Well actually, its not that hard at all to create No-CD patches from already "cracked" executables, there are many tools out the which will allow you to make a patch from an already cracked executable (one with the protection removed and/or cd checks), the sole purpose of these "patchers" is to make the game cracks into seperate, stand-alone patches much smaller in size (than the cracked exectable), in the area of of small kb size patches. They work by scanning the executables and find where the jumps etc. have been changed or moved, then creates a new seperate stand alone patch and writes these "byte batterns" into the patch. When the patch is run on an orignal exe file it changes these jumps.

I know FBSA does this, all you need is one of the cracks, and bobs your uncle, you can make a stand alone no-cd patch. Just get one of Deviances, Fairlights, GimpsRUS, Drunk etc. crack releases and use them as you base, then run the patching program, repack the no-cd patch with an .nfo file and submit it to all the sites.
