I have been trying to make a mini image but have had no luck...

I'm using the full image for now and it works fine.

Pansen

19-10-2006, 04:43

Hmm what happened? What was the problem that you couldnt create a mini image? got readingspeed probs or something?

Pansen

19-10-2006, 08:25

Talus, can you tell us what happened?

maybe we can help you to create that image. Dantohr and I was trying yesterday, too but unfortunatly we got a Problem with the readingspeed. If you don`t got the same problem im able to help you i think ^^.

Just tell us.

Talus

19-10-2006, 08:55

Yeah, I cannot set the reading speed when I try to create the image. I get NO error messages at all... I only get the option to skip errors.

If I try to stop the creation of the image at anything other than 100%, then the image does not work to load BF2142.

Pansen

19-10-2006, 09:27

damnit, we just got the same problem. But i think some people know how to make the image otherways.

Alcohol doesnt working for that :(

Alien Firefox

19-10-2006, 10:54

well i'd just love to help

only prob is i wouldnt know where to start

i know you germans are pretty good with this kinda stuff.

so i know yas will work something out.

oh and tell me something and off topic here for a sec

with the moh pacfic assault fixed mini image

its 200kb but when i look at the size after its been put on a image drive in alcohol i gtake a look at the size and it says 1.7gb or something

does this mean its uncompressed it to 1.7gb and is imaging that on my hard drive taking up 1.7gb or is it only taking up 200kb.

oh btw excuse my gramma i cant type to well so i havent the time to worry about spelling issues.

Pansen

19-10-2006, 11:00

Hmm i cant help you there, but please make your extra Thread for it. I think youll get more feedback if the Topic is named like the game you have problems with.

this thread only exists to get a mini image or some help for our problem with the readingspeed that is locked for us.

Thx!

I would take any kind of working image, mini or not. I'm also willing to give out an FTP server for someone to upload it if it's too big.

I know some people have had the game working with a full image, but that's where the reading speed comes into play and I can't get it to work whatsoever.

19-10-2006, 14:46

this fakking new safedisc bans all v-drives, so we must wait for a new daemon to come up. big respect from me if you could bypass this though :)

Pansen

19-10-2006, 14:51

Macio the problem is, we cant even create the mini image, if bf2142 doesnt accept the mini-image then it would be another problem but at first we need to get a fixed image.

And thats not easy dude, im just searching for hours every day but nothing. I also searched Russiansites and i cant even read that crappy language.

Does anyone have a good torrent link to download the full fixed image for 2142?

genes|s

19-10-2006, 18:27

Good news, the game works with CD/DVD Rom physically removed. I loaded the image in DT and it worked. Even better news is, I plugged the drive back in and disabled it in Device Manager, the game works like a charm.

Now I don't know how to disable CD/DVD Rom via registry. Could setup a script to disable the drive whenever the game is launched. Problem solved.

Please help with drive disable hack in registry.

EDIT: Ok so once the cdrom is working and I disable it, I have to restart the computer with the drive disabled. Once the drive is disabled on restart, I can enable and disable it and 2142 will work, of course while it's disabled. But if the drive is enabled on restart, disabling it without restart won't work.

So for the people that it's not working, can you disable the drive in Device Manager and restart the computer? See if that works? It worked for me, several times.

i disalbed my cd/dvd rom in device manager and i loaded my bf2142 razor image in daemon tools (i have applyed the patch 1.01 and the crack 1.01 no cd), but i can't connect to my profile. i have bought an original cd key, so what can i do to play this game? (sorry for my bad english, i'm italian)

genes|s

19-10-2006, 19:09

Don't apply the nocd patch when you have the image in DT loaded. That nocd patch is only for offline play. Restore your original exe file and you'll be set.

19-10-2006, 19:56

hey you cant play online with a fixed exe thats why you need to used a fixed image

if u keep trying to your cd key will be banned.

use alcohol 120% 1.9.5 build 4521.

since its dvd you dont have a protection profile to choose so you'll have to just make the image then copy it to the image drive and it should work.

Here in Australia the game was only released yesterday so i have pre ordered it but its gonna take a week to get here. which sucks.

hey folks i have an idea

have any of yas used gamejack. it will allow you to create a image file and you can then use this special program within it to run the game off a fixed dvd disk.

good think is this will allow yas to create a backup.

problem with me in i dont want to waste 3 gigs on a image as that makes the game equal 6 gigs. so thats why i need a mini image.

btw pansen i been on russian sites too i cant make sence of it myself lol or german sites for that matter.

i speak 2 languages english and very bad english.

anyways thanks folks and i'll sit back and see how things go i cant help anymore as i dotn have the game yet but i'll have me it next week.

gamejack shouldnt be blocked out by the protection btw
the protection is Safedisc V4

I got my bf2142 delivered online but the dvd came broken and I can't get a refund.

I really need a mini-image so I can play online. There has to be a way...

Are you saying if I ask for another disk they will just give me one?

Because all I really have is my cd-key and my receipt in my email.

Joe Forster/STA

20-10-2006, 02:01

You need to show/send them a proof of purchase: broken DVD, invoice etc. Ask them for details.

bart5986

20-10-2006, 02:17

great, I don't even have the dvd anymore. The invoice alone might work though.

So is a mini-image possible?

20-10-2006, 02:24

What is the file i edit to type razor1911 in. Is it the following file -
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Battlefield 2142\Profiles\Default then profile.con

I have the original dvd just got it today, well my brother got it and has lent it to me so i can try out single player only. So i DL the nocd and read the readme file and told me to edit the profile.con

well it says this:
Unpack Default_profile.zip into %USERPROFILE%\My Documents\Battlefield 2142\.
Then open %USERPROFILE%\My Documents\Battlefield 2142\Profiles\0001\Profile.con
with a text editor and change its content to your likings.

******************************
As you can see in my one it has no 0001 folder it goes straight to Profile.con. When i edit it and start up BF2142 then log in Razor1911, what password word do i enter? I chose anything, then hit ok and it says going to singleplayer blah blah - then says something about profile not found. So i cannot get into single player.

I dont want to play multi - i can't even if i wanted as i have 56k! lol

How do i get to play SP?

Also if this dont work can this game have two accounts under the same key? AS i could just go online and create my own for single player while my brother can still play online.?

TIA

Pansen

20-10-2006, 02:29

Even if its not the right Thread for that post...No! you cant register 2 accounts with the same CDkey. EA fixed that problem from BF2 and 1942. But if you use the Nocd crack youll not be able to connect to the internet you can only play the single player and i think the singleplayer sucks. Coz you cant get rewards and always have the same equip etc.

nightsurfa

20-10-2006, 02:31

I think its closed. (locked) i read that thread.

nightsurfa

20-10-2006, 02:43

Whoops sorry i have hijacked this thread okay i'll keep trying im probably doing something wrong.

Just one last word

Yep but im getting BroadBand in Dec then i'll buy my own copy, meanwhile i just wanted to try the single player out, also their be some single player mods coming out sooner or later, such as the 32 to 64 player maps mods which opened up for SP like there was for BF2, but yes it sucks now yet give or take a few months ( hopefully weeks :) ) these mods will start showing up on the net then single player will be as good as it was in BF2. By then i should be playing multi. There will also be weapons unlocker for SP sooner or later.

Anyways the razor1911 trick must work otherwise these guys wouldn't write it up for us.

Cheers

20-10-2006, 04:20

Yeah but i hope you know, that Punkbuster scanning the exe data and if its currupted (not original) your CDkey can get banned, and i dont want that!.

So i better play with a DvD and wait for a mini image before i my cdkey get banned -.-

bart5986

20-10-2006, 04:30

nope its been fine, i've played on punkbuster and stuff, all working :)

I think its the EA downloader Exe... :D

Alien Firefox

20-10-2006, 05:24

hmmm the ea downloader exe might actually work ya know

but it'll be chnaged as soon as the next patch comes out

ea downloader is up to date with 1.01

but bf2142 will likely have about 20 patches before the end of its time so that fixed exe will work till 1.02 patch comes out in like 3 weeks time.

the idea of a fixed image to so that the game is not modified.

if the exe file or any other file in the game is modified other then profile files then punkbuster will pick it up thats why 40.000 cd keys where banned from bf2 mate.

a fixed image makes punkbuster think its the original disk because no files have been modified.

if you wish to play single player then a fixed exe will work. and there must be some crack out there to allow you to unlock all the weapons and everything for single player mode.

anyways has anyone tried gamejack yet?

myckee

20-10-2006, 07:15

I wasn't able to make a mini image, but I was able to make a full image. And, out of curiosity, I tried that exe that someone posted previously, and can confirm that it will start the game and allow you to log in. I did not actually go into a game using it. I do not know if it is an ea downloader exe or not. If so, it is probably safe to use. If not, then if punkbuster kicks you too many times, your cd key will get banned.

Pansen

20-10-2006, 08:02

Anyway the EA Downloader exe file is ok. You can play with it and i love it ^^.

So just Download that exe and keep on playing :P

20-10-2006, 10:31

We all know that since it is EA, it will likely be months before a new patch. I'm sure someone will share the ea downloader exe when that happens anyway..just like now.

Wouldn't you be able to play WITHOUT the DVD by using the EA Downloader ? I mean get the Retail DVD but use the EA downloader and download the game? I was thinking about doing this, can someone confirm if this gonna work before i buy the retail DVD.

It doesn't work like that. You have to first purchase a game through EA's website, and then that purchase is tied to your EA account. Then you use the EA Downloader, log into your account, and the downloader sees what purchases you have made.

Just downloading the EA downloader itself doesn't give you access to any retail content.

Ok, let me rephrase it. What about if you know someone that purchased the online version and then he backups those files? You then just copy and use YOUR own account that you've created with your dvd purchase? Is that possible?

Isn't this similar to CS:S?

I checked up on that file from bart5986.. It is identicle to the Razor1911 v1.01 fixed exe including the coded Razor tags inside the exe. So I don't know how he gets it to work online ???

Is it possible then that Razor's version was based on the EA Downloader exe, rather than cracked from scratch?

Hmmm, I'm more willing to try it now, but I still worry about Punkbuster banning me from servers if this is only an SP crack.

Trust me, its a working crack. Punkbuster hasn't said anything about it and i've played for 7 hours, its fully legit.

all i want is a mini image. im damned if im pay 70 bucks on a game just to have it banned.

I have no problems with PB or something, the rankings are working and so on EVERITHING IS WORKING.

Why you all say that PB will ban you? Show me one EA statement or PB Statement oder Article where they say that you will be banned after some days when you use a cracked exe.

PB is looking for hoocked cheats and not for the original exe. cheats are never in the game file. they are separate as a hook or something.

right....lots of posts makes someone's word trustworthy. This is the internet dude. You can't trust anyone. Its not the spoon that bends, its your mind.

And, for the sake of argument, even if it didn't work, and punkbuster kicked you one time, you think that means your cd key is banned...after one time? Get serious. People get kicked by punkbuster many times for many things.

Anyway I used Alcohol to make a working image, but I did try the exe, and it did work. Oh ya, and I have a low post count.

Actually, a lot of posts on this forum do make you trustworthy, as the deadbeats who steal games or try to pass off trojans as cracks get banned in short order.

Yes, PB doesn't ban you for one offense, but many servers have their own scripts that record that one offense and then put you on their autokick list. The server that some friends of mine administer uses this very type of script, along with a registration script, to keep the smacktards away.

And don't use any Matrix references if you want to be taken seriously.

dont use shitty analogies from the matrix mate

pb allows a certain amount of uses before it detects it.

unless its an actually fixed exe it'll detect it kick you from the bf2142 servers and tll u you have a messed up exe file.

and theres pretty high chances that the ea fownloader exe file wont work with future versions of the dvd version of bf2142.

The difference between the two of us is that you actually care what people think of you. You'll grow out of that by the time you start shaving...maybe. You might also understand humour by then too.

Some advice, my young friend, anyone posting on this forum, and benefitting from any information posted here, is engaging in illegal activity.

For example, it is illegal to decompile, modify, and distribute the intellectual property of EA games. That property, is, but not limited to, the exe of BF2142, or any other game exe or file, for that matter. This site allows such activities to occur.

This site hosts tutorials on how to bypass, crack, or hack, copy protection from the intellectual property of game companies, and security companies.

This site has porn banners at the top of the page.

This site is affiliated/owned by gamecopyworld, the largest proliferator of hacked exe's. Hacked exe's provided by the many warez groups.

But....this site will ban someone for admitting that they downloaded a game.

LOL and you feel that someone who posts here a lot is trustworthy.

Virtual CD v8 : Options: Everything set on "Automatic" and "read CD Geometrie". The Image has ending ".vc4". Iso don't work, because you can't read cd geometrie with .iso.

That's it. I was surprised how easy. First try and it works. Alcohol didn't work.
You don't have to disable cd-roms or something like that !!!

I've heard, the programm works with gothic 3, too. I test it later.

Virtual CD v8 runterladen.Habe alles auf automatisch bei den Settings eingestellt, Häkchen bei "Geometrie Daten lesen" und das war's. Image hat .vc4 Format. "Iso Format" funzt nicht, da bei Iso keine Geometrie Daten gelesen werden können. Lästiges Deaktivieren von Laufwerken oder sowas entfällt auch !

anyone posting on this forum, and benefitting from any information posted here, is engaging in illegal activity.
Regardless of what you may think of the legalities of decompiling, modifying etc we are all still allowed and entitled to create one working backup of our expensive DVD/CD's.
It is the publishers who force us to use modified files because of their protections.
If they really wanted to play fair they would supply us with 2 copies of the game. Then none of us would have an excuse to use modified files.

We can not stop people from downloading or using warez, what people do is entirely up to them, but we can stop them from talking about it on these forums. Discussing warez is not tolerated on these forums.

Many countries have different laws, I come from a country which allows me to create a backup. Most times I have to use a crack to make that backup work. That in my opinion is the fault of the publishers!

Brings me to the question! Why did you originally come and visit Fileforums? Was it to maybe obtain a crack!? ;)

Tried to make a backup with alcohol 120%(the latest version) but it dosen't work.

Everytime i try to launch bf2142, it says that i need to have the dvd in my drive.

Yes, i've tried to use pr0t.stop and i've tried to disable my plextor dvd drive. But it dosen't work.

So i wonder if i've overlooked some options or maybe my dvd writer is just unable to make functioning image backup?

Edit: And when i want to make the image of bf2142, why can't i choose which cd protection to do it with? like i know its possible to choose "safedisc" but that options is gone.

@myckee mate if grumpy was any kind of moderator and this is not actually directed to grumpy this is an opinion he would have you banned.

if i buy a game its mine i have every right to use fixed exe for it or a fixed image.

if the publishers dont like that then they can buy it back off me but until that happens i own that data on the disk.

if punlishers have an issue with that then as i said they can buy it off me

i have a original copy of manhunt and postal 2 both banned in australia

but there mine until the company that made them illegal in the great country of australia buys them back.

hope you understand this mate anyone witha quarter of a brain would.

Virtual CD 8 is capable of remapping its virtual drive to a physical one, thats why the SCSI blacklisting of SD doesn't work here. Using Alcohol's/DT's virtual drive one has to deactivate optical drives in devive manager.

btw. there is no need to read "CD/DVD Geometrie" (Topology/Data position) as Safedisc media don't have special physical characteristics like e.g. Securom or Starforce ones.

Virtual CD v8 runterladen (gibt's kostenlos bei ....).There is a difference between free and stolen.

@myckee, Alien Firefox and Yummy Sprinkles

The three of you need to calm down a bit. It is pointless to argue over these sorts of issues.
Normally people will never agree on the same thing.

@Alien Firefox
I do want to correct something you have said.
if the publishers dont like that then they can buy it back off me but until that happens i own that data on the disk.
Under no circumstances do you ever 'own' the data on the disc! You will only ever own a 'license' which allows you to use the data on that disc and it can only be used on the one PC at a time.
Thats just how it is. ;)

Also, and some may find this hard to believe, but I do not enjoy banning people. I will only ban people if they have broken one of the more serious forum rules.
If people were to take the time to read and understand the forum rules then no-one would ever be banned.
Rarely does a long term member get banned as they are aware of and abide by these rules.

@myckee
On this particular forum those with the higher post counts or those who have been a regular contributer for many years are normally the more trusted people. But that is not to say newer people cannot be trusted.
Bad information is usually scrutinized very quickly here so we soon know who to trust and who not too.
Like anywhere it takes time to learn who to trust, that is a part of everyday life, even away from the net. ;)

@Yummy Sprinkles
Honestly if you dont agree with what myckee has to say then yes feel free to say so but please dont get in to a flaming war, especially about myckee's country.

Hey, it was just a joke. I don't think there's much harm in speculating there may be little to do in someones home country.

@grumpy then they can buy it back.

also all moderators enjoy banning people cause they all enjoy having power.

@everyone else

there is a way to make a working backup of this game

use 5star Game Copy

it'll emulate it for you

but you'll need to run it off a backup dvd

and not off an image

its a way to run a backup of the game and works pretty bloody good.

but i still need a fixed image otherwise i may as well just use the original dvd

afterall since i only own a licence to it the company has to send me out a new disk anyways free of charge too

Being a forums and server admin for a UT/BF2/FEAR based multigaming clan, I can say for sure that ALL mods and admins with more than a few months experience would prefer that everyone follow the rules. This makes everyone's life much eaiser and removes the natural suspicion that surrounds new people.

@Alien Firefox.... the Gamejack idea is a good one. My concern is my 3 yr old... known as Gramma's Revenge. He's payback for when I was a kid. He has destroyed 4 CD's/DVD's already. And these were hidden.

At about 25 cents each I don't mind making a half dozen backup disks, so if Gamejack will run them properly then PERFECT. Granted it's easier to load an image...

With regards to the publishers most are very easy to have replace the disk. They sometimes ask that you pay a small shipping and handling fee, but sometimes they simply replace them without asking at all.

Solwayuk

22-10-2006, 10:27

OK here's how to do it

Bf2142 has SafeDisc 4.70.000, so no Mini images or anti blacklisting don't works, until they update.

So...

Make a full image with Alcohol 120%, call it the same as the original disc.
I ticked skip read errors, and advance sector scanning.
When its done, download the latest daemon tools.
Mount the image.
Now in order for it to work, disable all REAL hardware optical drives via device manger (admin tools, or control panel>system) right click and go disable.

now it should work.

This is only to be used if you have Brought Original Game. and are only using it for a no-CD/DVD options, to keep the disc safe from damage.

Use your own disc to create the image, since the image would be 3.4gb.

Megaschwanz

22-10-2006, 11:28

Ok, I used CD virtual V8 and followed your instructions and I've got the following;
Now what do I do?

Put The Image in your new virtual drive. You must start Virtual CD v8. You can't double click in the folder of your explorer. Start vCD8 !

Megaschwanz

22-10-2006, 12:01

.... there is no need to read "CD/DVD Geometrie" (Topology/Data position) as Safedisc media don't have special physical characteristics like e.g. Securom or Starforce ones.

There is a difference between free and stolen.

o.k. maybe the image works without reading cd geometry. But I thought it would be better to turn on this function (read all wrong sectors of Safe Disk :confused: )

You can't buy this programm legal in germany ;) Against Law.
And I only use it temporarly, till a mini image appears :D

Hey Folks! Finally i did it!!!

Playing BF2142 without DVD! with your own DVD copies
i was using Alcohol 120% to make the images file but it show that it still required CD to play

That was the story begin , i try to use Daemon Tools(Newest version) as Decoy , then i was installed in my computer and open all Emulation menu "But! not mount any images on it!" (and don't create and new Virtual drive too, disable all new Virtual drive ASAP!.)

from the begining...i already have Alcohol 120% mount with my Bf2142 images , suddenly i was try to Start the game again without CD and IT WORK!!!

That game never ask me for that damn stupid CD anymore!!
sorry about my bad language but i hope everybody will slove this problem like i done

or else...hope that someone can disarm Safedisc v4 protection and create mini images to your guys soon

Just to clear things up...

anyone posting on this forum, and benefitting from any information posted here, is engaging in illegal activity.

... in some countries.

For example, it is illegal to decompile, modify, and distribute the intellectual property of EA games.

... in some countries. Did you know that countries have different laws? Did you know that mpsearch.ru, from which you could download MP3's for free, was (is?) legal in Russia, no matter what those fuckheads in the USA (MPAA, RIAA, whatever) say?

This site has porn banners at the top of the page.

... which has nothing to do with games, illegal activities or anything else you mentioned. So, what's your point?

This site is affiliated/owned by gamecopyworld, the largest proliferator of hacked exe's. Hacked exe's provided by the many warez groups.

Do you understand that there's a great difference between A) creating, B) distributing and C) using cracks, from law's point of view? I would say that B) distributing may be the one that is illegal in the least number of countries...

But....this site will ban someone for admitting that they downloaded a game.

If you think you're so smart, please, sit for ten minutes in complete silence, and find out the reason. Hint: direct and indirect breach of the law...

actually its possible, provided the image is burned using rmps.. that way the alcohol / daemon driver is still present (and thus able to do the rmps stuff), yet no virtual drives will be made (and rmps emulation being turned on of course, but for daemon 4.06 i think it actually does some stuff 'automatically'...)

sorry for my bad work
i said to mount the images by Alcohol 120% and then install Deamon Tools
you will have C,D as logic drive and F: for Alcohol's Vitrual driver
but when you install Daemon tools . it will build new virtual drive as G,H,bra bra bra...

Just Disable it!! use alcohol virtual drive only!! and Emulation Option by Daemon Tools
If you combine it well , you will can play Battlefield 2142 with ya own Images copies

edit::i already test in 2 more computer and it 100% PASSED!!

The Process goes here...
When SafeDisc v4 try to detect your Virtual drive 's programs. they will see that we have Daemon Tools but no images mouted without scaning Alcohol's Virtual drive
then the protector will unsure that our backup are REAL DVD or not because they scan the drive and found nothing in my com
Now we will can play through~

Like whats been said about it, it is a clone of other programs, so infact since its a clone how can it be better than its predecessors?

Anyways, since no fixed exe for your other question, I suppose you can use your amazing piece of software to burn back ups and use them, thus you original is still intact.

you caused the topic shift because of your ill informed fan-boy rants about 5 star..

mini image of bf2142 is seemingly difficult, however other users have found a full image using alcohol works... (albeit the dvd version seems harder to backup), and apparently you also need anti blacklisting tools

http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/showthread.php?t=14442&highlight=2142

try that thread... and you'll see that other people post that mini images simply do not work anymore.. so you're stuck with full image for the time being..

other people report that game jackal also works, however the image it produces is about 3 gig..

so i think its pretty obvious mini image = no workie...

5 star == alcohol!, alcohol does not have 'protection type' settings for dvd's simply because you're expected to know to use rmps (or check the alc/dt forum)..

blindwrite has only one type as it works using ez play and topology recording

5 star is not the 'saviour' you make it out to be for securom 7 games, infact, secu 7 detects the drive from 5 star as being virtual....

and you ARE defending it like mad, even though it really seems you dont know much about whats 'under the hood' when it comes to 5 star...

method used ->

with my DVD-RW disk

firstly rw disks are not a good 'candidate' for testing copy protection signatures etc..,

secondly 5 star / gamejack cheat a little, their code can modify known protection versions (ie: not the latest, typically old safedisc versions and old securom) and they apply all sorts of 'tricks' to make the cdcheck pass - for safedisc they try faking the code so its like a 'no-cd' trick on safedisc, i know this because i know one of the developers, and making images is also hardware dependant so really you haven't proved your point at all

'same protection version'.. since when was safedisc 4.5 = safedisc 4.7? 4.7 has a lot of new stuff added...

with my DVD-RW disk

with alcohol i made a copy of quake 4 (since that has the same protection as bf2142 only its a differant build number like quake 4 is v4.5 and bf2142 is safedisk v4.7.

anyways to prove the point

i did a backup copy of quake 4 with rtms on and it didnt work (with alcohol)

then i erased the disk and made a backup copy of quake 4 again with (5star) on that same dvd-rw disk

and with emulation it works perfectly.

the alcohol backup i also tried emulating with 5star and it didnt work.

clearly 5star is much better for making backup dvd's

though alcohol is better for using images

You answered yourself there, Alcohol tries to backup the entire disc, 5star does the same, but uses software emulation so you see it doesnt backup the game 100%.

Try your backup without 5star, does it work? course not.

All 5star is, is A120% and DT and VirtualCD(or similar) rolled into one, that is all.

I play all my BF games online without the original CD/DVD in the drive. It's the legal/unique cd key that allows you to play online.

No information provided here will let you bypass the need for a CD key though ;)

I think everyone here have the CDKEY, meaning we're bought the game somehow, now the question is how to play without the DVD, maybe you can elaborate about how you do it?

I am just wondering since no one mentionned it, but what about if someone post the file that you download with EAD? Now i know that you won't be able to access it since you didn't purchase with EAD, but what about if we just rename it to let say the patch and execute it from there(click on patch link on EAD)? Or is there any other way to execute the EAC file?

i just said its a way to do it.

and i was using safedsic 4.5 as an an example

because 5star could do it and alcohol couldnt

read my posts abit better you idiot.

anyways there must be a cracker out there that can make this mini image.

i remember with older games if u replaced the exe file with the fixed exe file on the actual disk you didnt have to have the exe copied on ur computer to be cracked.

the cracked exe file on the disk actually bypassed the protection that was on the orginal exe that was in the game directory.

so maybe someone can use that to create a fixed image

mini image isn´t possible with safedisc 4.70 anymore, downloading a full image is against the rules.

Hey guys, I have been searching for an image of some sort but had no luck (And wondered why) This topic has answered my question of mini images not working but I have a problem - Basically, I dont have a drive that can read DvDs so I install all my games over the network off my brothers computer. This means that I need to find no-cd patches/images for every game I play pretty much. Is there any way I could make a full image over the network or something like that...Im able to access the DVD files so I could copy everything BF2142 needs to startup onto my computer if needed. Also, can anyone point me in the direction of guides on how to make a full image?

you could try the starwind thing in daemon tools, but well, you'd probably have less headaches if you went out and bought a dvd drive.. they aren't too expensive these days...

Powerfox

25-10-2006, 05:06

Well im planning to get one soon...Also, I have no knowledge of how to make an image, only how to mount them so I dont understand what you mean by using Starwind. Also, I just had a look and I dont see anything called starwind

Check a previous post I made to you on how to enable to mount onto real drives.

Nonono dude, I mean It says the E;/ drive is in use, I can't enable it or use it :(
Would this help my FPS at all? It's already working without the DVD on the D;/ drive but not a great performance boost.

Hey im a new guy i have been following your guys thread about the battlefield 2142 problem well mini image doesn't work but if you follow the instructions here using Game Jackal you have to have it fully updated to do this.

Fire up regedit, and explore to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Jacal\Maplom
Then change the registry value for the 'File Buffer Mode' entry to 0 rather than 511.

Use automatic mode with image mode checked when you creat a game file. and then it truly does work i have wasted 3 days looking for this.

Hi all,
I dont understand why you all want a mini-image?!?:confused:
If i am right all of you want to play without the original dvd but play online,
not like with the razor1911 nocdcrack.:rolleyes:
So why you dont use the nocd crack ""powerd by EA"":D
I mean everyone of you got a legal key and so every one of you can
use the ea downloader......the BF2142.exe from the eadownloader
never will ask you for a cd/dvd "COUSE THERE IS NO DVD"!!!!!!
I buy my game at the first day it was out.I registred it by ea,
used the downloader just the first time to install it and get the exe
and i NEVER had to use my dvd to play the game!!;)
So wtf you need a mini-image for??????:confused: :confused: :confused:

Uhhm my fault sry.:mad:
You must own the downloadable version.I dont thougt about this!
With this version its like the bf2 booster packs!
No cd/dvd just the downloadcode.
I thougt with the retail key you can download it too! sry again!
But when a admin or mod say that it is ok, i can upp the exe and post a link where you can download it!

Bye

Valium

26-10-2006, 14:59

I think it shoud work after the next patch too
couse the exe is NOT fixed!!! It´s just the exe from
the game that loaded by the ea downloader and thats
why it dont ask for a cd/dvd! When the next patch comes
and it dosent work try renameing the exe to BF2142Pace.exe
and then run the patch and rename back after patching.
BF2142Pace.exe is the original name by the downloaded version!!!:D

I agree with valium, I'm not sure but when you patch the patching detects which exe it is retail or downloaded and patched accordingly.

I have purchased BF2142 through EA downloader, but I've downloaded it 3 times (20+ hours each... I'm living in China ATM) and all 3 times they were corrupt.

So I used a fixed image and installed the DVD version with the legit CDkey from EA downloader. Now I'm stuck.

Could someone stick the EA downloader .exe on rapidshare or something?

Joe Forster/STA

27-10-2006, 08:05

You bought the game twice, by also buying the DVD?!

Genome852

27-10-2006, 08:07

Hold on... one of the links valium sent me for the EAD downloader was <CRAP LINK>

Which is a no-cd crack... posted by bart (now banned) earlier...

You bought the game twice, by also buying the DVD?!

Nope, torrent.

---
EDIT:
Hmm I don't think people should use the .exe by Valium... bart posted the link before Valium even signed up, meaning it was obviously not valium who uploaded the file, therefore it is not the file from EA downloader.

And also another guy confirmed that this is identicle to the razor1911 1.01 crack, even with the coded razor tags inside it.

Do not download, it's a fake.

27-10-2006, 08:28

Both files were modified on the same time in winRar.. 10/19/06 4:53pm.
Same MD5 as well.

Both are the same file then right? And since we know the one from rapidshare is a razor cracked EXE, that means the other link is also the same cracked exe.

ok, what am i doing wrong?

i used ultraiso to make an iso and mdf image of my official bf2142 dvd.

i have tried mounting the iso and the mdf, both with slysoft virtual clonedrive and daemon tools (newest version).

i have tried with and without disabling my real drives, both thru device manager and with microsoft's devcon x86.

i have tried rebooting several times, but nothing works. every time i start the game it asks for the dvd.

grr...

Make a full image with Alcohol 120%, call it the same as the original disc.
I ticked skip read errors, and advance sector scanning.
When its done, download the latest daemon tools.
Mount the image.
Now in order for it to work, disable all REAL hardware optical drives via device manger (admin tools, or control panel>system) right click and go disable.

now it should work.

This is only to be used if you have Bought Original Game. and are only using it for a no-CD/DVD options, to keep the disc safe from damage.

Use your own disc to create the image, since the image would be 3.4gb.

Thanks for the above solway, worked as stated. I didn't even use Daemon Tools just mounted it in Alcohol 120% and the game loaded. Now I can play BF2142 at home and at work :)

Hi guys,
I haven't got this game yet (buying it on the weekend) but I'm curious as to how this method works. From what I can tell Daemon Tools doesn't work with SafeDisc 4.7 (unless I have the wrong version?). How many people have succesfully used this method?

bushstar

01-11-2006, 02:19

Does not work with Daemon Tools for me, I have the latest version. But it does work when I mount it in Alcohol 120.

Trick is that you need to disable all physical drives so the only drive you have is a virtual one, this seems to be key to getting this thing past Safedisk, not sure why but it seems to be well known if you look around the net. Like this link posted earlier.

http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/showthread.php?t=14442&highlight=2142

I made my own image from my DVD like solwayuk said and all works well. Others have got this to work. Seems the only way forward is a full image, razors image does not work as a full image for some reason.

Grumpy

01-11-2006, 05:46

razors image does not work as a full image
Why are you using a warez image if you have the original DVD!!??

bushstar

01-11-2006, 06:52

I wanted to play BF2142 in 2 places but only had one DVD. I did not want to move the DVD back and forth or even have to use a DVD at all.

So I tried razor's image, this did not work but thanks to a couple of helpful posts in this long thread I've made my own working image.

I did not know that making a working image could actually be a fairly painless procedure.

So now I can play in both places using my one serial and my backup image :)

bushstar

03-11-2006, 04:10

Don't forget that you have to disable your physical drives in device manager first.

Don't bother with the Valium exe as it is not the EA Downloader exe, we still do not know if that would work.

bushstar

06-11-2006, 07:20

This same exe keeps popping up again and again, we have had people in this post trying to pass it off as the EA Downloader exe (Valium).

Can no one actually verify if the EA Downloader exe works?

If anyone has the EA Downloader version of BF2142 please PM me?

I guess if your using the EA Downloader version your probably not browsing this topic anyway :) Maybe I should ask around on a BF board but I'm sure if it did work the EA Downloader exe would be around everywhere.

Confused2

06-11-2006, 18:07

Wouldn't you think it would be easy enough for EA to keep track of who actually downloaded via EA Downloader versus those that didn't? I don't know if this is actually being done, but if it were, then no one except the legit EA Downloader purchasers could use that EXE.

EAlink exe version of BF2142 ver. 1.0 is uploaded on GCW.

How I can check if it is uploaded correctly?

Put it in game directory and run patch 1.01 again. It will be updated to 1.01.
And there is one more thing. Change your desktop shortcut from BF2142.exe to BF2142Pace.exe

It looks like this BF2142Pace.exe is bound with eagames-bf2142-online_content-bf2142_na.ilf license file and can't work without it.
This license file is generated from EAlink software and it contains data obtained from my computer. That means only I can use it.
It’s almost impossible to decrypt content from this file. :mad:

Thanks,

why cant they create ? or was that a typo ?

i use the ******* image(the ********* image wont work for that), altrough i have 2 pc's and only one of them works with it
image has to be BURNED, using virtual drives in 2142 is exremly dificult, not wort the trouble a DVDR is 20cent

did not risk 1.05 yet, i still be able to play 1.01 ranked, but i think the image will work on 1.06 as well... i hope

(i only got the original cd-key to save on shipping)

I am just passing this on because I know some people were having problems getting a mounted image to work. Myself I have a scratched DVD that kept having read errors, this was a great solution for me.

The image I had mounted for 2142 with Daemon tools worked great until 1.05/1.06. The image I got from the torrent works great for 1.06; also DVD burner is still over $50 in Canada where I live. I'm not going to start buying a DVD drive for each game I play, that just doubles the cost of the game in my mind.

i think the mods are overdoing their work
I got a valid cd key because i bought it and if i tell em to send the cd key it will cost a lot for me( im in argentina)
so a crack or a mini/maxi image dont ve to be related to warez

Im still trying to mount the maxi image release in that site and i cant pass the game startup.

I tried to use a maxi image, but it still asks for my original DVD (which i have) I only have a SATA DVD RW but i disabled that just in case. I made a Maxi image, with Alcohol 120% mounted it with Alcohol 120% but it doesn't work.

Could anyone help me, Thanks

(Add me on xfire if that's easier for you: 1211x ) thanks

just found out about gamejackal. Not free software though but it can create a mini image for bf2142. I just finished making an image and the resulting image is 10mb:D :D Just saved 3.5gb

Hi all

I'm going to a lanparty this weekend and i don't wanna carry my original DVDs to play, as it is a 3 day event, i'm not going to be in front of a computer the whole time (gotta sleep sometime) and i dont wanna leave anything hanging around my puter. I have my original DVD of 2142, what can I do with it? how can I do it?

thanks, PW

the image i have is made with blindwrite6
try it out

the only problem i seem to have that it only works on the drive i burn the image with... but i did use the trashiest/cheapest DVDR to burn i had

so make a backup copy of your original DVD

@pweasel: Your request is pretty much against forum rule #1. Read it carefully! (Also, think about what happens if the "software police" breaks in and you're playing the gam without any original DVd in sight... ;))

well in worse case scenario the police would temporary confiscate his pc, then he would have to bring proof of ownership, then his pc would be released,
it is a bit annoying that one have to run around but not an impossible task

but in case of 2142 there is an easier way where one can proof ownership

if you have internet: simply log in to ea.com, click on "get in ea nation", then "log in", "account info"
and there is all the info the police will need even before any trouble would happen

or if you don’t have internet access on the lan party, probably a copy of purchase receipt will do

although so far I know on a lan party if there is a razzia just about every computer there will have some illegal software, so far I’m informed the police will only confiscate pc’s if there is large amount illegal activity going on, a few suspicious games/programs they would let slide – to much paper work for very little chance of prosecution

and for the mater of fact there are tons of guys on lan parties who love to disappear with other peoples goods, the chance of that is much higher then a razzia

thanks for your concern regarding my legal status, but here in Uruguay games copyright are not enforced... yet
unless they belong to big companies that make lobby in our govmt like microsoft.

Joe is right that i'm leaning too much in rule #1, part: "Using cracks in a commercial environment such as rentals, internet/cyber cafes, commercial LAN parties etc.! Instead, contact the publisher for an official solution that allows you to install/play the games without using actual CD's/DVD's."

as it is a closed lanparty without internet access, i think i'm going to install the GPRS modem of my cel and use it to browse :) just in case I neet to log into my EA account in the middle of an usncheduled razzia. ;)

a piece of miscelaneous info: here in Uruguay, there are commercial businesses that deal with pirated games and the police are just concerned with things belonging to MS, Symantec, et al.

moin,

hmm i think im doing something wrong, i got an image of bf mounted in daemon tools(newest version), but it dont work, so i tried to unplug the dvd-drives manually and then it works, but that is not worth the effort... if i had to unplug the drives its simpler to play with the og dvd....

isnt there amother posibility to play the game online without to unplug the drives? if i just deactivate the drives, the game ask for the og dvd...

If you took the time to read through the posts of this thread, you will realize there was a crack for multiplayer. But due to the new 1.10 patch, they crack no longer works.

Well, I use the image in my main desktop without unplugging the drive and it work.

However for weird reasons, on my laptop I have to shut down the cd/dvd reader/writer, even with the same image and daemon settings. I didn't want to shut the only drive I had, so I disabled the drive letter of the physical drive in the Device Manager in the admins tool. I found out that It work for me and it save me some reboot :).

Not hard but impossible, if nobody tries :rolleyes:

Download Trial of Blindwrite 5 or 6 -> copy the linked profile of my last answer to the folder described -> enter last sector of BF 2142-DVD in profile (Size in bytes divided by 2048) -> create your damn image choosing that profile in BW -> give feedback

Not that hard, isn't it ?

well, i tried it with no luck:

my last gap were
gap_zone_15=[1588692..1715851]
OR
gap_zone_15=[1588692..1715115]
depending if i get the size of files or the "size on disk" data on properties of the contents of my BF2142 DVD as my 2142 DVD reported a size of 3.512.553.705 bytes and 3.514.062.848 bytes ON DISK, i took both numbers to be safe and made 2 images (that were not MINI images, i can assure that :) )

tried both and none worked, any advise?

Zulu

08-01-2007, 01:28

Sorry for that. Does a full image work for you ?

(that were not MINI images, i can assure that :) )This image (as all Securom/Safedisc MI's of the near past) is no mini-, but a maxi-image, read THIS (http://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=73906#Images_MaxiImageTooLarge) how to make maxi-images "mini" again by using windows compression on a NTFS partition

PS: Shouldn't there only be displayed "used space" instead of "size of files" or the "size on disk" in the properties of a disc

why so impossible though

mini images have been created for every other damn game.

common your crackers prove your superiority

i have alot of respect for crackers they have saved me hundreds of dollars from disk damage.

this is the only game i get i cant run online without the disk

mini image is highly needed

all my games have either a fixed exe or mini image.
