So let me get this strait, I have Need for Speed: Most Wanted CD1 mounted with Alcohol 120% or Daemon Tools 4.0 and then I use a program such as SD4hide to hide the mounted image and I should be able to run the game fine just by clicking on the desktop icon for NFS. Tnx

Yep, thats it.

I made an mds file of my first CD with alcohol 120%. When I mount it with Daemon tools and use safedisk 4 hider I cannot run the game.

I can get through the cd protection (don't get enter cd rom blah blah...) then my screen gets black for a short time and then I get prompted back into Windows.... It's like the game crashes or something.

I Also tryed the mds file posted on GCW but I get the same problem.


Does anyone have this too? Is there a way around this?

Anyway this game rocks like hell. I really would love to have a working backup... i'll wait on a working cd crack :)

thx.
.Z.

Seemingly there is a fix floating about to help with people having problems with the protection.


EDIT: Seemingly part 2 its a no-cd, I dont have the game to test the exe so ive upped it to GCW expect to see it soon.

Different Problem
 

I have actually noticed a slight different problem. I did what I said just mounting the CD1 image and then hiding it, and i click the icon for NFWMS but the Need for Speed game picture will come up for a second and then dissapear and the game wont start. Has anyone seen anything like this? Tnx

Ya i also get the same error but when i use antiblah.

I am looking real NOCD file. How long time i can wait ?

No-one knows! It could take days, weeks, months, years or possibly never! Time will tell and patience is what you need. ;)

Hi all, for lan play i need some special patch no-cd?

Thanks

Remember that you need an official license for each pc in your lan.. ;)

i need to buy two games?

Yes, you need 2 games. ;)

The new NODVD patch(s) here work for me no probs but even though file is really a tiny filled with lots of ZERO's it still appears 1.6+ gig to windows so im better of leaving my cd1 image i made in daemon as its smaller lol.

but you can compress that file to 1.23 mb(size on disk)...right click on the NFSMW-MINI.mdf and click Advanced >>>tick compress contents.....>>>OK>>>Apply>>>OK
restart windows and remount NFSMW image;)
