I think the question covers it.

The answer is: mount it as a loopback filesystem.

How easy this will be to do depends on what sort of computer you are using.

I think you can .zip it across several thousand floppy disks.

I am using an old computer. and old gateway pc that generally plays most avi/divx files capably. one that can't even read dvd-r's. (the plan was to wait until a friend of mind finally gets their broadband setup and send it right over.)
What is a loopback filestream?

there is a program called daemon tools, it creates a virtual drive that you can mount files from and basically works as if you burned it onto a disc. i think it mounts iso's. then you could just watch it with vlc player.

and it definetely does mount iso's because i just tried.

I had this problem a while ago and then discovered, with the help of ILE, that the freeware VLC Player (which I already had) will play iso files just fine, just like that.

Arrgh – I tell a lie. It was a .bin file, not a .iso one.

that might work too actually. vlc is very very good with all sorts.

― local eire man (darraghmac), Wednesday, 18 February 2015 00:54 (ten years ago)

― Mistah FAAB (sarahell), Wednesday, 18 February 2015 04:55 (ten years ago)

check the video game folders for a readme with instructions, there's probably a crack file you need to install

― english fatuus (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 18 February 2015 05:27 (ten years ago)

is it a modern game or a classic game

― the late great, Wednesday, 18 February 2015 05:47 (ten years ago)

classic, 2002.

yeah seems I need a cracked main exe to swap in. need to hunt that down. I'd download and pay for the damn thing in an instant if I could find it

― local eire man (darraghmac), Wednesday, 18 February 2015 09:51 (ten years ago)

is the cracked exe not with the bundle somewhere? they usually are

― english fatuus (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 18 February 2015 10:12 (ten years ago)
