Hello,
Does anyone have a no-cd patch that is not a modified .exe file? I do not want a modified exe because I own the game so I would like to play on bnet. I have a cd image that I use for warcraft 3 (which I also own) which I can play online with. The reason that I ask this is because my laptop does not have a cd drive and I would like to play on it. Thanks, Ben |

Use the mini-image...Works fine, you just have to keep it in DT 4.10while playing. The mini-image doesn't modify any file in the game so it's perfect for playing online.

I haven't been able to find one. I have one for warcraft, but I can't get one for diablo 2 LOD.

No CD fix for D2 LoD
if you have access to another machine that has an optical drive, you can create your own image with Alcohol 120% (trial version works fine) and Daemon Tools (freeware), I don't know about making a mini-image, since the disc uses SecuROM 4.xx and not SafeDisc, but if you have HDD space for a full image, the method below should work fine.
With your LoD disc in the optical drive, launch Alcohol and choose Image Making Wizard. Check boxes for "Skip Reading Errors"; "Read Sub-Channel Data from current disc"; "Data Position Measurement (Precision: High)". I selected 12x for DPM on the next screen, but YMMV. If it doesn't work, try a slower speed. Accept defaults for everything else. Copy newly created .mds image (mine is 657.55 MB) to laptop via thumb drive or network. Download and install Daemon Tools on your laptop to mount the image. Worked like a champ for me, logged on to Bnet w/no modified .exe required! Hope this works for you, too!

You can't! The guy is talking about making a full image of the original LOD CD. Asking for that it's not allowed by the forum rules.
Use your original LOD CD to make such a image (CloneCD or Alcohol120% should be the programs that you want to use). |

if so then you might try reinstallying or it might just be diablo it's known too pop up with anoying little errors from time too time trying it again wont hurt also what OS are you useing |

Hi all, its my first post here - so be nice!
My brother has the original collection of D1 & D2 cd's, but has managed to put a fairly hefty scratch in the D2 play disc - which no longer works. This week he went and purchased a special edition "Battle Chest" box set (D2 install/play/cinematics discs v1.03, and the original diablo game disc). He asked me to make backup copies for him so that he could put the originals into safe storage. I tried using nero burner for the play disc, but when we did a test run it got knocked back (asked to insert the game disc). I'm not too sure whether my brother is really into the online gameplay, but is there any way i can make a set of backup copies for him? I havent had much experience backing up stuff like this, but if someone can point me in the direction of the right program to do the job, i'm more than capable of doing the rest!! Thanks for your help! Last edited by coxy321; 02-08-2008 at 11:39 AM. |

Use CloneCD. At the settings select Protected game. It should be able to make a 1:1 copy. That small program is perfect for backing up older games.
For newer games you need Alcohol 120%. |
