You own legal copies of BF2 and Special Forces?

Did you lose Disc 1?

If so, you can still play..just use a mounted mini-image.

You just won't be able to re-install it without Disc 1.

GOOGLE

Bypassing copy protection is not condoned here...so you won't get many direct links or tutorials on these forums

Re: Playing Battlefield 2 without Disc 1?

Alright.. Not asking for a specific tutorial just want to know what this is before i go looking and loading things..


Is this an actual image on a cd.. something burned.?

Re: Playing Battlefield 2 without Disc 1?

You can copy the copy protection part of the game to a file and 'mount' this on a 'virtual disk drive' so that your PC thinks that the BF2 cd is always inserted.

You need to get the mini-image (or make one if you had Disc 1) and a program to create virtual drives. It's an image *of* a cd, but nothing that you burn.

It won't get anybody into any trouble

I've been doing it for YEARS (probably since the first virtual CD program was created)!

Re: Playing Battlefield 2 without Disc 1?

Indeed it won't get anyone in trouble. It's kindo of a gray area because it's related to ***** cracks which do the same thing (let you play the game without the cd) but work differently.
A ***** crack is often associated with a copied (warez) version and it's freom here I guess that mini-images get their bad rep.
