I don't know about Rick Dangerous, but I've been playing Dungeon Master
and Falcon with no problems on my system with the 1.4 ROMs installed. I
also play off copies, not the originals, but these disks haven't been
cracked. The big reason for copying these was that the original disks
couldn't be read on my machine. (Funky drive speeds.)

I've also been playing Operation Counterstrike (the Falcon Mission disk)
without any problems.
