Hello. Well i have a question. Is this mini-image useful for any Soldiers version? I have the spanish one, and got much much problems.... only managed to run it once. And with the support of star****er.

Also another thing. Building my own mini-image, what will suppose? Isnt it the same than loading the entire (great) cd image? (.ISO) in my case.

Thanks, and best wishes.

Soldiers Emulated easily (at least for me)
 

It really was that easy to me...

WinXP SP2
2 SCSI-Drives (CD-Rom + DVD-Rom)
1 IDE Drive (DVD-Burner)
Soldiers of WW2 EUROPE-Version

- copied all files from the CDs to a temp-folder on Hard-Disk
- installed from there!
- installed soldiers-euro-patch-1.12
- installed soldiers mp-patch 1.28 (which is also a single-player-patch!)
- installed daemon-tools (never used it before)
- mounted the image-files (from this thread) as Drive-J (for me)
- reboot (required)
- started soldiers.exe
- entered the required EURO-Key
- tested the 1st russian-mission = NO problems at all!!!
- NO unplugging of ANY Drives or similar sh*t necessary!!! = still have ALL drives connected!
- oh yes... I afterwards DELETED all files from the temp-folder on Hard-Drive and it still works!

conclusion:
the reported INTRO etc. problems MUST have to do with installed video-codecs!
I only have ffd-show installed and really NO problems with crashes etc.

hope this info helps those who still can't emulate it properly...

Here's a method that i used without having to disconnect anything:

1- Install the game; however you want.
2- Use d-tools to mount the mini-image.
3- use star**** v.083 beta and click on "CD8 DEAKTiViEREN"
which disables your CD drives and do other things that i don't know; because when i disable them manually from device manager, it doesn't work.
you can download star**** from:

4- Launch the game.

Let's know if it works or not ?

I'd appreciate if u could tell us what exactly does this tool do ?

It works perfect
 

I just tried it and it worked perfect !!! thanks so much !

The hardware disconnection was relevant until those starfu ck and starforce nightware apps, this last one is in english and is available from here:
