Can't Download Loco

Post by Adam64♂ »

I recently got a netbook and I can't put a CD into it because it has no disc drive. How do I get it on my laptop.

I believe there's plenty of sites that offer locomotion as a download purchase.. That should be fine.

Although if that's not an option for you you'll have to buy a usb CD drive. Or find a program that simulates a disk drive and runs from iso files, if that exists...

It was created to play loco on netbooks.

If you have another networked PC with a CD/DVD drive, install over the network.

The problem with that, is that that the Loco.exe has CD checking in it. so it is still unplayable without some hacking.

Portable Lomo lets you play from a thumbdrive without cd checking as long as you own a CD. I'm pretty sure it checks when you make the thumbdrive image. you can transfer the thumdrive folder to a netbook.

You just build the thumbdrive from any pc with a cd/dvd drive.
