No DVD patch wineskin

Post by raigonn »

Hi everyone!

I'm french, but I will try to speak english as clearly as possible :p

So... I have already installed a Windows game with Wineskin: but this game can be played without the CD.

Now I try to install another one. But when I launch it, it is written "please insert the DVD....", juste like Windows OS. Under Windows OS, it also need the DVD to run. But I have found a .mds and .mdf files, once mount with deamon tool, those file emulate the DVD.
But, under windows os, the others patch I have found don't work: it says "target file size mismatched. Patched failed". All the patch target the same file: "game.dat" and try to replace it. And even if I replace manually the game.dat file, it doesn't work. I think the problem comes from the fact that the new game.dat is for the english version only.

Unfortunately under Mac OS, and wineskin, if I try to replace the game.dat file directly, I have the same problem than under windows. And if I mount the .mds and .mdf files (directly by changing .mdf extension by dmg or iso, or with deamon tool), the systeme doesn't "see" the emulated DVD.

Finally, I have this forum --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=619250
It describes how to mount an iso image in wine (to act as a cd). Exactly what I want, but the procedure is under Ubuntu, I've tried to do the procedure for Mac. But it doesn't correspond.

So, my question is: do you have a procedure to do this under Mac OS?

Thank you! :)

Unlike Linux, Wine on OS X doesn't have the same drive access abilities... it can just read the mounted folders. If the program has an actual no DVD patch, which changes the files to not need the disc.

Mounting with Daemon Tools, etc.. is not a no-disc patch, its just mounting a disc image just like really having the disc in a drive.
