i have copied the contents from the cds into 2 folders on my hdd
i used the 3 programs which come with the download (2_51_Rebuilder, Rebuilder & Dumper) and tried every file when they ask you to open a file
all i get are 2 errors....

have you collected all the files needed?do you do it the right way?

Copy all the dll's into a temp folder along with the exe
Run the dumper on the exe - this should create the data.bin file (note that this may take a few minutes)
Run the 2.51Rebuilder on the data.bin file - this creates the new fixed exe.
Rename the exe to it's correct name.

EDIT:
You say you copied the contents of the cd into a temp folder - but MOHAA has it's main exe hidden away in a .cab file. So you would have to install the game to get the main exe, then collect up all the dlls and carry on as above.

FIRSTLY THANKS ALOT FOR REPLYING TO MY POST
I TRIED THE WAY YOU SAID, BY COPYING THE DLL'S AND AUTORUN.EXE INTO A FOLDER
BUT WHEN I USED THE DUMPER ON THE .EXE FILE I GOT ANOTHER ERROR SAYING: 'RANDOM ERRAH :-)'
ANY IDEAS?
THANKS ALOT

Yea you just unsafedisk the file that is protected by safedisk. Simple

LEIGHDUFFY · #7 23-05-2002, 13:02

CHEERS!
SO HOW DO YOU KNOW WHICH FILE IS PROTECTED?
IS IT ALWAYS AN .EXE FILE ON YOUR HDD AND NOT ON THE ACTUAL CD?

ALSO - I HAD TROUBLE COPYING MOH USING NERO, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN HELP ME TO COPY PROTECTED CDS?
CHEERS

you can;t unsafedisk it on the cd you d***!!!!fyiydka!!!!!does this require a lot of mind.....?

You see - the exe is originally on the cd, during installation it was of course copied to your hard drive. The reason I tole you to use the one on your hard drive is because it is very difficult to extract the exe out of it's .cab file on the cd.
On some games however, the exe isn't hidden away in a .cab file so you can just take it from the cd rather than the hard drive.

It doesn't really matter where you get the exe from - whatever happens to be the easiest method for each game.

Yes it is usually the exe which is protected - and also it's usually the main exe (the one you start the game with). But it is worth checking by using Safedisk Analyser on the exe (see link at top of page).

Are there any other sites which have a copy of unsafedisc to download? When clicking on the link to http://gamefix.dxs.to/, I get re-directed to gamefix.********, but attempts tpo download from that site are met with a "You are not authorised to view this page" message
