I have a question about the No-CD program on CFS2 misc. page 8.

I don't know how it works but it works great.

Find it here.

Could be in the software forum I guess.... No matter!  ;)

The NoCD patch is simply a replacement of the "csf2.exe" file in the main CFS2 game directory.

The original file checks to make sure the original game CD is inserted in the CDROM drive.

This is one way game developers protect the copyright on their software, ensuring you have a legitimate copy of the software.

NoCD checks, or "cracks" are written so the software runs completely from the hard disk and doesn't access the CDROM drive.

In order for the CFS2 NoCD check to work, you need to do a "Full Install" of the game, so that all required files are on the hard disk.

You then replace the cfs2.exe file with the NoCD crack (it is also called cfs2.exe and it will overwrite the original file) and VOILA! the game will run off the hard disk, saving loading and access times. Highly recommended.

Alright, thanks a lot Congo.  Time to reinstall then.
