RockRaiderWolf Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I understand that mine is the older version that requires a CD to play. Still it just drives me crazy that i don't get how an old game can tell that a virtual drive is not using a real cd when the computer sees no difference. PS: on a possibly related note what does the cd.key registry value file (or something like that) do that is in the data folder of cd? Edit:don't suppose removing the cd missing registry key would make it work huh? Got it working finally after using alcohol 52% (although I did have to remove a couple of "Potentially Unwanted Programs" after installing it. Now I can keep the CD for my old Laptop.

aidenpons Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Basically, look at the .icd size. Is it bigger than 0? You need a disk to run. If it's 0, then it doesn't. (Note that the RR CD can easily be copied onto another CD) The .exe works with the .icd - you can't just swap the .icd And since RRU doesn't like distributing .exe's (game files are fine), you're stuck with a CD-needed version. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JrMasterModelBuilder Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 The DRM you are up against is SafeDisc 1.0. You can use a program that can make a disc image that can compensate for weak-sectors, I believe Alcohol Soft's image burners are capable of this. Alternately, there is at least 1 program out there that an decrypt the SafeDisc ICD into the real EXE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry. I know that. if you read my post more closely I state that I know I have the version that requires the cd. The DRM you are up against is SafeDisc 1.0.

I wondered why it was saying something a bad sector when i tried to create an iso directly form the disk. I guess when i copied the files from the disk to a new folder it left that "bad sector" behind, explains the size difference. alright then thanks wish me luck.
