Command & Conquer NO DVD-ROM / CD-ROM Fix
Hello, in this post, I will tell you how to fix the error "No DVD-ROM" and "No CD-ROM".
What's the cause of this error?
The cause of this error is the disc.
So what is the solution?
The solution is simple - You need to get the game in a digital way (through Origin).
Does it mean I need to buy it again?
Maybe and maybe not!
I suggest contacting an Origin advisor, they might transfer your game(s). All you need to do is prove that you own the game, do that by showing them picture(s) of it.
How do I get a pictures of my game?
First, you need to take a picture of it (by using a cell phone, etc).
Then through your cell phone, send it to an E-mail you have access to (you might need to copy-paste the pictures from your gallery).
After that, attach the pictures to the case (ask an advisor how).
I hope you find this post helpful!
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.
