bartvbl Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 This is about the LEGORacers.icd file in the root folder of the game. I think this is the lego racers.exe file meant for older versions of the microsoft windows operating system. The first bytes of the file are "MZ", and searching on the web for that gave this: http://www.fileformat.info/format/exe/corion-mz.htm A bit of text saying "This game cannot be run in DOS mode" seems to confirm that.

JrMasterModelBuilder Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 In deed it is an EXE with an ICD extension. Changing the extensions to EXE will show you the wheel icon. Trying to run it though, doesn't seem to do anything. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartvbl Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 that is because it is for older windows computers (I think windows NT or win95/98 or something like that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acmex Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Hmm... I have "access" to a a Win95 OS HDD at school. I'll put LRR on a Flash Drive and try to try it there. Maybe. If I have time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JrMasterModelBuilder Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 With all of the compatability settings on and at Win 95, it comes up, turns my screen black and changes the resolution, then, I asume, crashes. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrem Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 No, open any EXE in hex you'll most likely find most start with 'MZ'. As I said in the other topic, I'm pretty sure that the game exe the you usually run checks for the disc then executes the ICD file. Why? because the original copy of RR has an exe around 300kb and the ICD is around 700kb. Now with my disc-less version of RR, my main exe is the exact same size of the ICD mentioned before, however the ICD with my version is 0kb.

sciguy Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Create an ISO, and mount it into a virtual drive. That can help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JrMasterModelBuilder Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 It seems re-releases were made disk-less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can help tried. didn't work http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SafeDisc Probably this is why, which happens to explain the function of the game.icd file.

sciguy Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I tried it many times and failed. Ended up being the slug avi. I copied the rest of the stuff. Copied and renamed the bat AVI to fill in for the slug avi, then I was able to make an iso. Oh, wait.... This is Lego Racers, and I'm talking about LRR xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
