hey .. im wondering how does those lan shop out there manage to install their games onto the pc yet it can work without the orginal cd ... anyone can teach me how to do that ?
 
or a program which is used to save your cd or dvd rom from spinning for 12 hrs a day...

WHICH I am arguing is legal...

Its called a "no cd crack" Basically someone rewrites the exe to not require the cd to start the game.

I would have had the same question, but do No CD cracks affect the performance of the game when you are playing it?

Also, I believe it is legal too, some games actually give you a NO CD crack with the game so it would have to be legal...
 
My friend uses a program called "Game Drive" or "Virtual Drive" if I'm not mistaken. He heard about it through a PC Gamer demo.

However, it doesn't work on all games, are at least not on the older games.

where can i get those???:D
*evil grin*
 
just look on gamecopyworld.com, you will either get a no-cd crack or a very small disk image file which you should mount with daemon tools (it's free) and it should work
 
I'm not too sure that it's completely legal however. Besides, most of the games that I play don't require the CD anyways.

It's not that hard to put a CD in your optical drive is it? :D
 
once you install daemon tools (it takes a restart) right click on its icon in the task bar, hover the mouse over "virtual cd/dvd-rom", hover over "device 0 (or 1, 2, etc)", click mount image, and find the image file and open it, again this is only necessary for no-cd cracks that tell you to mount the file you get
 
since when? I just dl'ed it for someone like less than a week ago and there wasn't anything bundled with it, but if there is, does it affect the older versions too or just the newest one?
 
This topic, whilst arguably legal is getting pretty damn close to that grey line. Thankfully the sticky thread mentioned in the forum rules that you all has a little clause that lets me interpret things how I see fit. As legal or illegal as this may be, two things:
1. Your question has been answered.
2. As for legality, we all know it's (relatively) legal to use noCDs when you own the product (although I think there are laws against tampering with intellectual property, not necesarily stealing ... tampering ... but I'm not here to play lawyer) however we're also not dumb to enough not to realize where this discussion may go ... i.e., the said grey area.

As such, it's time for this thread to go nighty night.
