More DVD Conversions

[Grumpy]

@ Asimov

Why didnt you just buy Farcry on DVD! It would have saved you the trouble of converting it!

having several cds in a dvd is enviroment friendly as we waist less energy that way

Mostly you dont need conversation patches. Just copy all files into a folder and burn it to one dvd. Sometimes you have to change setup.ini or some other dat files but thats not hard at all

I would have if I had the chance. As it was, the dvd version was near to impossible to find where I live. In truth the core reason I'd like to see more dvd conversions is because I often attend lan gaming seasions and with a limited HDD I am more willing to uninstall games (eg. purely single player games i'm playing) for the space if the install is less manual.

At the risk of sounding like newb, how would you go about editing the setup.ini and what is it I'd be looking for. Any help would be much appreciated.

open these files with notepad

For Example in NFSU you have to edit some files that the installer thinks it has to be installed from cd1, dataformat in nfs is like this:

[cdnumber],[installtype (1=needed)]data\example.exe
[cdnumber],[installtype (1=needed)]data\example2.wav

This game was one of the harder setups to build on DVD. I had to add movie-files to the list and set installtype and cdnumber to one for all files

It's a kind of Reversing. But in most new games you have Installshield setups where you simply have to copy the files from the cds to ohne folder and then burn it on a dvd.

Try putting Kill Switch on a DVD

It uses WISE installer and not seen any info on hacking that type of install program.

Sure you can put images of both CD's on a DVD and mount them in DAEMON to install, but try copying the files to a DVD and make it install!
