Shogo: Mobile Armor Division

I wasn't aware that ImgBurn is capable of burning MDX images.

When you select the source file, select "all files" instead of the default-"all supported files". Then open the MDX image. It worked fine, I ran a test first before burning. Then burned the disc with verify selected.

If you want to burn an image to a CD as is open the DT Pro Image Editor.
At the lower left choose ISO9660 + Joilet as File system and your burner as Target device.

Thanks for the tip.

If the burning was ok that CD can be used on another PC without DT.

I successfully wrote the SHOGO.mdx file to a CD-R using ImgBurn. I thought it would just copy the image to the disc as is, but it doesn't. It extracts the contents of the image and burns it like an original. So I can use this CD on another computer without DT and not need the CD after-wards?.

[Zeolites]

I really appreciate you clearing those things up!, support here is excellent!.

I have a question about Half-Life, will I have a problem playing online with it mounted with DT?. I haven't played HL/CS since Steam came out.

You're welcome

For the sake of completeness & for future purpose:

Should I unmount a drive before restarting or shutting down the computer?

Not needed - but i do it

What about when I install other programs, should I unmount all drives and exit DT Pro Agent?

In some rare cases apps/games protected by SecuROM make a disc check already during installation, and with another (virtual or physical) disc present that check might fail.

Should I have had RMPS in Preferences\Advanced since I used an MDX image?. Should I be concerned that I didn't have it enabled while creating the image?

No, RMPS emulation is only needed for physical RMPS copies burned with Alcohol 120%.

When I want to uninstall a program, should I make sure to have the image for the program unmounted?

No, in rare cases it's even needed to have the disc inserted to be able to uninstall.

The file did the trick!, thanks man!!.

@Zeolites
Sorry , i haven't searched the web before but there is an easy solution.
Just replace the AM18.dll in your install dir with the attached one.

Instead of Image Burn, I think I'll try out ImgBurn instead. Much much more options!. The Official ImgBurn Website

Yep, had to re-mount, I tried it after-wards. The game works fine but I don't hear the in-game music. As I mentioned before, I used the Data Disc profile. The whole reason I wanted to mount Shogo with DT Pro Standard, was to be able to hear the level music without the CD. Shouldn't I have used Mixed Mode CD instead since it contains audio and data?.

Should I unmount a drive before restarting or shutting down the computer?. What about when I install other programs, should I unmount all drives and exit DT Pro Agent?. I always make sure to close all programs and user processes prior to installing things.

Should I have had RMPS in Preferences\Advanced since I used an MDX image?. Should I be concerned that I didn't have it enabled while creating the image?.

The next game I'll be creating an image for is Quake 2. The game doesn't need the CD to run, but you need it if you want to hear the in-game music.

My very first attempt at burning an image to CD (SHOGO.mdx) and it failed on me. I'm hesitant to try again, I don't want to waste my CD-Rs. I didn't have anything else running in the background.

When I want to uninstall a program, should I make sure to have the image for the program unmounted?. Will it cause problems if I don't?.

Yes, you have to remount.
You may want to enable Automount, then the image is automatically mounted if you restart your system.

I created the image okay, my drive maximum drive read speed is 40x, I used 16x to create the image. The MDX image was created successfully.

I mounted the image using [SCSI_0] (E, it launched the setup.exe for Shogo. I installed the game to "C:\Games\Shogo", then restarted the system. I opened the Shogo shortcut and launched the game. A message pops up saying I don't have the Shogo CD in the drive. Was I suppose to install to E: instead of C:?.

I notice that virtual drive E: contains no media. Do I have to re-mount the image?, won't that launch the setup.exe again?.

Take it easy on me, this is the first time doing this.

[Zeolites]

I'm about to create an image of Shogo. Protection ID turned up nothing, so do I just use the "Data Disc" profile?.

Should I set the DVD-RW drive to a lower read speed than maximum?.

[Zeolites]

Okay, thank you. Protection can mostly be found in the main program executable right?.

[evlncrn8]

totally safe, im one of the developers, so you can trust me
it only goes online when you tell it to update.. there's no other traffic.. it just scans a file / folder / cd / dvd and reports the protection found (if any), which then allows you to figure out which image format / setting to use..

[Zeolites]

Thanks for clearing that up. ProtectionID is completely safe right?, it doesn't steal CD keys/Serials or anything?.
