What is a fixed exe?

[dswmo456]

Is a fixed .exe the same as a no cd .exe? What does it do?

[TippeX]

fixed exe: exe with copy protection stripped, exe might still have internal cdchecks (which should be passed if a simple iso is made) like gta having a cdcheck etc.. which require you to have the (backup) cd in the drive, or the original .. whatever floats your boat

no-cd exe: as above with the cdcheck removed so you can play without a cd in the drive (tho for most of these to work a cdrom drive must be in the pc (either virtual or physical)

Maybe it should be a good idea to add this info to the sticky topics..but, as usual, no one with read them anyway:rolleyes:

But thats the thing, all of this kind of info is all on the main site. Its just that some folks are too lazy to go look.
