Playing PC games without CD's in cd bay?

(1/5) > >>

mrracer:
Do you guys know how I can keep from having to load the CD's every time I want to play a PC game? Is there any way to hack the .exe to keep it from wanting the CD in the cd bay. Or maybe load the entire cd to the hard drive and trick it into thinking the CD is in the cd bay? Thanks again.

Ed_McCarron:
Google "Daemon Tools"

Create an .iso on your harddrive and point Daemon Tools at it - creates a virtual CD rom.

I use special patches from www.megagames.com
(They are called "noCD" patches)

lemoe:
yeh, no-cd patches are your best bet. They tend to be relatively small (in comparion to an iso), usually a replacement exe, so easy to apply. Also in some cases they help the game run faster (since the computer doesnt have to read from the cd drive)
