I only know how to craete a "Mini Image" ...with MiniImaeRipper

But youre talking abou a max Image...sure

MiniImages are not working with Securom, only Safedisc...
But Maxi Images are universal..

Would be very nice if somebody can give us a tip how to create Maxi Images

well, mini images are made by doing a normal / real image and filling the image with zero data...
SD and SecuRom look for the files, they can find them, but they will not (not yet !!) look what the file looks like/what it contains...
so they find teh files which are just dummys...
the only problem is making the data in the image to zero data...
that's the point where i suddenly got stuck :P

Hmm, Maxis might trick the new Civ4 checks. Anyone have any infos on how 2 create one? I will expiriment a bit once I come home.

I am at school now, on a ****ing linux so I cant test this. However, am I missing something, or do you have to unrar this?? If so, it will be 4 gigs. But here's and idea... Use Windows compression on it and windows might compress it back, and you will still be able to use the image. I do it for all my images. Ill try it when I get home

Its funny, I was working on this same concept, but it looks like BLeH beat me to it :P.

Hehe guys, just made a mini image using the maxi method, but this is even better

I compressed the file with Windows Compression

Before: 770 MB
After: 1.19 MB


Hehe, here is the mini image for Civ4 that I just made:
removed until i figure out wtf is going on

You will need SD4Hide by skull to use it.
REMEMBER TO COMPRESS WITH WINDOWS TO GET A MINI IMAGE EFFECT!!
Enjoy

Anyone interested in a tut??

EDIT Not a good mini image. Workiing on another. Please be patient...
