Re: Command & Conquer NO DVD-ROM / CD-ROM Fix
Again, The First Decade is not one game. It's six games. and the reason it no longer works is because Microsoft released a patch that disables SafeDisc/SecuROM, the DRM system used by TFD. It is unrelated to the disc itself.
The Unofficial 1.03 patch for TFD already removed all requirements for the DVD anyway. Though many of its patches have been rendered obsolete by newer unofficial patches:
Command & Conquer 1:
- Nyerguds' C&C95 v1.06c revision 3 patch (which also adds bonus missions originally exclusive to the Playstation and Nintendo 64 versions of the game)
Red Alert 1:
- Funkyfr3sh's automatic Red Alert 1 patcher/installer
- Nyerguds' main.mix cleanup for TFD/TUC (Not really needed, but cleans up about a gigabyte of unnecessary files in the RA1 folder. Unpack in the game folder, run "patch_main.bat", let it finish, and then delete the files you extracted.)
Tiberian Sun:
Red Alert 2:
- The graphics system patch DDWrapper is known to solve the "black screen" issue.
Download the zip file and extract "ddraw.dll" and "aqrit.cfg" into your game folder. Then, open the configuration file "aqrit.cfg" in Notepad, change the "ForceDirectDrawEmulation" option to 1, save the file, and the game should work.
