Can't play with my isos

[Sir Hugh]

I saved isos of the games I play the most. 85% of the time, when I load an ISO and click the game icon, it starts to load, and then it says something like

"Please insert the correct CD and restart the game."

It does this with my
Battle for Middle Earth 2 DVD ISO
Call of Duty 2 DVD ISO
Stronghold 2 CD ISO
Call of Duty 1 CD ISO
Rome Total War CD ISO
Rome Total: War Barabarian Invasion

It works though for
Halo PC
Battlefield 2
Battlefield 2 Special Forces


My system is:
Windows XP Home Edition
Intel P4 3.00 GHz
Nvidia 7800GS
512 mb RAM
cd drive
dvd/cd Burner drive
160 GB 7200 rpm hard drive

All of the hardware have the latest drivers and windows has all its updates. The games are fully patched.


I can play my games with the cd's, but not with the isos. I have tried saving them with different image programs (blindwrite 5, clone cd) and none of them work either.

Is there a solution to this. If there is any extra software, I'd like links to them. Thanks for any help!

Try to create your images with Alcohol 120% (www.alcohol-software.com <--trial).
Use A-Ray Scanner or ProtectionID to scan the protection of the game CD/DVD. Then start the image making wizard of Alcohol and choose (if its a game cd) the correspending profile in the first step of the wizard (alcohol doesn't have any profiles for game dvds). In the next step choose the mds file format and start it.
For game dvds you have t choose the correct settings by yourself. For Safedisk 4 you dont need to set anything. For Securom 5/7 and STarforce you need to enable the DataPosition Measurement with hgh precision.
If your games don't work with the new images then you have to use antiblacklisting tools like SD4Hide, Securom Loader (d-load section) or CureROM.

iso wont work with protected games, because iso doesn't contain the copy protection information.. the reason some of your games work are...
1. they might be warez copies
2. the game when updated (assuming you did update) might remove the copy protection...

At least for BF2 they did not remove any protection ...
