Runaway 2

[Mariana-Shackswolf]

I would really appreciate it if anyone would give me a link to an English version mini/maxi image, because i didnt manage to find one.

(i understand that poseden's and bended's are for the German version)

thx in advance,
Mariana Shackswolf =)

Have you tried the English crack that's available here:

[Mariana-Shackswolf]

Yes, I did, But unfortunately the RELOADED crack is just a fixed exe, not a NoDVD, meaning I need a mini/maxi image to play without the game's DVD.

Check my post a page back, if you know how to use a hex editor you might want to be a 'Guinea Pig' for trying the NoDVD hack

You could also download Mini-Image Ripper on this page and make your own as I think that will work due to it not needing to rip any protection:

well thx! but I am really bad computer woman =( can you do me a favor and rip an english version DVD? or make that modification as a favor for me? I am not so positive that it would really help though.. =(

[BarryB]

OK, I patched the reloaded crack and uploaded it to Turboupload:

http://d.turboupload.com/d/1351065/RA2.rar.html

Download it, use WinRAR to extract the file and copy it to your game directory then test it and see if it works! Make a backup of the Runaway2.exe so you can replace it if the crack does not work.

As for making a mini-image, seeing as I don't have the game I can't make one! If you don't know how to make an ISO image of your DVD then mini-image ripper won't help you.

Wow, You must be very smart, since it Works!!, I did manage to get the game started (using german mini image, didnt check without it) got past the difficult screen (after i clicked on "play runaway from the beginning" it didn't ask for a DVD!) and then the movies started.. since i still didnt have time to start playing i just watched the movies and it works! i can't give further details on stuff like chpaters>1 or save/load but it looks good! i will also try to make the mini-image you suggested (i do know how to do it) and check how it goes with it.
thanks,
Mariana

Smart? Not really, someone taught me that trick to patch some CD/DVD checks, so the 'smart one' is the person who showed me

I think the DVD check kicks in when loading a save game, Zulu mentioned it did this when he tried loading a save game, so try saving/loading a game to truly test it!

Does the german crack run smoothly ?

[freak9394]

[Muyfa666]

Excellent BarryB! Is this your little way of saying "merry xmas"? ;-)

[usman]

Yeah the English No DVD Crack Works perfectly fine

Good Work Thanks.

[BarryB]

Thanks for confirming the NoDVD hack worked, hope it works on the UK version when it's released!

Has anyone seen the Vitality NoDVD, 321mb for a NoDVD

I think all they've done is rename the RESOURCE.000 to NODVD.VTY and make their crack look for it!

If a n00b like me can make a NoDVD without needing extra files, surely a 'scene' group can do the same

And it's not clever to 'hide' your cracks with modified UPX VTY
