So far for what I've done to allow it's use with no cd is use 120% alcohol to make the iso and fake the cdrom. Next I disabled my IDE cdroms, it actually tries to read the iso and verify it. It took alot longer for the detection, and it said the cd key was invalid for that disc in the end. I'm going to try installing from iso's and see if it then reads the cd key right. Now if you try this, it will ask you to put it into a different cdrom if you have any ide cd roms. Virtual drives are scsi, which has to do with it and what not. Doing it in windows won't work either, you'll have to unplug them or disable them in your bios.

I'll post back if this works. Specificly why am I doing it? One, I don't like to swap cds. Two, I don't like to scratch originals. Three, and the main reason, I want to play it multiplayer with my roomate :P

No good. Going to try much else.

Wouldnt it be possible to make a mini image of the game cd in order to run superpower 2 without the disc in the drive? Mini image would have to be mounted with daemontools or similar utility. The following is taken from another forum :

"Make image with starforce 1/2/3 profile, get dpm at low speed. Run your favourite iso editing software Ultraiso/Winiso etc. I used ultraiso. Now delete all files from the image. Click save as, save as bin. For reference, the resulting file size should be 68 208 bytes. Trash the cue. Now get original mds, rename the bin to original mdf. Now you have a mini image that's sufficient to make starforce happy consisting of original mds and mdf with all files removed... So starforce won't see that specific date deing read from hdd at the same time... Now do the usual stuff - unplug physically/disable in bios all ide cd/dvd devices, mount the image on alcohol/dtools virtual drive and it'll work.
"
Anyone had any luck with this?

Tyerin · 10-25-2004

Actually I read that article aswell. I tried to do it with winiso but I got an invalid image file error. So I've been trying to get ultraiso. I have it in a rar but the archive is passworded. So if anyone has a good rar brute forcer that'd be nice. I used to have one but lost it eons ago.
So if I get the mini to work, I'll be sure to let everyone know.

Tyerin · 10-25-2004

Yeah, it claims my disk is invalid or not a licensed disk. So maybe I pulled it wrong, but I used the starforce settings with alcohol 120%, except changed the DPM to high and grabbed it at 1x. I've used a mini for toca race driver 2 and it worked however. So I'm not sure. Still haven't tried ultra iso
*Edit*

Okay I used Ultra ISO. Had progress as I could make MDF files. The problem is, it says to use the original MDS file. Well, if I do. It gives me an invalid image error. Why? Becasue the mds file is looking for the 700mb original mdf file. So..I don't know.

what u mean by that???

off the cd then install or out of program dir after install??

Bateman · 10-27-2004

I think what AskarBuha means is have you tried creating a mini image by just deleting the disk1.cab from the normal image

AskarBuha · 10-27-2004

That's right =) It was about mini iso of the game... I thought maybe Tyerin deleted too much from the disk, that's why it didn't work =(
Does anybody want to try to create (how said =) mini image? If, of course, that person has the possibility to do that.

PS So, if anyone wants to try, I can email a tutorial that, I think, should help. No this one, which was used by Tyerin 9mine is more complicated ,)
Guys! Together we can try to make really working miniIso for this wonderful game!

AskarBuha · 11-07-2004

Guys! Cool, that you've managed to create proper cd image! Hope to have one one day =)
But, if you have original version, why not to use supplied cd-key?!
