Working Alternative for BF2 1.02

Also instead of going deep into the registry you could change the Busname Daemon-Tools uses during the installation of it..

That way you will have your own name on it and no game will see it... As for me: Installed Daemon-Tools 3.47 , changed the busname (added a letter or something), installed BF2 fom my original DVD, downloaded the Mini-Image (BleH), mounted with Daemon-Tools and started playing the game.

Patched the game, mounted the mini image and started playing the game.

When installing Daemon Tools, I didnt change the name of the 'Bus', yet my (self made) mini image still works?

I am using Alcohol 120% v1.9.5 Build (3105) (Absolutely Latest) with the GCW images and never had a problem of any sort...

Guys at Alcohol 120% have changed thier Virtual Drive's specification a lot!

Its now an SCSI Drive with a new name and can actually do what DeamonTools could do: emulate 100% correctly!

I didn't do the registry thing (stopped doing that a while ago)
I did this instead:
Use a hex editor (on daemon.exe) to change the referecne(s) to daemon.dll to zaemon.dll and rename the DLL to zaemon.dll

if you use daemonUI then you need to use the hex editor on daemonUI.exe

this is better for one reason: the registry thing goes away after a reboot.

I just got that reply off some forum, ain't meant to be fore BF2 i know that... They were referring to Imperial Glory.

Like i said, i tried the other steps of changing Daemon during setup and using software emulations without luck, that's why i posted what i did.
You never know, it may work for specific cases. Like those with software that locks the registry to prevent third party software modifying it

I did it this way. works for me the only problem is you can only connect to private servers because of a cd-key check. http://suckz.us or find another. You dont have to use a crack or modify your registery.
To play you have to start battlefield 2 trough anti-blaxx
