dude that tutorial says it will backup the whole game i just want the exe file
Read the tutorial properly it doesnt say it will backup the whole game! It tells you how to create the mini image! For your convenience I have highlited in red the parts you obviously didnt read!

Quote:
Ok, basically SafeDisc checks the start of a disc for "bad sectors". If they are there then the game is thought to be authentic and the game will start. When you read a full image you are reading the "bad sectors" at the start as well as all the other data. The problem is that all the install data etc that takes up over 99% of the space, this data is not needed to start the game, only to install it. It isn’t convenient for most people to have loads of 700mb images on there hard drive just so they can play a game without the disc in the drive.

What a mini-image does is keep only the data at the start that is used too authenticate the original disc. This is made up of the "bad sectors and the "table or contents", the "table of contents" is just a list of all the files on the disc and how big they are, (this is why they still show up as the correct size on a mini-image even when they are empty) The mini image discards all the other data :
A mini-image is normally 1-5mb, which is a much more practical size.

I dont have a cracked 'exe'! I use a mini image! I dont actually agree that mini images should be shared on the internet! For those with their original discs, and a DVD burner, a mini image is an easy thing to create without needing any cracking skills whatsoever. Whereas sharing NoCD.exe in my opinion is acceptable as not everyone has the knowledge to create their own NoCD.exe. If a NoCD crack was easy to create then their would be no reason to share them over the net! Its a fine line! Alcohol has a trial version available so their is no excuse when it comes to creating a mini image! And these days a decent DVD burner is the same price (if not cheaper) than 1 game. So instead of buying that next game, bite the bullet and buy a DVD burner! Then you too will be able to easily create a mini image. I, in no way, will support warez! Saying you dont have a DVD burner, in my honest opinion is a lame excuse for a serious gamer to use!
Also like 'dede' also mentioned, their is no reason whatsoever to install the v1.10 update to finish the game.

@ grumpy :
Is it possible that you send me your mini-image? I'm beggin you so much
As I don't own Alcohol 120 (had a trial about 2 month ago so i can't use it anymore) I'm not capable of doing a mini-image without Alc120...
I'm requesting your help my friend !!!! If you do it I'll send you my E-Mail via PM...
THX in advance... muJi

Uploaded the v1.10 crack/nocd from BREEZE (Who are not a new group, btw) using the upload facility on GCW, hope it works as I'm not sure myself how it works!

Seems the original HOODLUM v1.0 crack is still working on the just released v1.11 patch too. Tested on my UK copy and got through 2 chapters without any problems, let's hope there's no 'hidden' checks!
