nortons Posted August 24, 2000 Share Posted August 24, 2000 I am using CM-Beyond Overlord on a Mac. Can the CD be loaded onto the HD so I don't need the CD drive? Thanks for your help. ------------------ Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been able to get the game to run using the mounted disk image. It has to be a read-only disk image. Very handy for my laptop when I want to bring the game with me when I travel, and don't want to lug the CD along! ------------------ -- Toad Ontario, Canada 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob/1 Posted August 24, 2000 Share Posted August 24, 2000 Yes you can do that Toad but do you have a P.C or a Mac?I don't know if you can do that on a Mac and I have one! ------------------ Check out my CM web page! www.geocities.com/robisme_ca/Combat1.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pford Posted August 24, 2000 Share Posted August 24, 2000 This actually works? I was under the assumption that CM looked for the CD copy for copy-protections reasons. This sounds like an easy way to defeat it, too easy. I thought that there was a hard encoding on the CD, like predetermined bad sectors, that could not be copied, and to defeat it, the checking code would have to be bypassed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elementalwarre Posted August 26, 2000 Share Posted August 26, 2000 yes this works. i've been playing that way too - frees up the cd drive and it's way more convenient to mount an image than stick in a cd makes piracy too easy, though, so i guess this will go the way of a pdf manual sooner or later <sigh> fwiw, i did buy it. none of my friends knew of it let alone had it. besides, it's just too good, after my first game on the demo i -had- to buy it just to say thanks with my credit card 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nortons Posted August 26, 2000 Author Share Posted August 26, 2000 Yep, it works. I agree, the game is great. I purchased it after playing the demo for an afternoon. Big thanks to Toad and the rest for the help! I'm ticked though that a Tiger disappeared when I attacked it, then reappeared when my guy was facing the other way. Arrgh! ------------------ Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
