I know there is a program that allows you to play a CD based game without having to keep puting in the CD, I just can't remember where I saw it.

Actually, if you have plenty of hard drive space you can make an image of the cd, and use daemon tools to make a virtual drive, so its like you have the cd in the cd-rom. I do this with a few games, makes it easier instead of switching, and I also find that it makes games run smoother sometimes.

I haven't tried the above but you can easily do the same thing using a program called alcohol 120% found here Alcohol Soft they have a setting to creat virtual drives. It works with everything cd, not just games, but movies, music pretty much everything on cd or dvd. BUT like above you need to have the harddrive space for it to work becuase what your doing is mounting a cd or dvd image that will be on your hard drive.

If it is a specific game that your looking to get to work, you may just do a google search for "gamename no-cd patch" I'd give you a link to a specific site, but the site has cracks too and i'm not sure if a link to that site would be allowed here.
Good luck
Check your PM for a good site.

Alcohol to make the image of the CD, then Daemon Tools to mount the image to a virtual drive, making it seem like the CD is in the drive 24/7 without it actually being there!
If you owe the original CDs then a no-cd patch is ok... but do not post sites...
*looks around for mods*

Yup.. No links please, I often use images to use things off CD/Virtual drives, it's just a lot easier, esspecially If its something that you use a lot then you can just leave the image mounted.

The main advantage Daemon Tools has over "Alcohol" is that it is free!
Agreed that Alcohol seems to have more comprehensive options.
