Ra2 copied and played. No CD required.

[Rod500]

I just finished getting the Soviet copy of RA2. I already did it to the Allied disk. It is much easier than the posts I've read.

First burn an image to your HD with Blindread 3.0. (Ra1.bwt) Mount the image with Daemon Tools 2.41.
Install the program from the Phantom CDROM.
Play the game with no CD.
You must own or have an original copy of RA2 for this to work. I tried to do this a 1:1 copy of the game and it didn't work.
This might not be what everyone is looking for but you can play the game while saving and protecting the original disk or share it with your friends.
