Game Jackal Profiles Beaten?

I just bought Game Jackal so I didn't have to feel lousy about continually taking free files from Game Copy World every time I wanted to simply "Play a game with No CD"! Now I have a complete Library of software and All of my Game CDs are in pristine condition and I do not believe in WAREZ or any of that stuff. But Making and storing .ccd or .nrg files to load into D-Tools has nearly filled a seperate 160 Gig Hard Drive with loadable images! So with the Price Drop Game Jackal looked good. So far I profiled about 25 to 30% of the games I am currently using. Far Cry, Painkiller,Call Of Duty 1 and 2, SWRCommando, Quake 4, Pariah, GTA San Andreas, Land of the Dead,Boiling Point, SW Battlefront 2, and Battlefield 2 all profiled in the "Extended mode" OK so far. But Serious Sam 2 and Chronicles of Riddick (2 of my favorites I might add) are really proving to be "Too Much" for Game Jackal to launch after the profile is made. Riddick won't run at all (Keeps asking for CD) and Serious Sam2 Has the same issue. And with about another 20 or 25 games to profile...I know I will certainly have more failures for sure. Is there anything I can do to get around these failed Profiles in Game Jackal? I mean the last thing I want is "Fixed .exes" for some games..."Mini Images" for some and then "Full CCD Images" Loaded into Daemon Tools for others and on top of that now "Game Jackal Profiles" that work one day and don't work tomorrow. Any suggestions? I mean I thought Game Jackal "Recorded and stored in PROFILE Form" the whole game start up process from Valid and Legal "Retail Game CDs" owned by me. So whats going on Please help me understand so I know what to do. (Or not do?)


Thank You Eddie

Dear Dabhand

Oh yes I will be glad to prove it any way you want, Scan and post the Disc, Box, game booklet, But look the game runs fine after the 1.1 patch is installed. (Even though for Riddick I have the 5 CD "Directors cut" and the patch is listed as Europe version for that. But it won't apply properly, however the normal 1.1 patch applies itself OK so the information is wrong at Gamespot concerning the patches. My problem is running the game with Game Jackal otherwise I don't have a game issue normally...other than the pain in the ass it is to have 3 seperate procedures to launch a game without digging out the Play disc.


Ed

I am a bit bewildered by you asking that...since playing the game isn't an issue. And I see nothing posted for Riddick concerning Game Jackal, and plenty of people had and still have Serious Sam 2 issues with Profiles in Game Jackal.

I'll tell you something weird that worked on a few games

Do you know what I did just for the hell of it and it worked? I right clicked on the desktop Icon and had Game Jackal make the profile with both the "fixed .exe" and a CCD loaded in D tools and do you know it created the profile and continues to run the game with the virtual drive as the CD ROM! Granted not all of them, but I have at least 6 profiles created in that way without any issues!
