#GAME NO CD CRACKS HOW TO#
However, as the executables themselves are still copyrighted material, I will not share the cracked EXE files, but merely the instructions on how to patch an original, uncracked, executable (which you would have, if you actually own the game), and remove the CD check. If you’ve read so far, you understand my view that these cracks themselves do nothing towards enabling or preventing piracy, so there is no harm in sharing them. In most cases the instructions for these cracks were obtained by comparing a cracked versus an uncracked executable, and in some cases applying them to other versions of the game. For that purpose I will share a few no-CD cracks I’ve discovered for a couple of DOS/Windows games. However, for old games that still use this method, the need to have the CD in the drive is still an inconvenience, even for legitimate owners. Indeed, most games no longer use CD/DVD checks as means of copy-protection, and in fact are often not even distributed on any physical media.

Nowadays, of course, the method has lost its effectiveness, as everyone has access to CD/DVD burning hardware and software that can make identical copies, or software that can make an image of the disk on the hard drive and mount it, as if it is the actual CD. This goes back to the times when games were distributed on CDs (or DVDs), CD/DVD burners were not yet commonplace, and so forcing a check that the original CD is in the drive was a simple and somewhat effective means of preventing unauthorized duplication and distribution of the game. If you look at xrefs for this string, you'll find the other half of this battle, which is copying the CD files to some temp location.No-CD cracks are often frowned upon and considered an element of software piracy. text:00403CB5 -Ī quick trick is to check out the strings, look for interesting ones like this. text:00403CA3 push offset Text "Please insert A Bug's Life CD." text:00403C9E push offset Caption "A Bug's Life" text:00403C8C push offset aCdTxt "cd.txt" Here is part of the graph of the part OP was modifying: Getting a actual copy of the CD is pretty difficult which resulted in having to come up with an alternative method to play the game. Note: This is game was made for Windows 95 and is not supported on current operating systems and this is the only way I found to play the game. The tutorial I was following had mentioned using xrefs but that option does not appear. I tried changing the Hex value of line 00403C9B | 75 1B | jne bugs.403CB8to EB using HxD but that did not work. This is for the speed running community on that game to make it easier to setup due to currently needing to mount the ISO before running the game.Ġ0403C9E | 68 F0474C00 | push bugs.4C47F0 | 4C47F0:"A Bug's Life"Ġ0403CA3 | 68 C8474C00 | push bugs.4C47C8 | 4C47C8:"Please Insert A Bug's Life CD."Ġ0403CA9 | FF15 00488600 | call dword ptr ds: |
