Hello Y'all,

I'm tryin to make from 3 cd's of a game (e.g. Warhammer 40K) one dvd iso. So i put all of the files from the three cd's into one folder. If i run the installer directly from the folder it installs just fine without asking for the second/third cd. But if i make an iso of that folder and i install it again then it asks me for the second cd when all of the second/third cd files are in that iso. Whatsup with that?

Data2.cab was on the second cd and Data3.cab on the third. I've put them all in the folder of the first cd.

Anyone? Anyone? Is it some kind of cd copy protection or what?

[dazkrlauwste]

hmmm... that tough of a problem huh?

[Astalavista]

problem is easy u need to find the string using orca if it uses msi

but your problem will be if it uses safedisc or surecom protection.

u will need to hack the exe file.

not easy if u dont know what u are doing.

[dazkrlauwste]

How can i tell if it uses securom or safedisc protection?

Yes the installer is msi as u can see in the screenshot, but what do u mean "find the string using orca"?

[Astalavista]

a fine example is doom3

just google for it. we are not allow to talk about halking at msfn

[MCT]

orca is a windows installer editor

[dazkrlauwste]

Can u tell by looking at the screenie if there is some kind of protection in place?

[MCT]

i cant, maybe others can, but im sure "Crack" didnt come with the program

[dazkrlauwste]

no i put that there.

[MCT]

i know u did, but asking for help with cracked stuff would be illegal

[dazkrlauwste]

But i'm not asking for help witch cracked stuff, i just wanna know how to combine multiple game cd's into one fully functional gameiso, saves me space and cd's if i can just fix it al in one dvd image for example.

I have found orca but it looks pretty complicated.

[Astalavista]

take about a day to learn how to use ORCA it isn't that complicated

as i said before u need to google for doom3 + orca + DVD combine

I've tried the same thing on a couple occasions with hit and miss results. If I couldn't get a game to work in this way, I would make an image of each CD and burn that to a DVD. This way I still saved myself a couple CDs and I can always use something like Daemon tools to load the images when installing.

[Dreadnort]

Did you get my PM dazkrlauwste ?

[Astalavista]

but that would mean that u hv to use daemon tools or something similar

if u do it just right it will work on whatever machine and never ask for disc x y z

[dazkrlauwste]

So if this method works Deadnort then there wouldn't be any need for a cracked executable cuz it would run directly from the DVD right?

[Dreadnort]

No, it would still be needed, because the copy protection would be broken, because it was no longer an original disc.

[dazkrlauwste]

bummer.
