k, now that I am on the computer with the game installed, I'll try to run through all the things I have.
actually before this, with the "disc" thing, I'm gonna assume you've ran execle2.exe and MPE.EXE file. Those two exe files won't run the game, but they'll need to be patched.
[ISO+MDS], [Alsignup tool], [Update1.2.exe], [MPE.exe Noregion-update1.2 + Setup.exe-noregion]
4 rar files in total, check and see if you happen to miss anything after extracting all the rar files.
1. load virtual disc and without running the setup from the disc, copy to your hdd and run.
I just copied the whole files out of disc to do this. It worked though.
2. Run both no-region patch files in the folder the game is installed.
I forgot this step before. extract the files to the game folder and run those two.
3. Run execle.exe file. while having the key input window up, patch Alsignup tools.
like I said above, no execle2.exe, or MPE.exe. Those two won't run the game even after all the patch.
you'll see this window that looks like CD-key input screen. without closing the window by hitting cancel or x, search for ASign folder from ProgramData folder from your OS-installed drive, then extract the Alsignup tool file and run.
4. Close the CD-key window after done patching, and run execle.exe again and see if the game runs.
no explanation here. you can close the window now and re-run execle.exe. if you see a window with Delta logo, then voila. If you're still seeing the CD-Key, try to patch alsign again. Patch will produce old and (funkyname).sig file, and hope for the best.
I think that's all I can think of at the moment, and I was thinking of snapping some screenshots, but I didn't want to uninstall my game to try it again, cuz it was a bit of hustle to go through again so,,
