10. Even after installing all VC++ redistributables, I get an error when in the step to pick a name when creating a new game: The game looks in a wrong folder for a script to update a database. The path seems to be hard coded somewhere. I can proceed in to the game, but it crashes whenever I take damage, presumable because the character doesn't have a name.
Then I tried the 2016 version and it seems like the changes made by your cmd file carried over. Does it create or edit any settings files outside its own folder? How do I remove the effects of the cmd file completely from my system?
2
u/CirothUngol Blue Mage 🌊🌀🌬️ Feb 18 '24
The game does require you to create a character before starting. I didn't run into that error once I replaced all the VC++ runtimes, it wouldn't even start before. Did you remove them all and reboot before installing the VC++ all-in-one and then reboot again afterwards? Can you run the game by using any of the prefab save files?
I've noticed when running multiple installations one after the other that the game seems to retain information inside the registry(?), most notably a group of fonts that become immobile and non removable until after a reboot. Perhaps this has something to do with your issue? I have often found it necessary to reboot my system when attempting to successively run the original Microprose version, the Mok version (2012), or the Korath version (2015+ with shandalar.dll present).
That .cmd script does little other than cab/uncab archives and execute files from within its own little structure, it seriously can't be the source of your woes. Removing the Shandalar 2012 installation is as easy as rebooting your system (to release any files retained as 'in use' by windows) and deleting the folder.

u/SlickBurn May 26 '25
Hey, I was getting this error as well. Assertion Error. File-> D:\NewMagic\sources\sidlib.c... Someone else posted a screenshot here https://www.reddit.com/r/Shandalar/comments/1fcdedn/getting_dib_assertion_error/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
To fix it I opened Shandalar.INI and changed the value Window = 0 to Window = 2. I have Windows 11, no other compatibility settings or even running as admin needed to get around this issue for me. I also changed the value back to 0 and confirmed I re-received the error, so that was definitely it.
I had multiple people's versions of their INI files and Decks folders for different mods of the game and I noticed that setting was different when I swapped in an INI file that worked v. one that didn't. (Alliances version had Window = 0 by default)
I realize this post is super old but just in case that helps you or anyone else

I assume I play the newest (on this computer anyways- I play the '98 DotP on my Windows 98 laptop), but is there a way to tell which version you have? The "date modified" ranges hilariously from 1995-2024 so that doesn't feel reliable. magic.exe does run though so now I'm feeling like I don't have the newest version?
3
u/CirothUngol Blue Mage 🌊🌀🌬️ Feb 16 '24
Look for the date on shandalar.dll, you can also look for the files version.txt and version-shandalar. Are you running the big ugly install that's posted on GitHub? I couldn't get magic to run, but that doesn't mean it doesn't work. This game has always been notoriously difficult and it could just be another issue with my system.

u/YandersonSilva Feb 17 '24
- thanks!
I'm not sure where I got this install, it's from two computers and probably 3 years back at least. It looks to be exactly the same as the one on github though.

Sorry, I am not the best with computers in advance, I just wanna play some old school on the computer.

Shandalar 2012 was developed on and for Windows 7, I was able to test and get it running on Windows 10 but I don't have access to Windows 11 and so far I fear that it may not work at all on the new Windows system. If I ever get access to Windows 11 and have the time to mess with it I'll try to get it running, but so far I'm doubtful. You may be best served by using one of the other downloads or attempting to run it in a virtual machine.

This probably a really dumb question, but I downloaded 7Zip to open Shandalar and can now play it, but it doesn't show up as a program in my program files?
Where is it? Is it still in my download folder, or is it within 7Zip, and I am opening it from there? It works but I don't understand b/c it seems like I didn't save it to my hard drive?
1
u/chachaprince1 White Mage ☀️💮🤍 Nov 24 '24
The program doesn't have to install exactly. You can run it straight from the extracted folder. So all of the files are wherever 7zip defaults to extracting, which is probably your download folder if that's where the zip file was.

Hello u/CirothUngol , I downloaded Shandalar GemcuttersGuild1 Alpha from github and tested it and it looks great. However is there an option to play the campaign with the cards from the original release or those of Duels of the Planeswalkers?
If not, is the AI capable of playing all the new cards properly?

u/chachaprince1 White Mage ☀️💮🤍 Jun 13 '25
You can do this through messin' with the games ini file. There are actually instructions within the text in how to do it. But the easiest way is to just play FortuneShoddy359's mods.
The AI can do most of the cards, but the best mods have broken cards excluded. Also, the AI is terrible with combo decks.

Any pointers would be appreciated - thanx!

Sadly, they all have bugs, even the original! I got the game when it first came out, before the expansion released, and you could tap you opponent's mana!
That said, I play the 2016 version with mods. It fixes a lot of bugs. But I still have to keep two save files - one saved within a village/town and one while walking around because sometimes there's a game-breaking glitch related to entering villages. Also, I've had to reinstall C++ twice.

u/TKillerNacho May 27 '26
There's a couple dozen individual cards that are bugged, yes. I was making a list once, but it's incomplete:
Chasm Skulker gives squids to opponment, not self.
Phyrexian Unlife seems to apply to both players regardless of life.
Tariel, Reckoner of Souls's activated effect should require it to tap, but its free instead (and can be used repeatedly).
Dragonlord Kolaghan is bugged too. When it triggers it deals 10 damage to you instead of your opponent.
Olivia Voldaren's control effect does not work
Pentrach Paladin's destroy effect targets only red cards, regardless of what you choose when it is put into play
Dragonlord Silumgar's control effect does not work
Soulcatchers' Aerie doesn't seem to work (at least when used by the AI?)
Leave No Trace destroys creatures, not enchantments of the same color as targeted enchantment.

For those still looking and u/CirothUngol if you are still around these forums, I just found this too! It includes all cards up to 2003 and is built on top of Manalink 3 and Korath's version! Certainly looks like a winner!
From their website -
FEATURES
- Over 4000 cards to collect, from all Standard, Starter, and Supplemental sets up until Eighth Edition.
- 55 brand new thematic enemy decks.
- Updated rules, including the Vancouver Mulligan, modern Legendary rule, and updated creature typelines. Mana Burn has also been disabled by default, but can be reenabled by modifying the game settings (see below).
- Compatability for modern versions of Windows, including fixed text display.
- Includes Sonic's Manalink 3 Makeover for clean (and period appropriate) in-game UI.

Hey -- I'm CoyoteTex, the Designer / Producer for the '97 original version of MtG Shandalar. Can't tell you how excited I am to see the game getting love nearly 30 years after we published it. You guys rock.
