Mounting and Playing ISO files and cracked games.

I am writing a guide for people who want to play cracked games. I believe in the freedom of information although be warned that downloading copyrighted material without permission is illegal. Also distributing it without permission is illegal. Anyways let's get started with the guide!

In order to play cracked games you need some sort of mounting software. I use daemon tools lite because of it's ease of use and nice gui. Also you will need a torrent downloader such as BitLord, Utorrent, Azureus, etc etc. My guide is written for torrent games only.

First off you need to download a cracked game. I usually download these from torrent websites, i.e. the piratebay, torrentz, or sumotorrent are just examples.
1. Find a game you want to download on a torrent website.
2. Read all comments people wrote about that particular file. If most people say its ok then it usually is.
3. Check the files being downloaded make sure you are in fact downloading a file with the extension .iso
4. Once you have completed the download open your mounting software (daemon tools etc)
5. Mount the .iso file you have downloaded using your software and run it. (mounting software spoofs a cd in your drive so the game recognizes that you have the cd loaded even if you actually dont.
6. Once mounted it will prompt you to run an .exe file that usually installs the game.
7. Install it to any folder you designate and keep the folder open.
8. Go back to the folder containing the downloaded .iso file and extract it to another folder anywhere using winzip or winrar or any other extracting software you have.
9. Open the folder you extracted the .iso file to. (you are doing this after you have already mounted the software.)
10. You will see a folder named "CRACK" usually. DO NOT COPY THE ACTUAL FOLDER. open the "Crack" folder.
11. Go back to the folder you installed the game into using your mounting software.
12. Copy all files from the crack folder (and overwrite them all if it asks you to) to the folder you installed the game to using the mounting software.
13. once this is finished look for the application executable (it is usually one of the files that is replaced when u copy the cracked files over) it will say "application" next to it.
14. Once the cracked files are copied over to the game installation folder the game should work.
15. Run the executable or create a shortcut for yourself on your desktop to the application executable.
16. Make sure you do this for every cracked game you download and also make sure to remount the particular iso for the game you are trying to play. (if you have skyrim iso mounted and you want to play dead island it wont work.) if you want to play skyrim, mount the skyrim iso you originally downloaded. If you already mounted it, it stays mounted until you mount another game iso. (fyi im using skyrim and dead island as examples as these are the two latest cracked games i have downloaded.
