I ran Protection ID. That is how I knew there was no protection. I read in a tutorial somewhere that I needed to use w32disasm in order to find the part of the code that checks for a CD, and then use ollydbg to fix it.

The zip is the whole first disc. It installs the game along with the "riddle of the shpinx.exe" my problem is upon starting the game it asks for disc to before you leave this helicopter right at the beginning. There is this file next to the executable called irunin.ini. in that file there is a srcdir line which has the default setting of my CD drive. When i edit that line to have the application directory, and move the files from the CD to that folder, it prevents the CD drive from spinning up, and the cursor changes to a hand instead of an arrow like it is supposed to, but I cant click or do anything and the game locks up. So I know that the files are where they are supposed to be, I just dont know if its possible to play without the disc. If it would help I can torrent the second CD, but obviously its a huge file lol so I'd rather not have to do that.

The option I'd recommend (I rarely recommend such stuff, so there is a good reason) is to rebuy the game.

Search for a 1CD version. Not only there is a crack for it (I can even supply it), it's repacked, it's updated (works in XP/vista/7 with latest quicktime instead of forcing you to stick with 3.smth)... Same thing happened to Omega Stone (only it's a tad bigger) and I also have a crackfile for it. Search for the Viva Media editions.
