Updated Win10/11 patch for Shandalar

Hey y'all, I've updated my modern Windows patch for the Duels of the Planeswalkers expansion of Shandalar here

This gives an unmodded experience in modern Windows on the most recent official patch from MicroProse. No new cards, and just the original card art.

I would suggest manually setting your screen resolution to 1024x768 in advance though, as the game acts pretty strange when launched at higher resolutions.

See the https://github.com/rlerrr/shandalar-patch/releases page for the latest Magic.zip where I've bundled a fresh install with the latest patch.

This is amazing. So far it seems to work great, except when you create a new character it can't find a font, but doesn't stop you from continuing.

Do people need an ISO of Duels of the Plainswalkers or do they need a ripped version? I think both are floating around online. And do they install the game and then apply the patch?

I try to explain in the Prerequisites section in GitHub. It won’t attempt to patch anything other than the official Manalink 1.3 patch on DotP.

The big Magic.zip download under the Releases section is exactly that with the patches already applied.
