Iso file trouble

[MrRemnant]

i've got a disk based game, but no disk drive. By making an iso file of the game i can hopefully run it on my pc. When i load the game up (medal of honour airborne)i get to the load, running it in compatibility mode, but it tries to verify the disk but obviously i dont use it. It then asks to insert the original disk rather than a backup, help?

 

Thanks

yeah ... that's the games copy protection doing what it is supposed to. 

 

you could now dive into it, try different software to create the iso and then different "virtual drives" to mount the iso - daemon tools was able to emulate different forms of protection but the success rate was mixed. 

 

you could really get your hands dirty and try to look for a crack that is potentially infected and whatnot (pls don't go there)

 

or you could just drop 20 bucks on a USB DVD drive and call it a day

Moh airborne is Pretty old.  Use daemon tools to Mount the ISO in a virtual drive. That should be Pretty much all you need.

done that, get a message, conflict with emulation software detected.

 

Also, I'm only trying to get it to find out how to do it rather than just for the game.

Game Is prolly on steam cheap. Could be an alternative to buying a USB dvd drive

What version of windows? Is the file legit? Is the ISO mounted? Did you install from the mounted ISO, or extract it and install from the folder?

Windows 10 pro unactive (thx eBay) legit 

might have to reinstall, can’t remember how I installed it, could be a different file altogether.

If it was installed without mounting, that would likely be it. Windows 10 has a built in iso mounting tool. Just double click on the iso to mount it and it pretends to be a drive; works fairly well even with older software. 

 

If that doesn't work, the iso may be broken or there may be some patch you need to install to get it to work on windows 10.
