Is it possable to make a bootable pc game from a iso of a zip image with icon?

actually all of you are misleading the lad.... ALLL OF YOU!!! I understand completely what he is trying to say: He wants to "boot" a game created as an iso file without having to burn to disc....

The key word is "boot" and it is very much possible to boot iso's without burning to disc...

You need programs like Alcohol 120% that allows you to boot iso files in a kind of "virtual drive"

Yes, it IS possible to create virtual drives and boot iso files..

Some games, once the game is installed, can be patched with a hacked version of the main exe file to run without having to boot the game.....

I you want to make a single exe file, with IS possible: you need to use a program called Thinstall which will batch all the files and create a virtual registry so that you may be able to run this game on any computer which supports the game...

*snip* has a vast selection of hacked EXE files from various games that allow you to play the games once installed without having to boot the disc again...

Now there are flaws, the more complex the game, the more likely it is that this can fail and won't work... old games from the 90's tend to work find with this method.

It would help if you stated the game you are talking about...

Everyone, if you dont know what you are talking about, just dont talk....

With Thinstall, it works like this: it captures the difference of the previous registry database with the database after you installed the game.... also, it captures all the new files that appeared in your computer. Thus getting a hold of all essential reg keys and application files needed to run the game. Then it makes it into a single EXE file....


So everyoen who keeps saying "no" just hold your tongue unless you know for sure

Paratech, thanks for pulling me up, i didnt see that, I should learn to take my own advice lol...


If the game doesnt require reg keys, then I highly recommend NOT using it as it CAN cause limitations, or simply not work.... Like I said, Thinstall works wonders for smaller programs.... in my experience using it, I have managed to portablize programs as big as Microsoft Office 2007 flawlessly, whereas programs like Adobe Premiere Pro did not work after Thinstalling....

I have not tried more recent games, but for older games Thinstall has worked either well or with minor limitations (as in the inability to save)...
