heh 5 star being the best.. the sheer irony of his comment...

why ironic i hear you ask...

well 5 star is NOTHING but a clone of daemon/alcohol, it uses the same engine, check if you dont believe me.. most of the 'other' emulation products out there are using the daemon/alcohol engine...

Appreciate all your help. I suscessfully created an image with this app; but it seems like a complicated util (might just be new to it). I just redone my entire system and didn't want to install too much stuff to clutter it up.. LOL! If you run across that "mini' we're looking for, please let me know. Thanks again, much appreciated.

I just made a maxi image and it works very well. Problem is I dont have much drive space left for this image. Is there any way to shrink it like maybe remove some files or zero out some files?

Read the forum FAQ. (If you find out which parts to remove/zero out then you can enable Windows compression to make the image take up less actual disk space.)

Maxi Image that works.

For people who have purchased the game and can't create a working image. I did find one on REMOVED Just do a search for 2142 image and it's the maxi image. I haven't found any noticable bugs yet in online titan play with the new 1.06 patch.

Thanks,
Matt

That's interesting. I used Alcohol to make an image of my BF2142 DVD which works fine when I load it into Daemon Tools.

wrong wouldnt it be a little strange if the 'parent' program (alc/daemon) can't do something a 'child' (ie: licensed and renamed) program can't, considering the drivers have the same functionality... you need to do some research mate..

banned from their server... possibly... really depends how the crack is done.. other cracks (warcraft 3 for example - gimpsrus) 'reroute' api calls like GetModuleFileName to the 'org' file, so checksums etc pass...

banned from this forum... only if you don't own the original game

Isn't there a way to reroute the api calls for securerom7 from
an .org file like gimpsrus & hellkiller did for war3 online play ?

hellkiller copied gimps probably

method used ->

make entrypoint code, which reroutes getmodulefilenamea api and have it return 'filename.org' or whatever, so it opens and checks that file instead,
then have the entrypoint code jump to the real entrypoint... relatively simple task if you have asm experience...

@tippex


mate your wrong

with my DVD-RW disk

with alcohol i made a copy of quake 4 (since that has the same protection as bf2142 only its a differant build number like quake 4 is v4.5 and bf2142 is safedisk v4.7.


anyways to prove the point

i did a backup copy of quake 4 with rtms on and it didnt work (with alcohol)

then i erased the disk and made a backup copy of quake 4 again with (5star) on that same dvd-rw disk

and with emulation it works perfectly.

the alcohol backup i also tried emulating with 5star and it didnt work.

clearly 5star is much better for making backup dvd's

though alcohol is better for using images
