How to use mini-images?
A game looks for a disk in the drive it was installed from, so you have to mount mini-image in this drive letter which is simply not possible b/c this drive letter is already taken by the real drive itself.
So it looks like you have to install the game _from the full disk(s) image(s)_, then unmount this image(s) and mount the corresponding mini-image to the same drive letter. Am i right? If yes, then this is not very user-friendly...

Most games check every available drive for the correct cd, but if it doesn't you can do it that way. Or you could change the drive letter in the .ini file or the registry, etc.....

So what you are telling us is that you did a full install of sc (uk version), removed the cd from the drive, mounted the mini image and the game says that it cannot locate the correct cd rom ?
Just to make sure I got you right.

Strange. I personally don't have the game, but some friends used the mini image from gcw without problems.....Have you already tried a no cd/ fixed exe ?
Or is the error about emulating software ?

I see. If it isn't a problem of emulation software detection: Have you tried doing a mini image yourself with MIR. Maybe somethings is wrong with the file you downloaded...

Come on. I am not new here. I know it is a rar archive. Nevertheless something seems to be wrong either with your config, your drivers, or the hell knows what...(every comp is different). But why not start from the beginning ? If the game works with the original discs and it works with a nocd, but it doesn't work with the image, which definitely works on other machines, why not doing an image yourself and try it, before starting a (maybe useless) deep analysis of system specs ?
Do a mini image yourself. If it doesn't work, plz tell us your system specs, os, emulating software, virtual drive software, etc....

It was my first experiment with mini-images. Works -- OK, great. Not -- OK, will still be using original CD for online. Unfortunately, no time to do mini-images myself
I might try mini-images for some of my other games though sometime.

Just a moment. You are now telling me that the mini image works. Only online verification fails ????? Is that what you are telling me ????
I am feeling that my blood pressure increases rapidly......is this what you want to tell me ?????

Just one question: Do you really own the original ??
I ask this because, using MIR to create a mini image doesn't take that long, and can only be de done from an original. Secondly, the mini image is supposed to work as long you have an authentic cd key for online play.....
