Run NFSMW from burnt CD?
 
ok, i have an image of nfsmw. and i can run fine from the image when its mounted. but i want to be able to run the game using the CD so i dont need to have the image on my hard drive. how do i go about doing this?

ive tried burning with alcohol, but it does not work. the game will not load.

what are my options for running the game off of a cd? will i have to save the image onto a cd and mount the image from the cd?

Try taking some of the money your mother gives you and BUY THE GAME, WAREZ-KID.

@xPiercedx
Do you actually own the game? I mean a proper purchased version!

Regardless of what you may think is happening there is no reason to respond in the way you have! It is uncalled for!

yes i do. but reading this forum it seems that its not easy to use a image to play the game so you have back up. i want to have a back up cd's of the game. but dont want a couple gigs of extra files on my 40gb hard drive.

so either i keep flipping discs in and out for this game and others.

or store an image on my hdd and take up much needed space.

ive burned a copy. but i cant play from it. so its no good work.

so none of those ways leave me a safe back up.

people quick to attack me on here.:( i wanna be able to do this with other games too. switching lots gets scratchs

what you do is mount the image in Alcohol's virtual drive then use SD4Hide to hide the virtual drive, then start the game from the desktop shortcut. Sometimes it wont work straight away but try it again and it will work.
You probably wont be able to get the game to work from a backup CD. You will always need to mount the image.

If you can't play then it leaves you more time to study english.
anyways as Grumpy said there probably isn't anyway to get it running from a burned CD and currently there isn't a nocd executable for it.
So unless you have very good equipment to make a perfect copy you can just keep using your original or the maxxi image and ntfs compression.
