CDROM question

Post by dmg0122 »

I am trying to play diablo 2 (old i know haha) and I have ISOs not the actual cds. I got the game installed but when I want to play it, it asks for the play disc. I have tried to direct wine to use a mounted directory but it looks like it just checks my cdrom drive not the mounted iso.

it also might be a permissions thing because I can only mount the image as root and it is saying it is read-only i tried mount -o remount,rw so i could chown/chmod it but no dice any suggestions?

You have found a security feature with the mount command, but that does
not mean that the mount point has to be root only. You can create a
mount point that is world readable (664) if you need to.

Next step is to use winecfg and make the image appear as if it is the D:
drive.

Both of these have been discussed elsewhere in the forum.

Alternative -

If you LEGALLY own the game. There is a website gamecopyworld that provides patches that disable the check.
