--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- patch 1.15.2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Feature Changes
- StarCraft and StarCraft: BroodWar no longer require the CD while playing the
game. To play without the CD, please follow the following instructions:
- Windows Users:

Explorer Folder Options.
- If you own only StarCraft, copy "INSTALL.EXE" from the StarCraft CD to
your StarCraft folder and rename it to "StarCraft.mpq".
- If you own StarCraft: Brood War, copy "INSTALL.EXE" from the StarCraft:
Brood War CD to your StarCraft folder and rename it to "BroodWar.mpq".
- Mac users:
- If you own only StarCraft, copy "StarCraft Archive" from the StarCraft CD
to your StarCraft folder.
- If you own StarCraft: Brood War, copy "Brood War Archive" from the
StarCraft: Brood War CD to your StarCraft folder.
Um.. the mac part is wrong. That won't work. What you need to do is:
Insert Starcraft or Brood War CD
Open Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities/Disk Utillity.app)
Select "Session 1" ontop of "Brood War CD" or "Starcraft CD"
Click "New Image"
Save As: "Brood War CD" or "Starcraft CD"
Image Format "Read Only"
Encryption "None"
Press Save
May take a while to create.
When it is done, eject your disk. Open the Brood War.dmg, and load starcraft. YAY!!
...Have you tried to do what the patch notes say?, because it has nothing to do with creating an image.
This works for everything,.
Yes, but you said that the patch was wrong.
None.

I actually thought the patch was all a joke, up until now...
I just logged onto battle.net no patch to download... so this is a joke... My "No disk" still works!
None.
Quote from MillenniumArmy
Lol, after dling the patch I can get on East but not west; it gives me an error.
Guess that's one more reason why East > West
Quite the opposite. Due to Modders now being more awesome, productive, and more popular than mappers, we can now use West so our latest FG version works.
Another reason why West > East, lolol.
None.
Responsible for my own happiness? I can't even be responsible for my own breakfast
Gods dammit!
You know, you just can make an .iso of StarCraft AND YOU WON'T NEED TO HAVE A SC CD!
bwahahahaha
None.

ICCup Launcher have a no-CD crack in it already, so this was kinda unuseful. Anyone tried Europe yet?
Europe and Asia is 1.15.1
None.

You are both wrong (OP and Test) while the method you described is close, the proper method is to put it in the "StarCraft Files" folder for mac, not the StarCraft folder.
Test, the DMG trick that you described (I think I told you it...) works for all blizzard games, but not all games (most though.)
The patch is indeed real, but it only exists on East.
this too shall pass
u guys like to SuperQuote...
None.
I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.
I just udpated it and installed StarCraft.mpq and BroodWar.mpq....
I can play both without cds... but my sc is about 2 gigs now...
If this will be required for b-net, we will have a perfect way to create small maps and include campaign sounds in our maps.
wuhu, I only need to learn an easy way to create the connection in my maps...
We can already use broodwar campaign sounds, can't we?
None.
Europe and Asia is 1.15.1
So let me get this straight West,Europe,And Asia are all 1.15.1 and East has to download it
.I think Blizzard hates East
.
Although if I am thinking right this could be the last patch due to the effort and what it does.
Btw:can someone answer me this I thought about what the patch does and mods since mods require the disc but,starcraft now doesn't uhhh do we need a fix for mods?
None.
Whats with the fuss about not being able to go on West? I can go on any server, with or without the CD. =/
None.
I guess it just got updated on the other gateways.
None.
Ok, as odd as it seems, not all people are average/pros. There are some people that don't even know Starcraft could be played w/o CD's... So they made this legal way of doing it public for all.
Now, reasons I hate them:
1. NO FG!!!!!!
2. NO FG!!!!!
3. NO FG!!!!
4. NO FG!!!
5. NO FG!!
6. NO FG!
7. I was in middle of a jail break game and it annoyingly said I disconnected...
None.
Tell DoA that and then lets see what happens
.
None.
Again, Firegraft got cut down a while after it was released. (Although, IMO, this should not have a very big effect on FG at all.)
If anything cool is ever going on Skype me up under the name "blarghle"
All hope for FG is not lost. As long as the EXEs are the same (for the most part) it wouldn't make much of a difference unless they completely restructured everything.
