You're welcome, I really enjoy these old lego games and it was something I never ever realised when I was a kid. Thought it would be an easy fix but clearly not. I also made another discovery today, a different game with exactly the same issue. Rollcage from Psygnosis for PC. Bought a "new" copy on eBay and installed it. No music at all. Checked the CD files and there isnt even a mention of music anywhere on there so I panicked a little and thought it must be an issue with my computer since Rock Raiders was doing the same thing. After your replies on here, I tried it with a different CD version of the same game (im assuming an older official release?) and it had music on it. Then I thought it might be exaclty the same issue so I put both of the discs into a CD player and as expected, one played music like a CD and the other didn't play anything. So this must have been a common way to get music playing on PC games in that era? This is just something I never would have expected, surely it must be a space-saving solution since the music doesnt even show up as a file on the disk, maybe it tricks the CD into adding more files? Maybe? Also, yes its weird that two seemingly identical disks are actually different, even with the same serial numbers. I double checked and yes, one has music and one does not. Youd think the publishers would check this before shipping them out but they really must not care too much, at least not as much as the OG developer/publisher. What is crazy to me though is that the collectors "Classics" version of the game indeed has no music, youd think maybe they would have at least checked that one? Glad I can add to the LRR community in some way!

You know I think we were right, I couldn't actually believe it. I put the disks in a CD player and wouldn't you know it, the discs with the music in-game played the music and the disks with no music in game didn't play anything. How about that! I took some pictures and videos of the working and non-working discs, not sure if its going to help (can't insert images for some reason) https://imgur.com/a/RK2ezh9 Cheers for helping me get to the bottom of this, has this ever been recognised before?

If you have managed to get the installation working, delete the Speech folder in the game directory and replace it with this: https://mega.nz/folder/OH5DnK4T#r285f93SppCcBXJ892SDPg If you would rather not have any voice acting, then just delete the speech folder Unfortunately this won't be enough to fix the problem, as the voice samples are taken straight from the CDrom and not the primary installation. Plus the game requires the CD in order to run the game. Thankfully there exists a no CD crack online to remedy this, but due to legal reasons I can't tell you where to look for it. But if you search for it, you should be able to find it. Once downloaded, overwrite the executable in the directory with the no cd executable and it should work without the CD. On a side note: If you want to keep the FMVs in the game, just copy the .avi files in the CDrom base directory into the main directory where you installed the game. Hopefully this fix make Jonathan not talk nearly as much. But if there are some missing voice samples you want included in the game, let me know and I'll try to work on it.
