BroodWar NO CD!

Recommended Posts

So for those of you that have starcraft broodwar installed but you lost your cd or the cd doesn't work anymore here is something for especially for you! Just follow these instructions, download and decompress the file and wala you can play sc without the cd!

 

For those of you with a slow download this will take forever it is over 500 MB.

 

Click here for the Brood War install file!

 

- StarCraft and StarCraft: BroodWar no longer require the CD while playing the game. To play without the CD, please follow the following instructions:

 

Windows Users:

- Make sure you have "Hide extensions for known types" unchecked. To do this please use the following steps:

- Click Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Windows Explorer

- Click on Tools -> Folder options (Windows Vista users may have to press the Alt key to see the tools option at the top of the window)

- Click on the View Tab In the list, look for the "Hide extensions for known file types" option, and make sure that it is unchecked.

- Click OK to save the changes.

- Now you will need to copy some files from the Game CDs

 

- If you own only StarCraft, copy "INSTALL.EXE" from the StarCraft CD to your StarCraft folder and rename it to "StarCraft.mpq".

 

- If you own StarCraft: Brood War, copy "INSTALL.EXE" from the StarCraft: Brood War CD to your StarCraft folder and rename it to "BroodWar.mpq". If you wish to play the StarCraft original missions then please copy and rename the install file from the original StarCraft CD as well, as listed directly above.

 

Mac users:

- If you own only StarCraft, copy "StarCraft Archive" from the StarCraft CD to your StarCraft/StarCraft Files/ folder.

- If you own StarCraft: Brood War, copy "Brood War Archive" from the StarCraft: Brood War CD to your StarCraft/StarCraft Files/ folder. If you wish to play the StarCraft original missions then please copy the Starcraft Archive file from the original StarCraft CD as well, as listed directly above.

Really this isn't new? :swoon:

 

NO. The patch has been out for a long time dorkus. :D DON"T SPAM MY THREADS!

 

I just now "realized" that no one has given a link to the install file nor the instructions to go along with it. So I uploaded the file so that if anyone has the game, just not the cd, and they would like to play the game; this is a way for them to do so. Did you not read my post or are you just randomly spamming crap on the site?

But it doesn't have the install.exe file. These are specific instructions for the install.exe file for people that don't have their cd anymore. Not for people that can follow your directions. Please re-open this thread and read it before you start being closing happy! :threaten:
