Heroes 3 Complete.

Hi, I realize this is not really the place to ask this sort of question but I am going to anyway, cause I can't find another way to do so.

I have about 3 copies of homm3 complete.. well I should say 3 install disks, 3 boxs, 3 manuals, and only 1 play disk.  After several years of play on my disk, it has finally deteriorated to a level that my cdrom wil no longer read the disk.  Anything anyone knows about that I can do to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

There are special CD cleaners utilities that could help. However it depends mostly on how bad the disk is right now.
In the future I suggest using CD-image creating utility that way the game disks won't deteriorate.

use google and you will find the file you need. using the play disk is inconvenient and causes extra overhead no reason to do this even if you have the disk.

I don't think the advice describe described above is legal...
Let's keep the discussion in legal waters.

it's easy to edit few bytes in heroes3.exe so game will run without CD. not sure how legal is that. and i haven't tested it...

Thanks all, I was able to revert my copy of heroes complete into SOD which will allow me to join a multiplayer game, just not to host, or play single players. Which of course is perfectly fine.

no it is totaly LEGAL to take a back-up for your original game if the game company states otherwise. We didn't had images at Homm3 years.
because all you pay for a game is its licence not the actual cd.

Yes, its legal to make a backup of your own game, but the advice here was not a copy of HIS COPY of the game, but of another's.
In any case, distribution of it would be highly illegal anyway.

Yeah. Download WoG. It includes a no cd exe with the add on to SoD. And if you have HoMM3/SoD, you should include WoG to double the amount of fun.

You are able to reserve an Avatar when you have written enough posts. (not sure how many).

You can download WoG here Be sure to click the allinon1.zip to get the addon.
WoG is an unofficial addon to H3. Created by avid fans to prolong the life of H3, which is perhaps one of the best games of all time.

You know, downloading roms to emulators are perfectly legal. IF you got the orginal game.
This is why i enjoy images, they are only emulated CDs. So i can download them anywhere, but i can only use them legaly if i allready got a copi.
