Battlefield 2142 Fixed Mini Image Request

[Alien Firefox]

@myckee right....lots of posts makes someone's word trustworthy. This is the internet dude. You can't trust anyone. Its not the spoon that bends, its your mind.

dont use shitty analogies from the matrix mate

pb allows a certain amount of uses before it detects it.

unless its an actually fixed exe it'll detect it kick you from the bf2142 servers and tll u you have a messed up exe file.


and theres pretty high chances that the ea fownloader exe file wont work with future versions of the dvd version of bf2142.

[myckee]

The difference between the two of us is that you actually care what people think of you. You'll grow out of that by the time you start shaving...maybe. You might also understand humour by then too.

Some advice, my young friend, anyone posting on this forum, and benefitting from any information posted here, is engaging in illegal activity.

For example, it is illegal to decompile, modify, and distribute the intellectual property of EA games. That property, is, but not limited to, the exe of BF2142, or any other game exe or file, for that matter. This site allows such activities to occur.

This site hosts tutorials on how to bypass, crack, or hack, copy protection from the intellectual property of game companies, and security companies.

This site has porn banners at the top of the page.

This site is affiliated/owned by gamecopyworld, the largest proliferator of hacked exe's. Hacked exe's provided by the many warez groups.

But....this site will ban someone for admitting that they downloaded a game.

LOL and you feel that someone who posts here a lot is trustworthy.

Virtual CD v8 : Options: Everything set on "Automatic" and "read CD Geometrie". The Image has ending ".vc4". Iso don't work, because you can't read cd geometrie with .iso.

That's it. I was surprised how easy. First try and it works. Alcohol didn't work.
You don't have to disable cd-roms or something like that !!!

I've heard, the programm works with gothic 3, too. I test it later.

German:
Virtual CD v8 runterladen.Habe alles auf automatisch bei den Settings eingestellt, Häkchen bei "Geometrie Daten lesen" und das war's. Image hat .vc4 Format. "Iso Format" funzt nicht, da bei Iso keine Geometrie Daten gelesen werden können. Lästiges Deaktivieren von Laufwerken oder sowas entfällt auch !

Virtual CD 8 is capable of remapping its virtual drive to a physical one, thats why the SCSI blacklisting of SD doesn't work here. Using Alcohol's/DT's virtual drive one has to deactivate optical drives in devive manager.

btw. there is no need to read "CD/DVD Geometrie" (Topology/Data position) as Safedisc media don't have special physical characteristics like e.g. Securom or Starforce ones.

There is a difference between free and stolen.

@Grumpy

I'm here for the same reason as everyone else; to make a backup of my expensive disc.

@Alien

Grumpy read my post in context, and understood I posted my 'diatribe' to make a point.

[Nitrius]

Hope that some sort of image gets uploaded soon.
Alcohol dosen't seem to work for me so..

@myckee, Alien Firefox and Yummy Sprinkles

The three of you need to calm down a bit. It is pointless to argue over these sorts of issues.
Normally people will never agree on the same thing.

@Alien Firefox
I do want to correct something you have said.

if the publishers dont like that then they can buy it back off me but until that happens i own that data on the disk.

Under no circumstances do you ever 'own' the data on the disc! You will only ever own a 'license' which allows you to use the data on that disc and it can only be used on the one PC at a time.
Thats just how it is.

Also, and some may find this hard to believe, but I do not enjoy banning people. I will only ban people if they have broken one of the more serious forum rules.
If people were to take the time to read and understand the forum rules then no-one would ever be banned.
Rarely does a long term member get banned as they are aware of and abide by these rules.

@myckee
On this particular forum those with the higher post counts or those who have been a regular contributer for many years are normally the more trusted people. But that is not to say newer people cannot be trusted.
Bad information is usually scrutinized very quickly here so we soon know who to trust and who not too.
Like anywhere it takes time to learn who to trust, that is a part of everyday life, even away from the net.

@Yummy Sprinkles
Honestly if you dont agree with what myckee has to say then yes feel free to say so but please dont get in to a flaming war, especially about myckee's country.

Hey, it was just a joke. I don't think there's much harm in speculating there may be little to do in someones home country.

I mean, look at your Benelux countries; there's so little to do it's all drinking till your blind and suicide over there.

o.k. maybe the image works without reading cd geometry. But I thought it would be better to turn on this function (read all wrong sectors of Safe Disk )

You can't buy this programm legal in germany Against Law.
And I only use it temporarly, till a mini image appears

There are no wrong/defective sectors on SD DVD media, only on CD (where this function also wouldn't make things better for Safedisc)

You are wrong informed.

There is a trial version for temporary use

... and it's a maxi image, not a mini image that works

***DELETED*** cause i misread something

[Alien Firefox]

blindwrite is for idiots who cant work protections out

5star game copy is by far the best DVD emulator out there

[Monkey-Spank]

Ok, I used CD virtual V8 and followed your instructions and I've got the following;


Now what do I do?

[Alien Firefox]

@grumpy then they can buy it back.

also all moderators enjoy banning people cause they all enjoy having power.


@everyone else

there is a way to make a working backup of this game

use 5star Game Copy

it'll emulate it for you

but you'll need to run it off a backup dvd

and not off an image

its a way to run a backup of the game and works pretty bloody good.

but i still need a fixed image otherwise i may as well just use the original dvd

afterall since i only own a licence to it the company has to send me out a new disk anyways free of charge too

[Lishua]

Being a forums and server admin for a UT/BF2/FEAR based multigaming clan, I can say for sure that ALL mods and admins with more than a few months experience would prefer that everyone follow the rules. This makes everyone's life much eaiser and removes the natural suspicion that surrounds new people.

@Alien Firefox.... the Gamejack idea is a good one. My concern is my 3 yr old... known as Gramma's Revenge. He's payback for when I was a kid. He has destroyed 4 CD's/DVD's already. And these were hidden.

At about 25 cents each I don't mind making a half dozen backup disks, so if Gamejack will run them properly then PERFECT. Granted it's easier to load an image...

With regards to the publishers most are very easy to have replace the disk. They sometimes ask that you pay a small shipping and handling fee, but sometimes they simply replace them without asking at all.

[Solwayuk]

OK here's how to do it

Bf2142 has SafeDisc 4.70.000, so no Mini images or anti blacklisting don't works, until they update.

So...

Make a full image with Alcohol 120%, call it the same as the original disc.
I ticked skip read errors, and advance sector scanning.
When its done, download the latest daemon tools.
Mount the image.
Now in order for it to work, disable all REAL hardware optical drives via device manger (admin tools, or control panel>system) right click and go disable.

now it should work.

This is only to be used if you have Brought Original Game. and are only using it for a no-CD/DVD options, to keep the disc safe from damage.

Use your own disc to create the image, since the image would be 3.4gb.
