Saving games to hard drive? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Brewmaniac · 02-19-2004, 01:43 PM

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?

Brewmaniac · 02-19-2004, 02:07 PM

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.

KUGR · 02-19-2004, 07:59 PM

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

_the_wombat · 02-19-2004, 08:21 PM

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.

spillblood · 02-19-2004, 09:09 PM

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

phukraut · 02-19-2004, 10:06 PM

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

nocd crack is the way to go
