EA games question

[angelo]

Hi, I have a ps2 v9/ Flip top /Swap Magic 3.2cd and 2.0 DVD.
I made a copy of Madden 2004 with nero and works fine, and made a copy of
Freedom Fighters the same way i did with madden 2004 but when i swap it the Ea logo introduction movie shows up and the game wont start.
I used isobuster and i got all the freedon fighters files in a folder and noticed that there is i command (MAIN.INI) that dosn't exist in Madden 2004.
My question is: Can I change the information in this file to make the disc skip this logo and maybe be able to play or what should i do?
(ALSO I USE A DVD LOADER AND IT DID NOT WORK NEITHER)

This is what that (INI) says:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
// Copy protection string
// xa37dd45ffe100bfffcc9753aabac325f07cb3fa231144fe2e 33ae4783feead2b8a73ff021fac326df0ef9753ab9cdf6573d dff0312fab0b0ff39779eaff312x

Hi there :)

I'm not an expert, but I'll try to help you out anyway! I always play around with the files too and sometimes they actually end up working too :p, but I strongly suggest you make a backup file of the game folder and all its files. From what you wrote, the MAIN.INI file says: 'Copy protection string', which probably means the game cd has a no-copy protection thingy on it, so when you copy it, it won't work. You could try to remove the file (after making a back-up of all the folders!) and then try again, but I doubt it will work (still, you could try :D). I think the best solution is a no-cd crack (I think that in your case it's legal, since you have the original cd right?) or you could try to copy the cd again with a different program, for example DiscJuggler or a different one, because unlike Nero, there are some programs that copy the cd identically, meaning they 'avoid' the protection thing, making it appear as if the original cd is in the driver.

Ok I tried lol, maybe somebody who actually knows about this stuff read it and thinks it's complete rubbish what I put on here, but what the heck, I'm the only one that replied so ya might as well try what I told you :p!

Madden 2004 is for online gameplay right? So i suggest you read these threads. When downloading the WinDIP patcher there's an NFO inside and a few tutorials for making backups and get it to play online too. These tutotials you can also use for your backup of Freedom Fighters, without the patcher ofcourse.

More info about this online game backups: HERE (http://www.mgforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23454).

If you have any more questions just ask ;)
