Battle Field For Middle Earth Ii

[Joe Forster/STA]

Read the forum FAQ for guides on how to create your own mini/maxi/full images (nope, Nero will definitely not work with copy-protected games!) and backups and on how to use already existing images, cracks and CD hider programs. You can also try using the SEARCH button, to find other threads related to this game and grab some more information from those, too.

I used the search button first, nothing came up for this game.

Can you link me to the specific faq that would help me out?

Ok, I made the mini image w/ alcohol and mounted it then went to start the game off of the copied image but all i still get is the splash screen.

Beginning with version 4.5 Safedisc protected titles can only be started with a full or maxi image (maybe this should be mentioned in the FAQ).
You also have to use an anti-blacklisting tool like Pr0t.St0p, to avoid detection of your optical IDE drive(s).
Maybe you also have to change the 'installation path' in registry (or reinstall from mounted image).

Thats all pretty advanced info, anyway you could explain what i need to do in lamons terms? Or direct me to a guide that has it in lamons terms?

- Create a full image with Alcohol 120% using Safedisc or Safedisc 2/3 profile (if necessary you can try THIS method to speed up the skipping of the SD typical defective sectors)
- Mount image in virtual drive of DT 4.03* or Alcohol 120% and use Prot.Stop (explained in FAQ)
- Start the game

* if using Daemon Tools, deactivate Safedisc emulation, there is a bug in the x86 version which avoids gamestart even for mounted images
