G'day ... theartfuldodger
Presuming you have downloaded the crack / fix from GCW, they have 3 NO CD fixes available. I could not get the #3 No-CD fix to work on the game so I downloaded fix #2 (Joe Forster/STA one).
This one does work !!
Please note that simply placing the crack / fix in the main Master Rallye game folder & then clicking your shortcut on the desktop is not enough, as the game will still ask for the CD.
You have to execute (double click) the crack file to patch the
" MRallye.exe" file in the game folder. After this if you then try to run the game from the shortcut it created on your desktop, & it still asks for the CD..... then delete that shortcut & start the game from the Mrallye exe in your game folder NOT.. the shortcut on your desktop.
Hope this works for you ..........
Your comment of not being able to make a backup copy is wierd as the Game only has a CD Check protection which almost all Writers & Programs will copy 1:1. Hence... you havent had a quick reply as most people here would have made a 1:1 copy & not needed a crack / fix.
Are you trying to copy a backup copy given to you ?? which may have been a dud copy in the first place.....
