nekrosoft13 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 yes its possible i did it a million times don't have excact direction, but its very easy to figure out there are 4 cds make temp folder check each cd if there is compressed.zip file, if the same file is present on all cds, unzip it, combine all of them, and zip them up note: if files are diffrent, don't combine them start copying all cd 4 to cd1 to temp folder (remmember about the compressed.zip files burn it with what ever label you want don't need orca for this, EA games are very easy to convert Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/400750-nfs-most-wanted-cds-converted-to-dvd-possible/#findComment-586839398 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nekrosoft13 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 yes thats why i keep my original cd to play and use the dvds for install, its allot better to install of dvd Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/400750-nfs-most-wanted-cds-converted-to-dvd-possible/#findComment-586839860 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramik Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Well, this doesn't work. i copied all 4 cds into one folder, and made an iso out from this folder, after the install arrives at 100%, it asks to insert disk #2, cancelling the setup will uninstall the whole. i used as label "NFSMW_DISC1", any other idea ??

ramik Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Ok, I found a way to convert them to CD in addition to the copying of the 4 CD's to one folder, you need also to change the common_filelist.txt file, by changing the number of the 3 lines at the end from 2 3 4 to 1, so the file should look like this: 1,1,Support\EA Help\*.* /s 1,1,Support\European Help Files\*.* /s 1,1,Support\*.* 1,1,eauninstall.exe 1,1,server.dll 1,1,server.cfg 1,1,speed.exe 1,1,shell_inst.exe 1,1,safemode_inst.exe 1,1,NFSMW_icon.ico 1,1, 1,1, 1,1, 1,1,00000000.256 in this way you can install from DVD, but still you need the 1st CD in the drive to play...

nekrosoft13 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 forgot to mention that part in every EA game, if there is common_filelist.txt open the file and edit the first number from 2,3,4 to 1 first number stands for CD number Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/400750-nfs-most-wanted-cds-converted-to-dvd-possible/#findComment-586885844 Share on other sites More sharing options...
