So I downloaded a game throught bit torrent and the four discs came as iso files. I mounted them in Daemon tools and installed the game fine. The problem arises when I try to launch the game to play it. The opening screen comes up and when I click on the "play game" button a little dialogue box comes up and says "wrong disc inserted." I have tried mounting all four discs when I start the game...each disc individually, and have tried it with no discs mounted but I still get the same error message. Any ideas how I can launch the game? Thanks.

You need a 'no-cd' patch which you can probably find at http://www.gamecopyworld.com/

I had a game like this and in the first ISO (Disc 1), there was a patch file in the form of the game start EXE which needed to replace the normal (installed), EXE before it was possible to play it. Replacing the files allowed you to play as normal. Though, I'm not sure how that will work with Daemon Tools since I actually burnt the ISOs to disc and installed the full game.

this works well...some new games can detect daemon, and this hides it so that the game thinks you're actually using a disk.
