Yeah, seems a bit of a drag that it appears to be the only option. I paid for the game, but I can't use it with the hardware I have.Originally Posted by HoreTore

You can try one of those virtual cd-rom drive programs. Not sure if one works for M2TW but you can probably download a 30 day free trial of a bunch of them and see.
Did you actually install the game from the shared drive?
I've seen some games which refuse to read from a drive they weren't installed on, and have no idea if m2tw is one of them

I can confirm that if done properly, a disc image does work. Most importantly, no copy protection cracking is necessary.
Some copy protections don't like if the game was installed on a different physical/virtual drive than the one you have the play disc in. GTA Vice City was one notable one. I installed from the physical disc and tried playing from the image. Didn't work until I had installed from the image. I found those issues with Securom protected games. M2TW is Safe Disc 4.6 so none of that.
Huh. Did you make a full image, or did you try making a small image? I couldn't get the latter to work, no matter what I did... So I took it to mean that there was some copy-protection at play, and gave up as I have no knowledge of cracking such things...
Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban
I made a normal image of the disc and used an additional program or two to convince the Safe Disc protection that everything was ok. The protection is still there, it's just satisfied that the correct disc is in there.
