Hey guys, I have been trying for several hours now to reload BZII onto my sytem after not playing for several years however I can get it to 94% and then I hit a wall at Scion_dn.bik file.
Anyone able to make a suggestion on how to get around this.
I have tried it on 3 machines and it does the same thing in each case - I think its a scratch

Clean the disk with a solution of the following chemicals:

59% water
40% isopropyl alcohol
1% detergent

Nice little disk cleaner, works for me. CDs, vinyl records... you name it :lol:

Intresting result !
Now I can get to 95% and the install engine quits
Anyone seen that before?

Need some more details as to what youre running it on.

Do you have an installation of BZ2 on another machine at all? if you do you can just copy the files to a memory stick and move them to wherever you want.

See if you can copy the files ON THE DISC, onto youre computer directly (into mydocs or wherever), then find the correct setup file and run it from there. That MIGHT work, so long as you can copy them into mydocs

I have the same problem but it only gets up to data.pak. And AHadley cleaning solution does not work  :-(

I had a DVD at home that never played correctly. One coworker at work had a http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Innovations-10185-Motorized-AutoMax/dp/B00080YK9Y (or a close cousin), and that worked great.

haha never use store brand cleaners! they ruin your cds more than clean them! i once tried a disc doctor on a halo 1 disk and it fried it! then they wouldnt give me my money back because somehow i was responsible

A hand held one of those is why my Ace Combat Zero is useless. When in the light your disk has lines perpendicular to the correct direction, it wont work.

I recognize the orange thingy. It sometimes works, but I don't ever suggest using it for console games.

The installer has closed on me quite a lot, on two disks. One was my original, which snapped in half in the drive one time (no idea what caused it) and the other was a copy I had made to replace it (I assume there was something wrong with the copy)

Can't you download BZ2 from somewhere???

Yes.

Legally:
No

No

I beleive it is legal to download a copy of a game you legally own (though I am by no means certain), but since the link can't be posted on the board without attracting unwanted attention by SMF, it'd have to be PM'ed to you.

I have no such link.

I always keep a backup ISO of games on my harddrives, they're quite handy in a bind! :)
