Jamesroe Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 Is there any way to get a back up patch for cm 1.12 so, I can play with out the cd. I like to secure my games from any possible destruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soddball Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 LOL - So what you're asking is, can you avoid playing the game without using the copy protection system implemented? Hmm. Now let me see... ------------------ "Woof!Woof!" That's my other dog impression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesroe Posted March 21, 2001 Author Share Posted March 21, 2001 Yes,you see I have a 3 year old and a 5 month old and spend a lot of money on gaming. I know what you are thinking and if I was going to give or sell the game I would ask how to avoid the copy protection. No I just want to access the game with out the cd, so I can put it away in a safe place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Leader Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 Well in that case... You can find a utility (discussed thouroughly in a previous thread) about a "Virtual CD-ROM emulator" It copies an image of your disck to your HD and then creates a drive letter for it. Go to your favorite computer download site (such as zdnet) and search for the above quoted. Sadly, most of the programs are shareware, but their are ways around that too -- I'm not going to tell you everything, I'd have to be on CRACK!!!

Quenaelin Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 Just click search and type "backup CD" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soddball Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 Sorry if I sounded suspicious - it's nothing personal. I can see your point now Can I suggest you trade in the children for a faster PC? This would solve the problem and you would have extra CM time ------------------ "Woof!Woof!" That's my other dog impression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesroe Posted March 21, 2001 Author Share Posted March 21, 2001 I tried the virtural cd, but i get a message about characteristics being to long 64? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosehead Posted March 22, 2001 Share Posted March 22, 2001 Are you using Virtual Drive? Their website is www.farstone.com I use this pgm and think it is great. So much so, I even bought it! No more scratched cds. No more inserting cds, etc Best utility software I ever purchased. Well worth the money spent. I edit the existing shortcuts to eject the virtual cd image, then insert the new one and then run the pgm. My cdrom hardly gets used. The only drawback is the space requird to hold all your cds on disk. But disk is so cheap now anyway. One other big advantage, is games run "faster" as they dont have to wait on that slow cd rom access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
