To make BF1942.exe v1.61 portable, just change byte at offset 0x0009510A from 0x75 to 0xEB. Or use BF1942 portable executable: http://team-simple.org/download/bf1942- … atched.zip

This is even easier. Thanks.

Meh, I'm sure there is a way. Today I tried Cameyo which promises a full virtual portable enviroment, including registry, by wrapping it all in a single .exe. But I sadly still got the invalid cd key error. I really thought that would work.

EDIT: Nevermind! Success! Turns out the program does work as I expected, I just booted a wrong snapshot. I now probably have the first full true portable version of bf1942 in the world. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Outgoing connections are banned so only LAN is possible.
I found a small discussion on the topic here but no solution.

That swimming tip is really nice.

Thanks for your answers. I am not tech savy enough, nor do I think the bad school computers can handle bud's solution so we have just been enjoying ourselves with the BF1942 SW demo.

Hi Dynd, BF1942.exe needs to read CD-key from registry. I will try to patch it to make it portable, but no promises it will be done.

Alright, here's to good hope!

Me and my classmates have been playing the multiplayer demo of the game for the past two years pretty much every day instead, because that does work.
But we are getting kind of tired of it by now hehe.

Is there ANY way to get this running on a PC (school) that doesn't allow writing to registry?
I'm trying to play LAN with some classmates but any 'portable' version I can find just gives the "invalid cd-key" error, probably because writing the CD keys to the registry is forbidden on the computers.

I tried every ''portable'' version but none seem to be truly stand-alone and not need the registry, I also tried the Origin version of the game with the http://par.nofate.me/ trick but it just closes the game after "Validating.".
Please help. hmm
