Great Little Program

[morriswindgate]

I know that I am probably behind the times here, but I was playing with a little program that came with a board for a computer I am building, called Virtual drive. This program lets you copy a game or other cd on to a virtual CD-ROm Drive so that you do not need the CD to run it. It has three extraction modes which should cover any of the copy protects, and it extractsway faster than clonecd. After you copy it to the virtual drive you install the game and then whenyou want to run the game it sees the virtual copy as the actual cd. I checked it out on about five game that I know to have copy protection and all worked great, plus it speed the loadup because it is on the hard drive.

Thanks for the link, sounds like a cool idea. Thats what I love about this place, heads-up on all these great little programs, I've been enjoying that "CoolMon" quite a bit as well.

Hey, just wanted to agree on the last note. I just joined this forum and cannot break myself from the computer. Thanks for all the new info!

Welcom aboard snake!

I just use those NoCD patches available on GameCopyWorld. These patches just change the game's .exe file so that it does not 'look' for the CD.
