Lan play with one CD?

[HatRat]

Does anybody know if it's possibly to play a LAN game with less cd's than you have computers?

[visu]

It should work with a no-cd-crack

Rubbish last night Lan proved:
you need to coipy those musicfiles in that common folder.
(Copy the Music directory from the 2nd CD to \Master of Orion 3\GameDataSets\Classic_01\GameAssets\Common path)
Then you only need the cd to start up the game.. give it arround ;=)
Works smooth :=)

//And to all who said you cant LAn w/o playing it solo first: bah!

Keep getting a weird error

I am trying to play multiplayer with one cd, on a couple machines but when I do all the dancing around with swappin the CDs i get an error stating: Mismatched Version.

All the games, of course, are of the same version (since its the same cd that installed them). I have found more luck without using the crack no cd, and buring extra copies of the cds, but still have this problem?

any suggestions?

I burned a copy of disk 2, but it only autoruns and then dumps to desktop when I try to start the game. The only way I've gotten it to work is with the no-cd crack. Not sure about the mismatch version thing, but try it with the crack. Again, you can get it at http://www.gamecopyworld.com
Hope that helps get you multi in lan
