what ever error you get - write it down and remember it, we are about to look for it in the E圎 code, and change it!Ĭhapter IV: Finding the right line number. Once you've done all that - press the E圎, and if the game opens close it and exit the CD, then press again- you will get an error window! '¦ usually the line goes like: 'Error, please enter CD to run game' or 'CD error' or 'Error reading CD-ROM'.
HOW TO RUN DIABLO 2 WITHOUT CD INSTALL
once you've got it make some room on your HD, because we are going to copy the hole CD to it'¦ before you do that: some games have am option, when Installing, to Install the full game to the CD (but still needing it to play), use it if possible, The files you need to copy are all the game files, in some games it is the root dir of the CD, in others it is the dir'¦ the worst case is when the game is inside a CAB file, then you have to use a CAB extractor (WinZip 8 should do the job), and if it is protected a different program that can compile CAB format (I'll try to put it on the tutorial as well).
The files we are going to work w/ will be the main E圎 of the game: you will find it on the CD, in a dir called or, but the easy way to find it is just installing the game, and the E圎 that starts the game - will be the E圎 we need!. if you see any of them delete it and the protection should disappear (Important! delete them after making a mirror of the game on your HD, using the info in the next chapter) '¦ if you are still getting an error message just keep on reading.Ĭhapter III: Finding the right file - and the right error. Okay! To save you from reading this entire tutorial for nothing you're not going to use I made this chapter, because there is a good chance you won't be needing it! Some games comes w/ protection as a files in the dir (or root dir) called:, , and most important. The programs are added to the tutorial, because I'm not so sure you can find then on a stable location on the net, in the dir. the second program: we need a program that will *edit* the files, and fetch the right line number we got using the first program'¦ all those action are easly done w/ the programs: Win32Dasm (the disassembler - decompiler program, added in the dir ), and Hiew (the editing program added in the dir ). The programs we will use are 2: first, and decompiler - the files we will work with are in E圎 format, and we need a program that will HeX them (transfer to 16 base, hexa, form) and locate the orders given in the code, then we will find the line we need and change it to remove the protection with. This will help you w/ the most basic system of protection, called C- dilla, that is the most usual one'¦
