I've searched on this site for hours and had no luck finding any definitive versions of the No CD crack which worked with Yuri's Revenge. The only files I could find took a lot of unnecessary effort to get working. In the end I just downloaded all of them, seeing if anything would work. I have finally gotten it working, and it was more trouble than most people would be willing to go through. So here it is, to save trouble for anyone else.
1. Install Red Alert 2
2. Download and Install the 1.006 Patch (http://files.filefront.com/ra21006enexe/;845032;/fileinfo.html)
3. Install Yuri's Revenge
4. Download this file (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WWMMW95L)
5. Install the 1.001 Patch included in the zip folder
6. Go to the game directory and BACKUP YOUR YURI.EXE AND YOUR GAMEMD.EXE FILES (for the uninitiated, either rename them or move them to another folder)
7. Replace said files with the version included in the zip folder
8. Insert the Yuri's Revenge CD and copy all 4 .MIX files to the game directory
9. Play the game
This should work.
Notes:
First of all, I apologise for any mistakes I may have made in the process of making this available, including permissions, etiquettes or rules I may have overlooked or anything else that I might have done wrong. Secondly, the site I have uploaded this to may not retain the file for whatever reason, so be sure to back this file up and, if you'd be so kind, upload it to your own website of choice and post the link here.
The YURI.EXE is from the German version of the game. I understand that It works with UK and US copies and (presumably) the German one, but other than that I've no reference for comparison. If you want the same with RA2, you'll have to copy the .MIX files from both the CDs into the directory as well. These are the video files, including the intro cinematic and company logos, which play when you start the game, therefore they are necessary for the game to run, unfortunately.
I haven't run into any compatability issues yet, but don't expect it to work perfectly. I absolve myself of all responsibility if you fuck up your computer - this is your choice and if you delete half your hard drive in the process, then you're not only an idiot (seeing as that's almost impossible with the file I'm giving you), but you're a fully responsible one, as well. Good luck, regardless.
One last thing, if you're into RTSs, check out Original War. I think it's a superb RTS, full of character and depth both in the story and the presentation... plus, it's a lot of fun. It's not perfect, but I enjoyed it once I got into it.
