Hello,

Could someone give me some tips on how to create a NO-CD patch? What knowledge do I need to have? I am proficient in C language, but I have no idea how to create these famous patches that allow playing games without a CD.

Thank you for your information.

Best regards

Configuration: Windows XP / Firefox 3.6.13

    I've never done it, but my first idea would be this one (in my opinion there is a simpler way):
    Decompile the executable (in assembler or C code)
    Manage to find where the calls to external resources are made and replace the base link that should be the CD drive with a local link to the current disks and directories.

    I think that people more knowledgeable in this area will respond to you with a more optimal solution.
