How to run the game WITHOUT the CD

[beethovenite]

I remember back in the day, I was able to download some kind of a CD file and install it on my computer. After I used my ACTUAL CD to install the game, I never needed the physical CD ever again.

 

Know what I'm talking about? I want to find this file so that I don't have to worry about inserting my CD in the computer...

 

thanks in advance!

 

p.s. if anyone wants to play multiplayer email me at beethovenite@gmail.com!

Make your own ISO image. There are numerous tools online to do so

And none seems to work (for me, at any rate...). However, if you can get your paws on Rebellion Reloaded, you'll get a game with over all better models, cards and skin PLUS nocd capacity...

You need a tool to mount the image as well. Daemon tools works great for that.

I never found daemon tools to be user friendly... Never worked properly on my computer.

Daemon tools works great if you have a properly ripped .iso, if your cd was scratched beforehand, well... consult the dark corners of the Internet.

 

You can also follow the setup directions in the Windows Vista/7 Compatibility thread and offload all the cd contents to hard drive, merge the custom registry file, and use my custom 1.02 rebellion executable. The game will then be playable without the CD, but you will need a CD to install the game. The game actually seems far more stable will all contents on hard drive, fewer rebexe.exe so it is the way to go imo.
