You can only find a ripped Underdogs version online... I'm still looking for a real copy of the game.
My setup is the underdogs .zip + an audio CD image I made with the same exact tracks on the official release, the wavs which I found on a random old game soundtrack website. It works fine but I wish I had an actual copy of the game, physical or otherwise.

All 3 of their business sims look like they're worth translating, but you'll never find someone to work on them because all those faggots care about is getting attention from strangers on the internet which is why they never translate anything new anymore and just do "retranslations" of games that came out in English in the first place.
