Need For Speed Most Wanted - SafeDisc v4 - HowTo???

[A.c.]

I got a question what is the name of the file you have to mount image with d tools for nfs mw ?
Thx

Not sure what you mean, but I guess it would be whatever you name the actual image when you make it... lol

Example: you_file_name_here.mds

Note: Remember to load the mds as opposed to the mdf file, or you may have issues

Not for Safedisc. You can load both .MDF and .MDS for safedisc and not have problems because you do not need the DPM, which is stored in the .MDS. For all other protections, you can only mount the .MDS.

Hö?
I can only mount the mds files, my daemon is limited in doing such stuff, mounting mdf files
wtf are you using to mount a single mdf ? there always is an mds file with an mdf, so why not using it...

[Farshid420]

muJi.fiGHt3r, if you really want to mount an mdf, all you have to do is modify your mounting program settings in the registery, or simply use Daemon Tools' mount feature and select the mdf file... but hey, if you have the mds and you wanna use that, it makes no difference, as rendari stated, when it comes to SafeDisc

Hope that help :P

I actually bought this game, which is unusual as I hate driving games in general, but I like the story in it and the GTA feel.


So im kinda impressed.


All I did was the following.


1. Instead of using my own image, I used the maxi image on GCW.

2. Installed Daemon Tools 4, changed bus names on install, when installed, Right clicked DT as if you were going to mount an image and chose properties instead, here I changed all 3 headers to something different. Enabled all emulation, and mounted the image. Closed DT from taskbar saying yes leaving emulation on.

3. Made sure no emulator/debugger/hiding programs were running.

4. Played the game.


At first I got a stupid d3dx9_26.dll error, dunno why as NFS installed it during setup. But to get rid of it, I went into the discs' DirectX folder and opened the d3dx9_26 cab file and extracted the dll to the game folder, and it worked after that.

Just for info, if you have the DVD version from this game, surch a friend with CD version and make an image from CD 1 they are smaller as DVD image and work perfekt with deamon tools and SD4hide or (i use starfhulck tool with profile "starorce 3.49 DO NOT Patch CDrom" (all other option activated).
For mini or maxi image creators don't use DVD image use image from CD1 is bether, smaller and work on all versions.
