Playing Warcraft without the CD?

[MajorMatt]

Here's the deal.

I'm working on a Warcraft project and I need to use Warcraft II again. However, my poor disk has this big guage in it that consequently prohibits me from using it. Now, I downloaded off Carracho (I do own it) and it came in form of a .toast file I tried to make a .dmg, but when I load the program it's still asking for the CD. What gives?

you have to burn a cd.
Warcraft does not accept a mounted image as a cd.
(Other Games as well)

This is a pain with Medal Of Honor Allied Assault as well. When you're out and about with a portable and feel like a quick game, you can't because the disk is back at home. :(

Yea, well I kinda like riven on it's cd's (One dvd would be better). It saves a lot of hard disk space. :rolleyes: I understand your arguments when the cd is not being used to play the game, only for verication.

Ya know there WAS that ooooooold program (os 8ish time frame) which would let you bind an image to a scsi drive. I found this handy on my old performa. *doubt it works with IDE stuff* But it was awful handy to 'really' fake the disk image mount as your CDROM. I probably have it on one of my 'less then reputable' backup cdz.

i dont know what your problems are,
my copy of warcraft worked with an mounted cd image - i made it for a secure copy of my CD cos toast didnt copy it giving an E/A error. so i made an image of the cd - mounted it and played with the image - and, after a while made a volume copy of the mounted image of WC3 - so i finally got my cd copied. the two versions worked.
also, my copy of starcraft works with a mounted CD image.
