How to Copy DVD2 of Myst 4
 

Since I didnt see anyone answer this question I thought I would.

The second dvd of myst 4 is actually a dual layer dvd. This means it is too large to burn to a single layer dvd. This of course makes it difficult to make a safety copy of the game.

The solution is simple. On the dvd is a folder called "common". Inside it is a folder called "data". Inside this folder are folders for all of the six languages. Inside each is a file called "data.m4b".

Since you only need the data.m4b file for the language you will be installing, you can leave the others off of the dvd disk. This will put your dvd disk size below 4.3GB.

Thats it. Before anyone flames me for posting this for whatever reason, I only wrote this because i thought it might help some people. This may not work for other versions of the game.

Let me know if this works for you.

Post this in the CD2DVD thread by grumpy.

This has got nothing to do with CD2DVD Conversions so why Stick it in that thread? If anything it could go in a certain MGS2 Thread. ;)

If you use the search button you would have found this (witch you could add this fantastic information in).
However this dosen't helps 100% but I can add for the record, that doing a copy of a dual layer dvd must mean that you need a dual-layer dvd burner and a disc to burn the image from the harddriver...

yeh sorry to say Luciel I think Bounty is right! Its not for the CD2DVD thread. I do think this thread will be a much sought after one tho! Good advice Asimov. ;)

i really should read the full thread lol.

I thought of that too but I don't know how to handle the protection. I made a data disk with nero with everything on it exacly like on the original (except the language packages I don't need) but it does not play. :confused:
Could someone please kinda walk me through how to copy my personal MystIV DVD so I have a backup? (I am obviously not a regular gamer/computer geek, Myst was a x-mas present and I am paranoid about braking it)

(Have Nero burning software)
Thank you!

@cabaer
you will need a crack to play it still! ;)

Grumpy
Are you referring to the crack installed on the harddrive so I don't need a copy? That would work too. I downloaded the crack. I just don't know what to do with it... :o
If you are talking about something else, please add a little more details...
CaBaer

yes im refering to the cracck you need to play without the DVD

Which crack do you have? Have you updated the game or do you have the updates? Where did you download the crack from?

I downloaded
Myst IV v1.02 [ENGLISH] No-DVD/Fixed EXE #2
from GCW
I don't know whether this is an update??? I assume it is the crack
Cabaer

yes that is the crack you will need the update as well

Which is?
Do you know of a walkthrough somewhere (for the more illiterate computer users) for the whole procedure?

well i dont actually hve the myst game so i presume you will hve to go to the official Myst site to get the update! Which crack do you hve? Barry's or Revelations?
