ok i have got csi game i have downloaded i was wondering if i could play it without burning it to disks ?
If it is a image you can extract using winISO and then just run it from your hard drive.
its in rars if this is ok how do i go aout playing it ? any help would be great or point me in the direction of somewhere i can follow instructions ?
Whats the filename of it? Does it contain the word rip/ripped?
cant see any rip or ripped m8 its three folders of rars for csi the game i know how to burn it and so on just i aint got any disks at mo and wanted to know if i can play it
Have you unrared the files yet?
yea got bins and cues in another folder
Right, d/l a program called alcohol 120%, it allows you to create virtual drives on your pc, so you can run the bin file as if it was a normal cd-rom but with the advantage of running it at a faster speed than what a cd drive is capable of. I dont have the link try googling it.
i have daemon tools on my pc never used it though will that do same thing? if so how i use it m8 ? sorry to be a pain
YES !!! deamon tools will do you the trick. just start it. then right click on the icon at your taskbar, select ViRTUAL CD/DVD ROM, DEVICE 0: [E] NO MEDIA, M O U N T I M A G E and select the image u have (bin, iso, etc.)Quote:

ok done that but cause its a 3 cd game when its gets finished loading the first cd it asks for next,when i try and select it it wont let me so can i not do it if its more than a 1 cd game ?
Its possible, i did with Splinter Cell, but im not sure how to get out of the setup screen without disrupting the installation. When u install, is the whole screen covered with a loading page of some kind? :blink: If its not, just click on Daemon tools and tell it to mount an image over the 1st cd image. Then it will install some of it and ask u for the fist cd again, mount the first cd and continue. Then in asks u to insert either the 2nd or 3rd cd, mount that using the same drive and continue until ur done. :)
cheers mate i will give it a go
ok that got it working but wen i begin the game before i can start the first cae it asks me for a cd and seeing as im playing from the program on the comp does this mean its not gonna work ?
Hopefully you selected 'Full Install' if the option was available. Then the only reason it asks you to insert the CD is to verify that you actually bought the game( :P ). You can easily remedy this situation by getting a 'No CD' crack either from Kazaa (virus scan it first) or from a crack site like www.Megagames.com (highly recommended).
thanks for all ur help guys i got it working now
cheers :D
I downloaded the .bin files of mafia. I extracted the 3 cd's with winiso and burned that files on cd. But if I start the installation , he asks for cd 3, if I put that in, he still asks for that cd. Do I do anything wrong with the burning or extracting of the burning. Does anyone know how to install a game from a .bin or .iso file?
Rather than extracting the files with Winiso, you should Convert the .bin files to .iso files. Then use Nero and select 'File - Burn Image' to burn the .iso files. That way you will get an exact copy of the original game CD. However, it could also be that your CD 3 .bin file is corrupt. Maybe you could download it again or try a different version.Quote:

u dont actually have to convert ne file or burn it 2 disk if u use a prog called cdmage it will extract everythin in the file to whatever folder u want also it will scan the file find ne errors and fix them so i think its a pretty good prog try it out
get daemon tools ...
