Store the game (i.e. the contents of the disc) in a virtual drive. Install and run the game from that drive. You may be able to do this with programs like PowerIso or Alcohol120%. Though if the disc is copy-protected, it might not work. BTW, I assume you have got the original disc?

Thanks for the info, I will try that. Yes I own the orig. disk, I just dont like running CD/DVD drive all the time.

Didnt work. BF 2042 disk is 3.7 Gigs does not point to files on drive still looks for CD drive.

Personally, I think every game should come with a no cd file however, most publishers do not agree so, that means we have to be very careful when it comes to this sort of thing.

I really think if you own the game you should be able to no cd it and I don't really make a fuss when people ask for them (unless it is blatenly pirated). That being said, I will put up a link to the no cd exe for 2142 until I go to bed. it is. If you don't get it by then, find it yourself

License agreements entitle the purchaser to use the software 'AS IS' and without modification to the executables. Soooo as far as Gamershell goes, we should not be discussing NoCD as the game industry deems them illegal.

Thread CLOSED!
