Thanks again for your help, WoodyZ and dlhotka!

Probably not. happy.gif

 

I made a copy of the files on the CDs on my computer and used Toast Titanium 11 to create the iso-images from the files. To be honest, I am not positive if the iso images are working 100% but I managed to install the games using them and there has not been a further problem besides the games complaining about no CD being there.

 

Since you have the original optical media have you tried using it instead and if yes does it work?

 

Have you tried making an ISO directly from the optical media, not copying files and making an image after the fact?

 

BTW Haven't look at the support bundle yet, however I will a bit later.

 

 

That's not an ISO.  You'll need to create an image directly from the optical disk.

 

You can rename a .cdr file to .iso - they are the same format.

 

Many windows games used Joilet (not ISO9660) format CD's by the way.  Making a direct image avoids the need to get all that right (and also preserves both the layout and any hidden files on the disc).

 

 

It took some time for me to find a program to do this, but now, I actually tried using the original CD and get the iso file directly from it. There is the same problem as before, though. The game still complains about not finding the CD.

I am going to try using the original CD directly to see if that works but in any case using the original CD is not what I actually try to do, but well, this may help with solving the problem.
