I downloaded Freedom Force and extracted it using Myth's installer. It is now on my harddrive. It is appx. 1 Gig. in size. I want to know what files I need to put on the CD in order to make it play from the CD drive other than my harddrive? Also, what is the best program to use for this?

thanks

Umm... rip games are not made to be played from a disc, they are only made to be played with all the files on your hard drive. It will likely be difficult to get it to play off of a disc.

Yeah, the full version of the game is one cd (well, actually, there is a bonus characters CD, but that is besides the point). The problem is that bigvisfan has the rip version (myth releases rips). When you install a ripped game, ALL of the game files are put, uncompressed onto your hard drive. PC games usually decompress data when they install it to your harddrive, so they can fit the whole game on one disc, yet when it is installed it will be like 1 GB.

No problem m8!! I was new to rips at one point too. Great if ya need to d/l a game, but want something that takes up a little less bandwidth.
