Does anyone know why it doesn't work when I make a mini image for 2142? I'm using Alcohol 120% and It worked fine when I made it for BF2 and other games.

Or even better, could someone just give me a link to download one? Normally I'd be able to find this myself, but for some reason, I can't find it anywhere...

A mini image is a small sized image file of a game disc. When It's Loaded with a virtual CD/DVD drive, the game/program regognizes it as the disc that is recuired to play. A normal image contains all the data that is on the original disc and a mini image only contains files with almost no data inside them, just enough for the game to be happy with it and start

EDIT: www.gamecopyworld.com has a mini-image and crack for almost every game out there.

But it's more of a bitch to set up than a crack.

Because of the Copyprotection 2142 uses.

If someone can name what copy protection 2142 uses I'll find something to disable it.

Do be quiet little man. If you can't be useful then go hang yourself and do everyone here a favour.

BTW it uses the latest version of SafeDisc, nothing currently curcumvents it, nothing I have ATM anyway.

It dosn't get round SafeDisc v4.5 or higher sadly. Which is what 2142 is protected with.

Punkbuster checks the 2142.exe and if it sees a change you'll get kicked/banned. I would rather use the DVD before i get kicked. :x

Hm. Someone should write a guide on how to do this for BF2.
(I'd figure it out myself, but I'm so sicvk I can't see straight.)

Go for torrents, www.torrentspy.com look for BF2142 no cd crack

Basicly what it is, is the exe from the EA downloader version!

BTW, u don't need a fixed .exe file. Just the mini-image mounted with alcohol120% or daemon tools!!!!!!!

The thing is that, doesn't the CD-Key for the BF2142 linked to your account ID?
If that is so, why does EA/DICE require users to mount a CD/DVD to play in the first place?

I bought a pair of cheapo DVD drives from eBay and whacked them in, fair less hassle than fixed .exes and so on. Was about $25 for the pair, just plain black sony ones, second hand. Put the disc in, forget about it.

I do strange things when punkbuster kicks me.

EA won't allow any virtual CD/DVD stations on your system. I had to remove DAEMON Tools, A 120% etc. before I could get 2142 to work.

As said above, by some cheesy cheap DVD players. I have 2 internal 2 external drives.

Game Jackal is very good at creating mini images that work, I haven't got 2142 so I can't test it. But it worked fine for BF2...
