@temp: If you change the CDpath to point to your Demon Tools Drive (or better still install the game when mounted in Daemon Tools) then mount an image of the game there is no need to do the 'copy' part as the game will do the protection check and find the elf.42 file on the mounted CD.

The above method lets you run a cracked game without any CD, but as I said I use my NoCD hack with the crackfix without any problems.

Thanks Sam, It's nice to know my NoCD works for other people too

@temp: Got you, some games don't need reg entries. I did the same with Quake 4 and GTA: San Andreas when I reinstalled windows on my C: drive, both games work fine from my D: drive without reinstalling, just created shortcuts to the EXE files.

There is a proper crack released by VOLKSWAGEN.
I will send the crack to GameCopyWorld ASAP.

EDIT:
No need to send the file to GameCopyWorld, because it's already available.

He He! Volkswagen say their crack is 10mb smaller because there is no trace of Securom in the EXE, what they really mean is they used PECompact to compress the EXE This is done usually to 'hide' something, so I dumped the EXE and found they had patched the same bytes as in my NoCD patch

And Skulls NoCD is identical to mine that has the same bytes patched too as my NoCD patch

Coincidence?

As I once said, we will always love you, not them! But, seriously, if there's an obvious place for the no-CD/DVD patch (when the commercial copy protection is stripped off of the executable), why are you surprised that everyone chooses it, independently of others?
