Well the basics are: Install your game from the original discs.
Once installed, mount the mini image in either one of Alcohol 120%'s or Daemon Tools virtual drives.
A window will open which looks as if it is the contents of the CD/DVD. It is not the contents it just looks like it is! Close this window and start the game from the original shortcut which sits on the desktop or from the shortcut in the start/programs menu.
A mini image only contains enough information (the protection info) to trick the game into thinking you have the original disc inserted.
Read section 'V' of the
FAQ for other information about mini images.
