Do you want a full image, or just a mini-image to start BF2?

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

If you got the game installed, use daemon tools ot keep the minicd image form gamecopyworld mounted. It's like a crack, just without the replacing exe and pb kicks.

Save the image to My Documents, download/open Deamon Tools, place the image, run YASU and hide, go go go.

I just want a mini-image.

Can someone do like a list-guide (1, 2, 3, 4...) because I really don't want to fuck this up.

1. Download a mini-image. Read reviews to make sure it works. It should be a small file - not very big (ie not 2GB)
2. Download and install Daemon Tools.
3. Mount the image in Daemon Tools
4. Play Battlefield 2 at your own risk

I've been using BLH-BF2.mds since 05.

Remember to not install the spywarez when installing Daemon Tools.

Mini images will not do anything to your game, they will not break PB or anything else. At worse the image would be rejected and the game would ask for the DVD/CD to be inserted.

Minis are simply a copy of the data that the game checks for on the original disc to be sure the game disc is in the drive. I have mini's for all my games except COD4 and only because no one has been able to make one for it yet.

No. Punkbuster can detect mini images as possible threats, and then take action against this.

Explain how please. I've never heard nor seen it happening and I've been using minis since COD1.

PB works primarily by calculating checksums on installed content. Making sure the files haven't been tampered with. AFAIK PB doesn't check for original discs, never have I seen anything in regards to PB saying that it does. A Google on the subject says no as well.

I think you are mistaken, PB checks for modified content, an image has the original content just only the parts the game reads when doing a disc check.

1. Go to http://www.daemon-tools.cc and download this program, here is the dowload page http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/downloa … mp;catid=5

2. Install D-Tools on your pc.

3. Run the program after you have installed it.

4. Download these 2 files and place them in your battlefield folder located with the bf2.exe.
http://www.bf2stats.nl/bf2mini-skl.mdf
http://www.bf2stats.nl/bf2mini-skl.mds

5. Now right click on the icon in tray, click on "Virtual CD/DVD-Rom >", click on "Device 0: [...:] No media >", click on "Mount image"

6. Go to the folder where you placed those 2 files and select bf2mini-skl.mds

7. Now d-tools has created an image of your bf2 cd

8. Right click the icon again, and click exit. The program doesnt need to run, because it has always mounted an image now.

If you have done everything correctly you should see a new dvd drive called something like "BF2 DVD". Now bf2 wont ask for the cd anymore, and punkbuster can't see this as some people say.

Hope that helps!

I have used mini-images for BF2 for probably 2 years now, and I haven't had a problem.

Some aren't detected, but others can be mistaken for cheats and thus action occurs.

BF2 is bound to bite you in the ass after you do this.

And never will, PB doesnt even look at the disk, it gets verified when the game is run and that's that, if the image is rejected the game doesn't open, that's all, PB isn't even an issue, anyone who say's it is has their vocal cords in their sphincter.
