Has anyone tried making a mini-image just for giggles?

I haven't myself, maybe that would be better at least for now. One question for all of you, what virtual image software do you use? I use daemon tools.
Thanks

Daemon tools seems the most reliable for using mini-images (when combined with Starforce nightmare). Alcohol seems easiest to make them with (its surprisingly simple). If anyone has a clone or the actual DVD and would care to make one and post it for testing it would be highly appreciated.

I'll do it now

Does anyone have any tutorials or tips when it comes to making mini-images with alcohol?

And another thing; there is a program called Anti-Blaxx which blocks secuROM7, which might be worth taking a look at if Act Of War uses securom (I currently use this to run Stronghold2 without a cd).

Daemon Tools has securom emulation also. Just right click in the tray icon, and highlight emulation. Alcohol has a image making wizard you can use. I use 1.9.5, and when I open the program at the top left you will see the image making wizard. My image is finished, testing it now.

Starforce Nightmare also defeats securom7. That is what I use as antiblaxx seemed to give me issues. As far as making a mini image with alcohol 120%:

Start with the original CD or Clone.
Start making the image (use a slow speed, 300k is good) when it hits 2% cancel the image but do NOT delete it.
Voila a working mini-image. if it doesn't work, try going a tad bit longer to see if it helps.

So I don't need to have any special options enabled in Alcohol?

Anyway, thanks a lot for the help guys, and good luck with your image SirMaverick.

So no mini image yet ?? :cool:

It depends on the copy protection in question. Generally you need to choose the proper copy protection on the pull down menu. occasionally you need to check a box. If you google it, sometimes you can find the settings you need for that particular copy protection. Otherwise just experiment if it doesn't work right.

Has anyone tried making one yet at all?

Impossible
 

Its IMPOSSIBLE to make a SECUROM mini-image.

Mini Images are ONLY for Starforce/Safedisk games. NO OTHER.

NO SECUROM Miniimages! NEVER

So don't ask for things never can exist.

You can make mini images for securom. Heck, I am using one right now! All you need in addition is a program that blocks the protection, for instance anti-blaxx.

And last time I checked you had to disable the cd-rom channels and run the game off a USB interface when using a SF mini image, which I doubt can be called a "working" mini image.

No need radar. Just use starforce Nightmare and you can mount a SF protected game normally and play it.

I'm wondering if this damn thing will ever get finished. I got a no-cd to start the program, but that's as far as it goes. Any suggestions out there? THe game opens with the new no-cd but when it goes to the movie, everythign cuts out. As far as a mini image, I don't think it will happen :( :confused: :confused: :confused:
