uptightjj Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) I used to have MVP Baseball 05 on an older PC of mine, but I built my own new gaming rig recently and didn't install a disc drive (Didn't see the need to) So I installed MVP Baseball from a flash drive that had all of my old game files on it and after installing the 2015 Total Conversion mod I mounted the game images to play, but it says that I need to insert the disc into the disc drive. Please note that I AM NOT pirating the games, I DO have my own copy. I mounted with Daemon tools. If anyone knows how to run the game without having the disc in the drive it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!

Homer Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 it should work just fine if you mount disc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uptightjj Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 I did and it says I still need to insert the disc to play...It installs just fine and I've updated with all 5 patches, the 2015 Mod, and the 2015 Mod Patch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 something wrong with the images or daemon tools then. don't know on this one. it's pretty straight forward. i'd try an older version of daemon tools or rebooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uptightjj Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 do you know of any other virtual drive program to try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRog Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 you could get an external usb cd drive.i dont understand not installing a cd drive on a gaming rig... i understand everything these days is usually downloaded over the internet, but still..... you never know when you buy something and the software they give you is a disc and not downloadable online. Ran into this problem one time with hauppage. if i download from their website i need to pay for the software again. if i install from the disc its free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kccitystar Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I have an external DVD drive that I sparingly use for OS reinstalls/motherboard drivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRog Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I have an external DVD drive that I sparingly use for OS reinstalls/motherboard driversbut see you still have one, hence my suggestion of getting an external.... you kind of reinforced it that sometimes you need the cd drive still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raidersbball20 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Virtual clone drive is free and mounts images. Not sure if it would work for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordo Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I've tried using ImgBurn to make a backup, but could never get it to do so for Disk 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uptightjj Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 I use Gamejack 5.Thanks, I'll try that and get back to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uptightjj Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 but see you still have one, hence my suggestion of getting an external.... you kind of reinforced it that sometimes you need the cd drive still Guess I never really saw the outstanding need until now. I even installed windows on a bootable USB key I made. The only reason I didn't get one in the first place was because I cut my costs down and went with the cheapest MOBO I could find (no IDE ports) and I have no SATA disc drives and never came across a time I needed one...until now!!! On top of that I'm not sure if my MVP 05 would even get a clean read considering all of the built up scratches over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 it's not that big of a deal as long as you have a drive somewhere. i have it on my desktop and nowhere else. they're really becoming obsolete, but that means you can get one for really cheap. you can get a sata drive for dirt cheap on craigslist i bet. i have a place here that recycles computers and sells them for a non-profit so they've always got them. either way they're dirt cheap to have a drive.i also snagged one off a computer i was recycling.

I guess I could use that as my final option, but I was really hoping to at least find some way to do what I want to do. Like I said not sure if my discs will even read anymore :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
