Battlefield 2 1.02 NO-DVD?

[noob]

Stawned mate, discussions on buying cd keys and copying your mate's game could get you banned on here. I'm not a mod or anything, just friendly advice.
You are supposed to own a copy of any game you enquire about on here.
As for buying a cd key, I think that speaks for itself. Very dodgy ground.

[GLH]

I also seen this CD-Key offers on eBay. It only cost 25€, instead of 44€ for the DVD.
I don't know if this is legally...it looks so.

[stawned]

Sorry, didnt know i was actually doing anything illegal.
As far as i know, the CD Keys are legal, because, the person i am buying it off also offers a photo of the cds and the cd key, and he's already sold about 100+, has a 1000+ points and 99.9% feedback - and anyways if there was any illegal activity/piracy, im pretty sure it would have been reported to ebay and taken off. [Also, i am NOT asking WHERE to buy it from - so i am not discussing cd keys here on the forum, it was just a mere fact]

Besides that, if i am still wrong or not abiding by these forum rules, by all means, MODS please warn me - thanks.

As for copying my mate's DVD, if it is illegal (don't think so, but anyways), can i rephrase the question?
Say i buy the BF2 DVD, is it possible to back it up, so that incase my original messes up and in the future i need to reinstall the game, would the backed up version able me to install the game? (BTW, is there any complications in backing up this DVD, or i can just use NERO?) - remember, just for installation, not for playing (which will require mini-image)!

Also could i get some discussion on these questions below:

2. Will the mini-image work on my Alcohol 120% version above?
3. What is all that blacklisting stuff - can someone explain in lamen terms?

Thanks a lot.
Sorry i am new at this forum so do point out if i am carrying on any illegal discussions.

Cheers.

Pretty sure that these keys are legal; several people I know have had copies of HL2 off there, & I know Steam is pretty good on piracy.

On the subject of swapping mini-images, have a look at DaemonScript from the Daemon tools homepage- it will allow you to create a customised shortcut for each game that uses a mini-image so that you never need to swap mini images

Basically what they have to do is this, you buy, they pay $10 to kill their account so you can use the cd-key again.

I also used Alcohol 120% for a Image of the Full DVD + no-cd exe successfully

hi,

i yust updated my original BF2 Version to 1.02.
(by the way, i do have an original cdkey)

I tested all 3 mini images with alcohol as well as with daemon tools (they are all on the newest version).

but as soon as i want to start the game i get a black screen and then.. like after 3 seconds it pops back to my windows desktop....

why

[GLH]

Is your Windows and all of your drivers UP-2-DATE ???
Do you have installed WinXP ServicePack2 ???

Did you try turning on the Safedisc emulation on Daemon tools?

It's works for me without turning on the Safedisc-Emulation. I just mount the mini-image by BLeH! and start the game.

Same problem here to! Black screen and then back to windows
Hope there will be a propper no-dvd crack for the 1.03 patch since these mini images dont seem to be working as they should.

The mini images work like a charm. Often its just a problem with the users hard/software.

They often use outdated versions of Daemon Tools/Alcohol which are detected and blacklisted or the already mentioned 'black screen' error sounds more like a technical driver/setup problem.

Hi in installed the Daemon tools and i don,t know how to mount or use it could someone help me with this i have BF 2 illegal disk but i have a legal key ( cause i lost me original disk stupid that i am ) but everybody says there is no 1.02 crack for BF2 so they say yeah use the mini image well i don,t understand how to use it i already installed 1.02 patch but now i want to know how i can use the mini image stuff please explain it to me from the start thanks for helping

Because your using a warez version you wont get support here, and you will probably get banned.

If you still have your case etc and cd-key for your "missing" disc, contact EA games for a replacement disc/s
