Opening a Bin File

download alcohol 120%. and create a virtual drive. you can also use daemon tools. just google those and you will get a proggie that can run/ burn(if you want) a .bin file.

I've tried both those programs and created the virtual drive. I can install the games but not run them. It says "Please insert the correct cdrom".
 
You have to get a fixe .exe to disable the protection mechanism. You can usually find some at www.gamecopyworld.com

In ancient times they had no statistics so they had to fall back on lies
 
lol i proly wouldnt trust a website thats trying to get ur downloads. personally i dont trust everything a website says

"Freeze, your under arrest for the murder of Moe Sislack and Apu Nahasapasa...OK nevermind, just moe."
 
no www.megagames.com has never failed me. great site for cracks

'yeh but if you own the origional game then why are you trying to crack a .bin file?'


ummm because you dont wana have to put the cd in everytime.... or you leave it in etc so you dont have to do [-peep-] with cds....
 
yeh but if you own the origional game then why are you trying to crack a .bin file?
The .bin file does make it a little suspcious. Of course I have to use cracks to play certain games, as the copy protection of some games won't allow me play them, something with my hardware I think.

I wasn't to happy when I went and purchase Doom3 for $50 when it came out, and couldn't play it. Spent roughly 45 minutes on the phone with tech support, and was promised "they were working on a fix, keep checking back for game updates."

FarCry did similar things too if I remember correctly.

I shouldn't have to disable anything on my system or crack a game to be able to play my own legal copy of it.

Why don't companies realize they can't stop people from copying it, they can only make it a little more difficult, however in the end they are going to piss off there actual customers, who feel they should not have to disable software, or use certain types of drives to play a game they just paid $50 for.

The wonderful copy protection scheme on Doom3, wouldn't let me play it, but I can copy it? Something seems backwards here?

So what do you propose to do against piracy when a company is trying to make some honest money?

Don't get me wrong, I agree with your statement:
I shouldn't have to disable anything on my system or crack a game to be able to play my own legal copy of it.

Companies know that they cannot protect their products against knowledgeable hackers. They are protecting it against the majority of potential pirates that would just copy the thing if it were possible without any form of protection. And they seem to be able to get away with it.

You have a better idea of what they should/could do to protect their products? If you do, take up direct contact with the industry because you can make a lot of money then.

Don't get me wrong I do understand what you are saying, and I don't fully agree with what I said, strangely enough. As you said companies do have to try and protect there products, and they have set the bar high enough on most products, to keep many people from copying it.

However it seems they aren't really trying hard enough, there are many older games that run fine on my machine, that you can't copy in a very straightforward method, however the last three games I have purchased, I have had to crack to play on my computer.

Just rather aggravating to buy a new game, then figure how to get around the copy protection, just to play my legal copy of it. :frown:

seems to me they've simply decided too many folks are paying to play the games. perhaps they are trying to encourage piracy. for if you pay for the game and have to figure out how to hack into it to play it, you may as well be trying to steal it in the first place

Ever since the RIAA started its strong-arm tatics (acutally before), I stopped buying CDs, I haven't bought a CD in over 6 years. I won't be buying anymore in the near furture either.

Unfortunately I can't boycott games! :smile:

I just think there copy protection schemes are junk, right out of the box I could copy Doom, but I couldn't play it? Great scheme. Is it legal if I give the copy to someone, since I can't play it?? (joking)

Thats a great quote!

I dont understand.
If you own the legal copy, why do you have to figure out how to get around copy protection just to PLAY the game?

The only reason you would want to get around copy protection is to..... yep you guessed it, copy a game.

Because the copy protection scheme used on Doom3 won't let Doom run on my system. I bought Doom3 the day after it was released, and then suprise, on my fresh install of Windows XP, with no versions of CloneCD, or Acohol120, Nero, etc. installed, nothing but drivers and Windows, and Doom still says please insert Disc1 to play.

I tried exchanging the game, and spent 45 minutes on the phone with Activisions tech support, to no avail, Doom still won't run on my machine, unless I crack it. I have to install the game from the CDs, which works fine, then I have to install a No-CD crack.

FarCry does the same thing, my best guess is it is something with my hardware.

Yeah really sucks, but at least I finally found a good site for No-CD cracks that is reliable.

None of the tech guys at the software companies can tell me what it is about my system does this, but I have been told I am not the only one running into this problem.
