Working Alternative for BF2 1.02

[FarCry]

have you tried

Virtual CD Hide v1.0.0.4 (21.7KB)

Virtual CD Hide can hide your virtual CD-drives from SecuRom 5.x and 7.x. ????

@Unkojoe

The program uses SecuRom 7

If I understand your post correctly you are saying BF2 uses 'Securom' as the protection? BF2 actually uses Safedisc 4.

Also instead of going deep into the registry you could change the Busname Daemon-Tools uses during the installation of it..

That way you will have your own name on it and no game will see it... As for me: Installed Daemon-Tools 3.47 , changed the busname (added a letter or something), installed BF2 fom my original DVD, downloaded the Mini-Image (BleH), mounted with Daemon-Tools and started playing the game.

Patched the game, mounted the mini image and started playing the game.

When installing Daemon Tools, I didnt change the name of the 'Bus', yet my (self made) mini image still works?

I am using Alcohol 120% v1.9.5 Build (3105) (Absolutely Latest) with the GCW images and never had a problem of any sort...

Guys at Alcohol 120% have changed thier Virtual Drive's specification a lot!

Its now an SCSI Drive with a new name and can actually do what DeamonTools could do: emulate 100% correctly!

I didn't do the registry thing (stopped doing that a while ago)
I did this instead:
Use a hex editor (on daemon.exe) to change the referecne(s) to daemon.dll to zaemon.dll and rename the DLL to zaemon.dll

if you use daemonUI then you need to use the hex editor on daemonUI.exe

this is better for one reason: the registry thing goes away after a reboot.
