@mega X
Do you actually own the game?

@Delacroix02
You need to read Sylvio's latest post on this subject.
His last post was #89. Read it.

If anyone is interested I made my own NoCD for this, if anyone wants to try it, I upped it to Rapidshare:

Code:
http://rapidshare.de/files/26552348/FF8v12-NoCD.zip.html
I found some save games saved on discs 1 to 4 and flicked through a few and the saves loaded when all the DISCx.PAK data files from the 4 discs were copied to my HDD, plus the last battle loaded OK too!

I'm using the English version, not sure if it will work on other versions!

Thumbs up NoCD Solution

I uploaded nocd patch to http://fileforums.com/$rd_gf.php?p=ff8.htm.
I was uploaded patch to GameCopyWorld but this patch ended there (http://fileforums.com/$rd_gf.php?p=ff8.htm)

Download nocd from http://fileforums.com/$rd_gf.php?p=ff8.htm named "Final Fantasy 8 v1.2/GeForce [15 KB] NoCD Patch" or "Final Fantasy 8 v1.2 [15 KB] NoCD Patch". Or maybe better solution is to make image files of CD1,CD2,CD3,CD4 and in your virtual menager put them on the hotkeys.
For example put CD1 image file on F5 hotkey, CD2 on F6, CD3 on F7, CD4 on F8. I tested this on Alcohol 120%.

Have a great time in this great game!

ok, to all people... This is how to play the game using the CRACK/NO CD/Fixed EXE...

Make an installation of the game...
Patch the game
Copy the crack file

IF YOU WANT TO JUST PLAY THE GAME IN THE HARD DRIVE, U NEED TO COPY CD2/CD3/CD4/CD5 TO THE GAME DIRECTORY....

YOU CANNOT COPY CD3 WHILE CD2 IS IN THE GAME DIRECTORY... AS IT HAS THE SAME GAME NAME FILE.

I Suggest making an image and just mount it.

This thread is a very very old one geez... people still play this game... i havent even finished this one... as I moved on to FFX in PS2

Final Fantasy 8 - NO CD Patches?

Hiya all,

I had to get a back up of FF8 when my disc 2 got a nasty scratch... But had loads of trouble finding a no CD patch for it.

There is an easier way that I will be willing to e-mail to whoever needs it... Just send me a PM and your e-mail addy and I wil send you teh instructions.

The good news here is there is no programs involved either, so no chance of any virus threats that I have found from many of the Patches available online... Only GCW ever have clean Patches!

Take care!

BTW... As I am sure the Admin has already said, Don't just DL the game... Get a proper copy! (Though I know through experience that this is ULTIMATLY HARD now!). Too many people just use rips...

PLEASE! Don't support Piracy! Always get the original games if you really ENJOY THEM! BUY THEM!

If the instructions are not illegal then just post them here! Dont make people grovel to get them by having to PM you with their email address!

And if you need to add something to a post then use the 'edit' button, dont create another post.

A rip version of final fantasy 8?! .... who comes up with that idea? you?

[quote=[URL="http://fileforums.com/member.php?u=104263"]arxaios[/url]] about sylvio's fix its still the same as what has been posted a few years back by other members, it only allow running thru daemon or cd backup its not a real NOCD, but it does work. I still have that file. ff8cdfix.zip . sent by sylvio himself.

I suggest using a backup, it still work, just patch to 1.2 and load a nocdfix then run the game.

I bought this game around y1999-2000 for only 999 or thats around $20... at that time it was worth it, now... its a collection thinggy. I bet i can sell this for $100 lolx!
