Star Wars - Battlefront II

[BBSH]

Okay, maybe my brain cells have decreased over the years, but I'm stumped. I've bought the US CD version and the fix doesn't seem to work. I know it's the DVD version, but shouldn't it anyway?
If not so, should we be hoping on a CD version anytime soon?
Also, one more thing, I kinda screwed up and ran SR7stop along with the game at the same time, so Daemon tools must be blacklisted. Does anti-blah clear ALL registry blacklist entries or just the ones specific to the mds that comes with it? If not, is there a tool that clears all of them?
And one more thing (sorry, too much nicoti/caffe-ine). Does it really matter if I change the bus driver name in Daemon if the drive is supposed to be hidden anyway?
That's it thanks for bearing with me.

Hi all
OK I finally figured it out!!!!!
I installed the latest trial version of Alcohol 120%. Mounted the MDF file with Daemon Tools and installed the game. Then i disabled all the vurtrial dives in Daemon Tools and closed the program completly down. Next I mounted the MDS file with Alcohol 120%. Next used SR7.Stop_1.0 and clicked on the hide button. It should tell you that it hid the one and only one virtual drive. And lastly went into my control pannel, opened up the System folder, choose the Hardware tab, Device Manger, expand the dvd/cd-rom drives and disable all of your cd/dvd rom dives and leave your one and only one virtual drive active.

I hope this helps someone out. I finally am able to play the game.

I have a problem where I cannot install the game. I mount the image with daemon, click on LaunchBFII.exe and all it does it show a MSDOS screen for a split second and nothing else happens. Can anyone help?

OMG

listen guys...this is so simple a f!cking penguin could do it.

it is not a starforce game,there is no need to use anti starforce protection.
you do not need to rename any drivers
nor edit your registry,dll's or what ever.

listen to this word by word..

INSTALL GAME-FULL INSTALL/EXPERT WHATEVER ITS CALLED

DOWNLOAD VIRTUAL CD HIDE LOCATED ON GCW

DOWNLOAD THE MAXI MINI IMAGE LOACATED ON GCW

MOUNT THE MAXI MINI IMAGE IN DAEMON OR ALCOHOL 120

RIGHT CLICK DESKTOP ICON AND SET COMPATIBILITY MODE TO WINDOWS 2000

START VIRTUAL CD HIDE

HIDE YOUR DRIVES

EXIT THE VIRTUAL CD HIDE ICON IN THE TASKBAR,MAKING SURE THE DRIVES ARE SET TO HIDDEN

DOUBLE CLICK THE SHORTCUT TO BATTLEFRONT 2

start the game.

dont keep whining it dont work,this is the most simple thing to do,just try it.

I know there is no Starforce but in some cases hiding the drives is the only way to prevent the game from detecting a backup

Install it from your original discs,why make a image to install the game?!?

check out the alcohol 120 n& daemon 3.47 thread!!!

So finally once again

-install the full game
-download Alcohol 120% 1.9.5.3105 30day trial
-during installation, select EXPERT MODE
-now u can change the driver names, so do that
-now make an image using the option "Data Position Measurement" (DPM) and select "high"
-if your device doesn't support DPM reading, make a normal image and replace your .mds file with the one u can download on gcw
-to play the game mount the image in d-Tools or Alcohol120% with all emulations enabled (Alcohol 120% has emulation options too!)
-start SR7 Hide and click "hide"
-if this doesn't work either u have a last chance:
-use Starforce Nightmare and disable CD and nodes

So this should work for everyone
Please ensure u have the right mds file (if it's only 5Kb, it's invalid)
