I wanted to try Command and Conquer 3 on my new MacBook Pro. This is a game that I purchased and own a unique serial number for, but my DVD is in a box in California and I am in New York. I have the liner notes with the serial on it though, so I torrented a DMG of the game and installed it. However, the game wants me to have the disk installed in order to play and having OS X mount the DMG isn't fooling it. I don't have Toast anymore so I'm at a loss as to how to fool OS X into thinking the physical disk is here. Any ideas?

You don't need Toast to burn a DMG to a CD. Just use Disk Utility.

Well I'm not trying to burn it. I think it's actually a dual layer DVD that it comes on and I'm pretty sure my MacBook Pro doesn't burn dual layer DVDs.

If it's a new (unibody) ProBook, it can definitely write dual layer DVDs.

Even mounting it in disk utility doesn't work for some games. I've found only toast will be able to mount those so the game thinks it's actually a real disk and will play.
