Gears of War (Italian) DVD9 to 2xDVD5

[DJ Spike]

I do not have the Italian Version of the Game, But if the disk structure is the same as english, this conversion should work 100%

Please Test and Reply if working with Italian Version


Gears of War DVD9 to 2xDVD5 (Italian).

Copy the contents of the DVD9 to a folder DISK1

Replace the Gears of War.msi in DISK1 with my edited msi (Italian MSI): Gears_of_War_(ItalianMSI).zip

or follow the insrtuctions below to edit the msi file yourself

Create a folder DISK2 on your HDD

Cut the following files into it from folder DISK1 into folder DISK2, keeping the folder

structure intact:

program files\Microsoft Games\Gears of War\WarGame\CookedPC\Maps
program files\Microsoft Games\Gears of War\WarGame\CookedPC\NPC
program files\Microsoft Games\Gears of War\WarGame\CookedPC\Sounds

Copy the Autorun.inf and autorun.exe into DISK2 and edit the autorun to appear as follows:

[autorun]
open=0
icon=autorun.exe
Name=GOW Disc 2


Burn Contents of Disk1 folder with label DISK1
Burn Contents of Disk1 folder with label DISK2

For Prepatch Rename the file startup.exe (located in program files\Microsoft Games\Gears of

War\Binaries in the disk1 folder) to startup.exe.bak (for future update purposes) and copy

the cracked startup.exe from gamecopyworld into that directory before burning

Install Sequence DISK1-DISK2-DISK1

INSTRUCTIONS TO EDIT THE MSI FILE YOURSELF

Open the Gears of War.msi with ORCA.
Scroll Down to MEDIA
Delete all rows
Right click in right hand panel, select add row.
DiskId = 1
LastSequence = 1392
DiskPrompt = Please Insert Disk 1
VolumeLabel = DISK1

Add 2nd row
DiskId = 2
LastSequence = 2155
DiskPrompt = Please Insert Disk 2
VolumeLabel = DISK2

Add 3rd row
DiskId = 3
LastSequence = 2251
DiskPrompt = Please Insert Disk 1
VolumeLabel = DISK1

Save the edited msi

EDIT: Disk structure for Italian and French is the same as english. With Above Conversion French and Italian should work 100%. Please verify this for me as I do not have those language versions. Over edited msi and edit procedure is for Italian and French msi File
