Cossacks II

[RazzZoom]

Having problems?
Getting retry come up??
here's what i found out to make it work!

The major problem I found was that the MDF file Name should be the same as the MDS File name..
Like so
myclone_disc2.mds
myclone_disc2.mdf

so if your .MDF file is different from the the .MDS file it won't work! (my version was different!)
copy the .mds title and paste it to your .mdf file, deleting the .mds on the end and changing it to .mdf .. once thats done, mount daemon tools emulation RMPS, all option unticked!

follow instructions on the carbon nfo and it'll ignite!
no more cd input! this should save you from scratching those newdiscs! )

P.s. I have to mention .. I reckon Imperial Glory will Kick Some Ass! http://www.imperialglory.com/main.htm

Still not working!

I will write step by step what am doing so if am doing something wrong somebody can help.

1) I have 4 files
Cossacks 2 cd 1.mdf
Cossacks 2 cd 1.mds
Cossacks 2 cd 2.mdf
Cossacks 2 cd 2.mds
2) I mount cd1 to the virtual drive using daemon tools (emulation RMPS only as u said)
3) I run the game from virtual drive and i install the first cd. Then asks for second cd. I unmount cd1 and i mount cd2. I continue installation.
4) Installation finished reboot.
5) I run sfdrvrem i dont restart
I run sfdrvup (i get the error)
I run sfdrvpatch and crack the file thats inside system32\drivers
6) Now i restart using the dialog box that was enabled when i run sfdrvrem.
7) I run Starforce and i disable as said cd, node and ch2.
(My dvdrom and cdwriter are both on secondary IDE (master, slave))
8) I mount cd2 on virtual drive again with RMPS only.
9) I try to run the game and asks for cd. I press retry nothing. If i insert the cd2 of cossacks in my dvd rom starts checking disk and after checking asks for the correct cd to be inserted.

ok any help would be really appreciated

I use All Option On, and still work.
Do you have another emulation drive beside Daemon?

everything seems to be fine, I did it the same way except
4) Installation finished, start game, reboot required
5) close sfdrvrem dialogue box before continuing with sfdrvupd

only little changes but maybe they help you.

Ok i will try it thnx although am tempted by my friend about Imperial Glory! Number 4 i did it exactly how u did it but number 5 i will try it like u said.

Thnx ppl for all the help this is the last time, am spending too much energy on this game! I hope Imperial Glory would not have so much things to do in order to play it.

This is how I did it
Have Total commander use its cool! and very handy ..

Have Ultra Iso Installed, version 7.2.3.901
Have Daemon installed Version 3.47 on the installion sequence it asks if you if you'd like to change those two SF detection files, call them anything.

make sure the file of your mdf files are same as your mds file names
only change your mdf file name to same as your mds .. not the other way around .. and this is only done, if they are different in titles.

Double click the cd1.mdf file
in ultraiso ..
Extract to a folder .. my_ disc_setup or any title you disire
Double click cd2.mdf file
Extract to your folder.. my_ disc_setup or any title you disired to call it
don't overwrite files just keep extracting
now hit setup and install the game
run game say no
reboot

launch daemon tool
right click in taskbar on daemon tools
go to option and un-tick all
right click in taskbar on daemon tools
go to emulation and select rmps
all others to be un-ticked
use the Patch file from Carbon
Run sfdrvrem.exe but do not reboot yet. don't click anything yet
leave it and go to
sfdrvup.exe run this now, which will give you an error 1072. click ok
put sfdrvpatch.exe in

Windows/System32/Drivers. run click on file .. ok.
Now reboot.
now get Starforce nightmare from http://starf.bestmedia.kiev.ua/.
Run the SFNightmare.exe
disable cd
disable node
if needed disable ch2 (depending on what IDE cable your cd drives are on).)
right vclick on daemon tools
mount image find the CD2.mds file mount it, making sure the CD2.mdf file of the same name is in the same folder!
run game and thats it!
delete files from setup folder

P.S. Never Give UP! )

I can work at the first install with Carbon patches and steps of installation. After i shutdown and switch on PC next day, it doesn't work. I realised that i need to repeat this steps everytime i starts my PC:

Run the SFNightmare.exe
disable cd
disable node
if needed disable ch2
Mount CD2

Does anyone had the same problem?
