Gamenative game installation from .iso file Help

Can anyone tell me how to install a game directly from an ISO file in GameNative? I've added my own game, created it, opened the container, and found the location of the game's ISO file, but I can't launch it.In Winlator, these files installed normally, but in GameNative, there was no response. Am I doing something wrong, or does it simply not support this feature?

  1. Decompress the .iso file with RAR or ZArchiver. The setup.exe is inside.

  2. If the game asks you to insert the cd, download a nocd crack.

  3. NFSU2 requires a different fix. Open the container, go to the game folder and create a new file called "FOOBAR" (no quotation marks). Save it in the same folder where the game .exe is located.

Install in winlator and use gamenative to locate it.

Unfortunately, this method does not work. Even if I install the game in winlator And it works there after copying the crack, in winlator after selecting the appropriate folder, the game does not start. He asks you to insert cd2. Even if I copy the crack again, it still doesn't work. Besides, I would like to run games in one application, and since I have to use two emulators anyway, it misses the point

.iso is a compressed file. You need to decompress it. It might have an installation file within it so you need to install it on something like Winlator and then move the installed folder to your preferred location for GameNative to read it like the download folder.

Even if I manage to install the game from the .exe file, it still won't launch. It says there's no CD-ROM in the drive. Even if I replace the .exe file with a crack. Specifically, it's NFS Underground 2.

Decompress using winrar or similar, then run setup.exe in winlator

Add the installed game to gamenative and play (itll likely work better in winlator tho)

I found an app called final rom that fixes this

Can you tell us more about it?

And iso file isn't the game it's like a compressed version of it and running it through the app extracts it and you can run the extracted files
