OK. I did something today that I have not done in many many many many years. Out of utter frustration with my MDF/MDS situation, I went out, and paid for digital media. It's true, but there was nothing I could do to stop myself.
It was the game, Dreamfall.
(I had downloaded the torrent, and extracted it into 6 separate CD files. The first one was an MDF/MDS. The rest were bin/cue.
When I was ready to install it, the first cd, MDF/MDS files, was some weird filetype that I had never seen before in my entire life. This happens to me alot with torrents. Using bit torrent, I often download weird files that require me to obtain some unidentified flying software to play it.
As an MFD/MDS filem, the first CD of the game would not mount to my virtual drive.
MagicISO failed miserably at trying to convert it. I had no idea what to do with it.
I spent hours and hours and hours of research and troubleshooting trying to get this garbage to work. Nothing. I ended up running to different stores trying to find this wretched game, and finally purchased it for $42.79. And it was not plastic sealed. I complained that it was opened, but there was nothing I could do. It was the only bleeding Dreamfall in the tristate area.)
When I brought it home, I immediately converted all 6 CDs to ISO files.Then I installed the game using the ISOs. Years later, I finally attempted to play it, from Virtual CloneDrive, the www.securom.com site popped up saying I cannot play it from an ISO. I have to use the legitimate cd. I checked out Cure Rom to see if it would cure it, but the docmentation said that Cure Rom is worthless on games converted to ISO files.
Does anybody how I can get this game to overlook the SecuROM sos I can play it as an ISO?
