Runaway 2 [US] (DVD9 to DVD5)

[BarryB]

NOTE: this will only work for a MAXIMUM install (6.0 GB), the MINIMUM install WILL NOT WORK WITH THIS METHOD!!

You also need Winpack v3.0b from here: http://www.cdmediaworld.com/cgi-bin/...inPack300b!zip as this trick involves compressing the RESOURCE folder of the DVD into the DATA2.CAB file!

Instructions:
1. Copy the entire DVD to a folder on your Hard Drive, E.G. C:\Runaway2 (I'll use that directory as an example).
2. Move the RESOURCE folder out of C:\Runaway2 to a temp folder.
3. Create a new folder called RESOURCE in C:\Runaway2.
4. Move (not copy) the file <temp folder>\RESOURCE\RESOURCE.000 into the C:\Runaway2\Resource folder.
5. Extract Winpack into a new folder and run the Winpack.exe file.
6. In the IS version part of Winpack click the dot at the side of 6.0 so a black dot appears in it.
7. Click the Load packed file button and navigate to C:\Runaway2 and click the DATA1.HDR file to load it.
8. Scroll down to Group 15: App Executables and right click on it then select Add a folder.
9. Navigate to the <temp folder> where you moved the RESOURCE folder to, then click on the RESOURCE folder to highlight it then click OK.
10. Wait for the folder and it's contents to be packed into the installer, the black CMD window that opens will disappear when processing is complete, you can then exit Winpack.
11. If you want the crack to be installed too, rename the file C:\Runaway2\DATA1.PS to whatever you like, e.g. DATA1.PS_ then download the RELOADED crack from here: http://dl.gamecopyworld.com/?d=2006&f=rld-rna2!rar and copy the Runaway2.exe into C:\Runaway2 and rename it to DATA1.PS.

Now Burn the files in the C:\Runaway2 folder to a Re-Writable DVD+RW disc and test the install, you can use RUNAWAY2 as the disc label.

I also created a NoDVD:

You can replace the crack with this file and it will install pre-cracked, NoDVD and all the game on a single layer disc

This may also work for the German version, so people with that version can test this too.
If a working crack for the German version is not available at least you can test whether it will fit onto a single layer disc!
