Run Game From Shortcut: (Desktop Shortcut in this image) If it pops up saying insert disc, or disk not found, click 'Continue' it should then begin loading the game.Ĭhoosing Daemon-Tools 'All Option ON' Results: The guy said to browse the disc, but when i explore or just click on it, it says please insert disc into drive.īrowse what disc? The minidisc? That wont do any good since the files on the minidisc have been truncated.Īfter mounting the MiniDisc with all emaulation option set to ON in Daemon-Tools, simply run the game from the Shortcut either the one on the desktop or in the Start Menu. But the program will not let me start with the emulator (Virtual Daemon 3.47 as suggested in the readme file) running/installed.Ī friendly and speedy reply would be recieved with much gratitude. It's since been uninstalled but since i patched the game, i now require an emulator. I have in the past recieved this error also whilst having Virtual Drive installed. Is there a work around to this so that the mini-disc can still be used? Please disable all CD/DVD emulations software and re-start the game.' message to be displayed when trying to load the game? Is it correct in my understanding that anyone who uses a backup copy (as well as pirated for those who do such a thing) of their CD instead of the original will cause a 'CD/DVD emulation software has been detected. you can't take out your game cd and have the emulated mini-cd work)

I have read through this thread and i wish to seek some clarification if i may.ĭoes one have to have the game cd still in the drive as well as having an emulation program running to emulate the mini-cd on yet another drive? (ie. MiniDiscs either work or dont work.īest tool to use for mini images is Daemon-Tools, as alcohol does not always work properly, and make sure all emulation options are on, not just the emulation the cd is protected with. Not using a 'fixed' exe or other form of patch/loader to run a game will present alot less problems as there is no bug within the exe besides the ones the devs left there. Your opinion might be mini-images are not good, but majority of the peeps around would rather use one since they require no changing exe's each patch ect. Only advice I can give is if you don't trust a crack of this type and are wanting to play the game, use the origional cd, or crack it yourself. If a RTW is crashing when you are using a minidisc, this is a sign that you have a software or hardware problem on your computer. So my first impression of mini images is not god. Since the new version makes the game (may seem imposible) even better. Since there still is no alternate thing to use, i cant play my favourite game anymore. I`m so pissed of because Rome: Total War seems to crash with v1.2 and when i use the mini image for it. Maybe so, but stil i dont trust this type of crack.

Rome 2 won t start
