hi people, has anyone got a copy of bw2? is there gonna be a nocd fix or image for the game?
NO NO NO and NO
Its not released to the stores.
Warez is not supported here..
Yadda Yadda etc etc etc
and
etc
he never asked for warez,he asked if anybody has got it yet.
karakolis
06-10-2005, 15:27
because i saw that it will be released on 4th octomber for us thats why i asked.anyway i will buy the game when it is released.
Covering all bases.
If you seen the release date, why did you ask if anyone had it yet?
Which would mean a preview copy, i.e. advanced screening of a game.
If that got out it would be considered not legit, henceforth warez.
I didnt say you had it, making a point as it wouldnt be supported here for that fact.
no if you saw a release date of october 4th(it is now the 6th),but couldnt see it in any stores..you would be intrested if anybody had it,and were they got it from.
same as i will be on october the 21st if football manager is not on my local gamestation shelves!

why are u so mean dabhand? i didnt mean anything in my post. all i wanted to know if someone from us had it.i am from greece.thats why.i want to know if the game is out
Lordy here we go again..
1. Im refering to my initial post, and why I posted it.
2. I.e. refering to the post before he announced he thought it was 4th October, even when my reply is after his.
3. Im just pointing out (since I didnt realise he had his dates screwed up) that warez is not supported here, since at that time it looked like he was asking anyone if they had an advanced screening of the game and wondered if there was a crack. (Breaking rule 6 - 2 weeks)
4. It isnt really that difficult to understand.
5. The main one I forgot to type, he is from Greece, gaming is illegal there. So with that plus other evidence I gave out a warning incase the thread was heading that way.
I did not say he had warez, or was asking for warez.
it isent really hard to understand what he was asking,i understood it straight away,im sorry but he is right you are mean.
there should be a rule about people like you screaming warez in every single thread,it just deters outsiders finding the info they want.

06-10-2005, 15:52
gaming is illegal in greece???????????????? LOL.
Ill just refer the post to staff.
Not my fault nobody can understand what im saying.
And yes I knew what he was asking, but evidence before hand was lacking fully, and I basically laid out a couple of points so the thread wouldnt escalate into a possible warez thread.
gaming is illegal in greece???????????????? LOL.
Is it not? Funny I thought there was a law in Greece that bans computer games?
your thinking of antartica or something,or maybe uranus
your thinking of antartica or something,or maybe uranus

look at that... greece became famous. dear dabhand, gaming in greece was banned only in network places where people use to hang out.that was 2 years ago!and nobody banned home computer games.anyway a year ago gaming in network places was legal again.So dont say that gaming in greece is illegal.it never was for private use.also lucky games as poker and such were forbidden. :rolleyes:
Ahhhh righto :)
My bad, I thought it was generally all over greece. Or did they try to pass a complete ban at one point? About 2002/3 time?
Good to know only cybercafes etc.
still best to check up on google before making assumptions
Yes it is isnt it.
I said my bad, im at fault at that one. I admit the mistake. But I stand by my original post.
karakolis
06-10-2005, 16:08
u know greece is more free than the US. they cant forbid us anything,we have our way to make it legal again.private gaming was never threatend to bann.only cybercafes but although it was "banned" owners didnt like it and continued to supply the pcs with games.So it was legal again as nobody was obeying.Greece a beautiful country with a lot of legal games :cool:
and plate smashing :P and the europen championship trophey england should of won! :(

Baron 210
Got It yesterday. Shipped 2 days ago. Release date was the fourth. They had to send it to me or esle they would be breaking contract, and then I could sue them :P. Anyways, made a clone with my modded drive, normal one didnt work. I just read it, all options on, and it worked. Also made a mini image using my SC7 method. So anyways, just saying that it can be done. Now... I g2g throw some ppl on top of mountains :P. Cya in a day or 2 when I get off this addicting game lol.
haha its funny they closed my thread cause they said it had to wait (games only been out for like 2 days) >.> one day later we find out the clones are working :D I own the game personally but i thought since it was a recent release and a company that has alot of resources it might have provided some new challanges to the community. Seems i was mistaken ^^
Certainly easier than i thought with this sort of game.
Morbid
You mean cracking it??
It will be hard, no worries with that, but not impossible ;). And as for cloning, some ppl will have probelms 100%. I bet in 48 hours there will be ppl posting for a NoCD, and 1 month before they give up trying to find one. Im not saying a crack wont be rlsed for this, it might be...
Look, Im just glad for my mini images. I will never understand ppl who want cracks if they have the original copy of the game. Anyways, Im out :D

06-10-2005, 19:58
yea, belive it or not. i found that unlike other safedisc games were just using the first 3 errors is good enough. I hade to go up to sector 8000 or something. I just choose randomly because I was reading off of a image I created on my HD. SO the errors were zooming by really fast and I just hit stop when I felt like it and there ya go. It worked.
The only problem is that it's like 20 MB but it works! And it even has the autorun menu. (Not sure if that works.)
I'll upload one to GCW tonight.
DRAGoN.X
06-10-2005, 20:07
Managed to cut the file nearly in half. Its now 7MB instead of 20 and I'm sure that with Winrar it'll get even smaller. By the way, even the autorun menu even works.
Now here is the debate. Should I go for a smaller file but probably one with no auto-run or just leave it as it is and keep the autorun feature.
As far as I know, most of the buttons work. (except for install of course, it's only 7 MB)
@DABhand & Glenbo:
Please not again! Keep cool!
I would say you both ignore each other. If DABhand posts in a thread first, then Glenbo ignore the thread. And if Glenbo was in a thread before DABhand, the DABhand ignore the thread. OK?
If i had seen this thread earlier, i had deleted it. Because i can't understand what the simple question "Someone has the game?" has to do with Game Backups. But in the end it was a conversion about cloning & MiniImages, so i will let the thread stay. :cool:

Would someone mind commenting on the strange fact that mini-images are legal but full warez images are not. They are both copies of copyrighted material. From my knowledge of the law a copyright infringment suit is theoretically possible against those who distribute either mini-images or full ones.. And what about different laws in different contries. Cloning, hacking, imageing laws vary greatly from country to country...
Im a bit/byte confused....
Bit off topic might want to delete for the sake of this discussion.
Im sure you could find information on the net or perhaps in another section of the forums.

Does it perform well, I mean it looks a quite a memory hogger.
hmmm got a little question ... am i the only 1 having truble with the mini image?? i use the just downloaded version of DAEMON 3.47 uninstalled all other emulators set off all options of DEAMON and still get that it detects DVD and CD emulator software anyone got an idea on how i can fix this??

PWNED! :-P
1) He's NOT asking for warez copy of this game. I was also wondering if anyone else had a copy TWO days after the release...
2) Nowhere in his post did he even mention anything about downloading an illegal copy of the game.
3) Stop changing the topic and whining like a little kid to the admins when you CLEARLY got PWNED! :D
ANYWAY!
Does anyone know how to put this game onto DVD? Also, you do not need a no-CD patch for this game. It allows backups. ;)
Gonna have to step in here, Glenbo never said he had a warez version either.
Just to set the record straight :P

if u get an error about detecting dvd emulators as u start the game,i think that u must uninstall clonecd before trying to play bw2. i dont have the game yet so i just figure it out as i had the same problem with sims 2.
Is the game awesome?

07-10-2005, 11:08
when ever I got that message, were it detected the emulator. I:
1) Restarted the computer, then see if it worked.
2) Change the driver name of Daemon Tools/Alcohol. (Requires reinstall (and expert mode for alcohol))
I only got that error message once, and that was with Rome Total War. I restarted the computer and it then worked. Don't know why? It just started working (with the mini image).

It just worked for me to unmount and then remount image :cool: .

oke for all of you who have same problem as i had it worked for me 2 uninstal clone-CD so if u have it well uninstal it :o :o
Im also having some troubles with both mini images @ gamecopyworld.com, and i even tried to make a clonecd of my cd1, but whenever i mount it (both the real cd1, and both mini images) in daemon tools, i just get "Please enter the correct CD-rom" blah blah. I have no idea whats wrong, but all i can think of is some program installed or some registry thing or something? I have no idea actually :rolleyes: :confused: .
Help would be much appreciated.
Btw, i have newest D-Tools, 3.47.

08-10-2005, 08:41
Unitstall Clone CD, Make sure all the emulation options in Daemon Tools are turned off, then reboot computer.
If that dosn't work try Alcohol 120%.
http://www.alcohol-soft.com/
Also you might want to try reinstalling daemon tools with different driver names. Like just add a letter on the end of them.
dragonx :cool:
Will these work with the DVD version?
Got the game today, my this game is memory hungry, but I love the extra stuff you can do, and the army building.
Anyways, I made an image (full image, will try mini-image later), mounted it, run anti-blaxx, made a new setting for B&W2.
Ran it through Anti-Blaxx and didnt have a problem.
Just wondering why the game is a bit laggy with 2GB DDR and 7800 Card and 64bit CPU.
Ahh well, maybe I need a nice clean system boot :)
DRAGoN.X
08-10-2005, 12:42
It shouldn't be laggy with that setup. I have a 9800XT, 2800+ AMD Athlon XP and 1GB of ram. I have all the settings turned up and It's not really laggy at all! :D
To bad I can't use AA or anything like that. That would really be pushing my Video Card.
dragonx :cool:
Dunno why its laggy :(. I can rn it on all high, and all low, still has that little speech lag during the game :(. O well...
Yeah probably needs a clean reinstall again.
But at least Anti-Blaxx works with it :)
no matther what image i try... i keep getting the error: please insert the correct cd-rom
:mad:
anybody knows a trick?
Reboot works fine here if it starts giving me that message.
For anyone interested, I managed to make a 2 meg mini image for this game. Just fire up Alcohol,
Profile: Safedisc 2/3
Read Speed: 1x
Let it start, right away cancel the dumping process, save files, and there's your mini image. Worked for me like a charm :D.
PS Winrar compresses it down to 315 kb.

This game seem to turn out laggy for some and not others.
I have heard of several others it has been laggy for when playing on 7800GTX, A64, 2gb RAM and so on... Kinda strange I say...
I am not sure if I like the game yet or not, as I haven't tried it out yet... :p

You can upload it to GCW if you want. LINK
No need. All the mini images at GCW work fine :).
- Tried both images.
- Tried rebooting.
- Do not have Clonecd installed.
- mount image(s) using alcohol 120% 1.9.2
Still receive the "cannot locate CD" error....
I've mounted a lot of mini-images in the past, including R:TW, always worked then....
Can someone be kind enough to make a crack for this game.
You see alcohal and daemon doesn't support x64 systems so i have no way of emulating the game. :(
DRAGoN.X
09-10-2005, 16:12
The reason everybody can't get the image to work is because I think that they have blacklisted Alcohol's and Daemon tool's driver names. You could try reinstalling them with a changed driver name. (Like just add a letter to the end of both of them.)
dragonx :cool:

I spent the past 2 days getting the "Please insert the correct CD" error.
Turns out I had a program that was, for some reason, blacklisted. The guilty program was TweakXP Pro. I guess it's because it allows virtual drives and virtual hard drives, B&W2 decided to not allow it. After I uninstalled it worked fine with Alcohol 120%.
So check that all programs which can create virtual drives are uninstalled except Alcohol or Daemon Tools.
And for everyone experiencing slowdown, try updating your graphics drivers. It runs fine on my P4 2.8Ghz with 512MB of RAM and a Radeon 9600 non-pro with 128MB of RAM. I have it at the default resolution but with all effects turned up and I get around 25fps most of the time.
If you have a Radeon, make sure you don't have the Omega drivers installed, because they seem to screw it up. ATI's 5.9 work fine.

Just play with your original till Daemon Tools 4 is released later this month.
Hello,
I just sat here and read through all 5 pages on this topic, ;) and my question now is, do you have to mount this image at all? or is it like other NO CD cracks where you can just copy it over the original file to start the game?

do you have to mount this image at all? or is it like other NO CD cracks where you can just copy it over the original file to start the game?

just mount in daemon tools ar alcohol. A mini image is basically an image of the game with out all that pesky data. All it has is the protection so that the game thinks it's the real thing.

Thats a mini image, you mount it in Daemon Tools. The game then thinks its a cd. This means you dont need a new crack everytime a patch is released...
DRAGoN.X
14-10-2005, 11:31
I keep getting people who bitch about how it dosn't work. Well let me tell you how to MAKE IT WORK so people can stop being fck'n n00bs.
1.) It's a mini image, what the fck do you think you do with it. Just mount the dam thing in Daemon Tools or Alcohol.
Daemon Tools: http://cdmediaworld.com/hardware/cdrom/cd_utils_8.shtml#DAEMON%20Tools
Alcohol 120%: http://www.alcohol-soft.com/
2.) Use the desktop shortcut, or start menu shortcut, or the original exe in the install directory. (If you don't know were that is, use google.)
3.) This part I can understand. Uninstall Clone CD if you get an error in the beginning of start up like "insert correct cd" or something like that.
4.) If that doesn't work you could try something like Anti-blaxx because I think that it blacklists the alcohol and Daemon tools drivers.
5.) If you don't want to use Anti-Blaxx, then change the driver names in Alcohol or Daemon Tools. To do that you need to reinstall the program (expert mode in alcohol) and then just add a letter to each driver name (to keep it simple.)
I really hope that helps all you n00bs, I understand that we all start out as n00bs but I don't understand it "do I put the mini image in the install directory and it acts like a no-cd"? How do you even manage to turn on the fck'n computer if you ask stuff like that!
dragonx :cool:
P.S. I'm terribly sorry if I offended anyone but I just had to get that out of my system......***cough****fck'n noobs***cough****...........
P.S. #2: Read the .nfo, it says to mount the image in daemon or alcohol! (i think I put that there... I hope i did...)
-----edit-------

He then went on the answer your question. BTW, the moderators here care wether or not the copy is warez/pirated because if you mention that it is, they will most likely ban you and say just what DABhand said:

OK!
Yeah... as long as I disable Alcohol, it works with the original CD. But when I mount the Mini-Disk, it always says that it can't find the CD. And the few times where I get it to find the disk, it gives me the emulation found. When I use an original CD, it runs great. But when I use a burned copy, one of the many backup disks I need to make, since CDs die in my family, it goes to the splash screen and sits there. I've let it stew for over an hour before, and nothing changes. Help, please -.-'

Hiya guys,
This sort of related to the thread. I have a copy of B&W 2 and I have only been able to get hold of images instead of NO CD cracks. I have tried all the usual sites but to no avail.
I can't get the images to work with daemon or Alcohol. When I mount them and start the game it still says please install the correct CD.
What do i do?
Any ideas?
Also has anyine got any advice on creating a NO CD crack?

Use desktop/start menu shortcut and anti-blaxx with alcohol or daemon tools with the mini image mounted. That should fix your problem. You should have read the post before yours, I said the same dam thing, read before you post.
