C&C: The first Decade crack search

[BarryB]

I managed to help a mate get his Full Install of C&C FD working with ALL the games running from the Launcher Menu without needing the DVD inserted!

Cracks used:

Tiberian Sun 2.03 EXE and crack patch from the other 'world' site!
Yuris Revenge: v1.0 NoCD/Fixed EXE from the other 'world' site again, just rename Yuri.exe to RA2MD.EXE
Generals: Deviance v1.0 from GameCopyWorld
Zero Hour: v1.04 from GameCopyWorld

I just replaced the existing files in the respective directory with the new cracks and everything worked with a FULL install and no DVD in the drive!

I've never played Zero Hour, so not sure if they've made it a standalone game as the v1.04 crack has both an EXE and GAME.DAT file and there was no GAME.DAT file in the Zero Hour directory! Copying the files from the crack, however, into the the Zero Hour directory worked!

But, not sure if there will be problems further into games like Generals/Zero Hour due to CD Checks, but if the Laucher menu in-line patches each game to bypass the CD Checks then they 'should' work!

Someone who's a C&C GURU needs to play these games with the cracks to see if the work correctly
