The Witcher - Problem with Mini-Image
 

Hi,i have a problem with the mini-image of this game...It seems that doesn´t work...When i mount it on Daemon Tools pro a message apears telling that it´s a empty cd...Where is the mini-image information then?
There is some kind of fix for this game that works?
Sorry for my english.

I moved your post to a new thread.
It was wrong in the protection-list - sub-forum.

Ok,thanks for the advice.

There is patch 1.1 for this game, so no crack for now.

1> Install the game - Full Installation.
2> Mount the NS-TW_SS-poseden.mds in a virtual IDE drive in DT Pro 4.10.
3> Play the Game!

The trial for DT4.1 wont let you mount to virtual ide drive, only option is to buy it. Is there anything else besides daemon tools, even something else that you have to buy, that will mount to a virtual ide drive?

Not as i know armacham.

I smell dodgeyness!

the problem im having is, i can not create a virtual IDE drive on windowsXP x64.

dtools pro advanced:
Note:

1. vIDE is currently supported on all 32 bit platforms (x86) and on Windows
Vista x64; Windows XP x64 and Windows 2003 x64 are not supported;
2. Shell extensions do not appear on x64 platforms;




anyone know any other proggys that can create a virtual IDE drive xpX64?

I can confirm that this mini image works in windows xp32 using a virtual ide drive in DT4.1 pro with the 1.1 patch\hotfix of the witcher. I looked around a bit and couldnt find an alternative to DT4.1, and it unfortunately doesnt get along with xp64 as far as a virtual ide drive is concerned.

Hi, I've got a problem too. I've made a copy ;) of Wiedźmin (The Witcher) and I tried to use the dvd image provided by GameCopyWorld. First I had some problems with DT - crashes occured several times when I tried to add an IDE device but now its ok. Nevertheles I still cant lunch the game without my original DVD.

Is there a way to use this multilanguage release with my polish-only instalation? Is anybody working at polish version now?

would be excellent if someone made a no cd crack instead of this mini image crap

Crack is always postponed. IMHO mini-image is also better cuz you don't have to change any files and have no problems when patching. And I experienced several times lacks of updated cracked exes.

For "my" copy I would be glad to have polish mini-image.

Maybe the same group could make me one :D

I was wondering who's posting at 2.50 AM but now I got enlightened :] @targetlocked is from Florida, US and A :]

guess im gonna have to put the disc in the dvd drive eh? ;)

DT 4.10. Pro "Advance"
 

The problem ppl have is that they use the "DT Pro" application to run it.
What you need is the "DT Pro Advance" application that hase the IDE option in it.

You can set the IDE drive by opening the Daemon Tool Pro menu and going to tools --> Virtual Device Manager, here you can press "start IDE adapter"

Anyhow it toke me a few hours to figure this out since all the read me files says you need to have just "DT Pro 4.10" and not that the IDE option only comes with the Advanced version.

Hope I save dyou peeps some time, enjoy the game.

I install the Daemon Tools Pro Advanced 4.10 in my Pc and create a IDE virtual device but when i mount the game image it doesn´t work (still asking the original dvd) maybe this is happens because i have the Windows XP Profesional edition with the service pack 2 and i think this version of Daemon don´t work on this operating system...What can i do?There is another program with i can create a ide virtual device?I´m really frustrated with this game...arghhhhhh!!!!!:mad:
Sorry for my poor english (jejeje)

It works on XP Sp2, dont forget to set all the options on for emulation (except cd+r option)

You mean the "hide cd-r" option in emulation?I try this and don´t work...Shit!!!!...I hate this game!!!!:mad:

Those emulations are solely needed for burned copies, not for mounted images.

doesn't work for me either.

I did create a IDE virtual Drive with DT Pro Adv 4.10.0128 and tried to mount the poseden-Image. Emulation-Options are all ON... :(

Well, so we just have to wait...

There is one thing that i can´t understand...Why when i mount the mini-image on DT pro advanced apears a message telling that it´s a "empty cd"?
I don´t understand what is wrong...

You are mounting to an scsi drive. You need to have Daemon Tools 4.1 full version, ie NOT the free one, and mount to an IDE drive. Also, you cannot use XP64, any other windows xp or vista should work fine.

I think I know what was wrong with DTadv...

When you right click on the systray icon, and go into the virtual cd/dvdrom, look, you must just have a [scsi] drive, and the add ide drive is gray.

You have to double click on the icon, and in the main window, add an IDE drive. Then windows need to set up some thing, and the ide drive will be created.

Funny that since the mini-image or full image I made wouldnt work without the Tages emulation on.

The Problem that I am having is that when I make the virtual IDE it doesn't show them at the bottom but it tells me I have the IDE loaded and when I go to mount them using the tray icon I get an error telling me that daemon tools pro advanced error driver 0 it doesn't so I then turn off the IDE and then reload it I get a message telling me that I already have the max amount of drives even though they are not showing up at the bottom lol I wished that some one could just crack this thing instead of using images.

Ehm, there is no Tages emulation option :confused:

1. Mount image in Daemon Tools pro
a) Install Daemon Tools Pro.
b) Copy the patch to folder where you install DTP and patch it
c) Copy dtpro.dat from
Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/DAEMON Tools Pro
to
Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/DAEMON Tools Pro (???)
d) Run Daemon Tools Pro Agent and make virtual IDE drive.
2. Install the game.
3. After installation mount a mini-image. Make sure that you click all emulations ON.
4. Install the 1.1 patch.
5. Play.

Well, it works perfectly for me.

You should buy Daemon Tools Pro Dasqez.

Bye, bye Dasqez. Next time read the rules !!!

hi all i will have witcher tomorrow and i'll try install game and patch and play
with the image and if i will succeed i'll tell you how to do it too (i'am using a daemon tools pro advanced like you sad to do with the ide stuff)
so i hope i'll help you guys

It isn't out yet in the US. I think I will wait a bit before I buy it. Nothing like being forced to use (and wear out) the disc.

A crack will come out soon. Hopefully before you finish the game.

How can i know if my windows xp is xp64?I go to My PC,right botton,properties and the only thing i can read is "Microsoft Xp profesional edition - 2002 version - Service Pack 2"
I think that the Daemon tools Pro Advanced method don´t works because of my operating system.
Sorry again for my english...:o

No one has XP x64 unless they really wanted to have it. If you're not sure, you don't have it.

Ok,if i don´t have it...Why i can´t run this damned game???What´s the problem?This method works for everyone unless me...I can´t believe it!!!!
I hate this gameeeeeeeeeee!!!!!:mad:

You're saying the game doesn't run at all? Or just the mini image doesn't work?

Oops your right, I meant RMPS :P

Cause the game is Tages, got a wee bit mixed up >.<

The game doesn´t work and when i mount the mini-image always apears a message telling "empty cd"...I heard that only mounting the game on DT pro advanced its works but i can´t play because i mount the image and the only thing i have is a message telling me to insert the original dvd.
what can i do?I try to do all the things that i read in another forums and nothing works.
My only hope its that someone release a working crack (pleaseeeeeee)

I am not shure but i think the mini isnt working very well i made an image from my original dvd and simply mounted that image. It takes some space but it deos the job :-p

Where did you get the game?
