Description

Script for the classic Command And Conquer Red Alert (1995 ?), released as freeware ISO CD images by EA Games to promote Red Alert 3 (2008). However if you use those ISO images, they will need to be burned to disc for this game to work correctly.

anyb	Messages Hi. Installer expecting CD to be burned. Is there any workaround for Notebook without CD-ROM drive at all? Réponses Ronin DUSETTE Jeudi 4 Juin 2015 à 20:57 Unfortunately, if you only have a CD, but not drive, you might have to copy the disc to a flash drive and try to point the installer to the flash drive. That is just what comes to mind. It should work, though. anyb Jeudi 4 Juin 2015 à 21:49 Thank you for response. After your suggestion I have tried following procedure: 1. Format USB Flash drive (FAT/NTFS/ext4) 2. Copy .iso using dd command: sudo dd if=/.../isofile.iso of=/dev/sdX 3. Run the PlayOnLinux script Unfortunately, none of these file system works. In case FAT it was total failure (something about drive being inaccessible), for NTFS/ext it was exact same error as if I use mount command. I'm leaving this message out to not waste time and efforts of anybody who might look into this in future. Ronin DUSETTE Jeudi 4 Juin 2015 à 22:02 Wait, this was an ISO? where did you get it from? anyb Jeudi 4 Juin 2015 à 22:15 When EA was advertising RA3 they provide RA1 for free. Here is webarchive: http://web.archive.org/web/20080913232303/http://www.ea.com/redalert/news-detail.jsp?id=62 (link to download might be out dated now). I've downloaded it back then. This copy of iso certainly was working under Windows (mounted) because I was using it like that back then via DeamonTools I think. Ronin DUSETTE Jeudi 4 Juin 2015 à 22:18 Oh ok. Cool. You should be able to mount it in Linux the same way, but using a different program. We don't support ISO mounting, but it is really simple to find by doing a little searching. ;)
