Saving games to hard drive?
 

Is it possible to save a game to my HD so don't have to put the disk in. It's just a word game, no huge graphic's or anything.
Thanks in advance.

Does the game run from the CD or does it require the CD rom to play after its installed?

It won't play unless the disc is in my machine, is there any way around this?

The only way I know is to use a no-cd patch. Forgive me if that isn't that proper name I have never used them. You could probably download them off a lot of different places

get a virtual drive program

The best way would be to get a virtual drive program. It takes an image of the cd your game is on and makes the computer think that the image file on your hard drive is really a cd-rom drive.

Failing that, goto www.astalavista.box.sk and look for a no-cd patch. As long as you have the original cd everything's good, otherwise you'll be breaking copyright laws :-/

another site to check for a no-cd patch... www.gamecopyworld.com

Make an image of the CD (there is plenty of software out there to do this), then use a drive emulator (I use Daemon Tools), and mount it up. The computer thinks that it is a cd.

Or yeah, try to find a no-cd patch.

Here's a vote for the NoCD patches.

I don't like having entire drive letters just for games.

http://megagames.com/ also has some no-cd cracks, but gamecopyworld is by far the best :)

NoCD cracks work pretty well.

If you wan't to take the image route use CloneCD/Alcohol %120 to rip and Deamon tools to mount.

for most games you can find no-cd software so that you dont have to put the cd in every time you play

Alcohol 120% is another option for a virtual drive program.

nocd crack is the way to go
