Hey, i have retail copies of ghost recon and warcraft iii. Are there any ways to play them without the cd on osx(on a tibook)? I know for pc's there are usually no-cd cracks available. Are there anything similar for macs?

As long as you've got the retail copy of the game no-CD cracks are legitimate. I use one for WC3 so I can play when I don't have my CD with me which is just about any time I want to play. The WC3 "crack" is really just making a small disk image containing a folder. Check versiontracker for it, I know it is still there somewhere. I don't know about Ghost Recon but that is what Google is for. Use it and love it.

Hi!
You can find them with a filesharing program like Acquisition.

do no-cd cracks for games on pc's work for the same games on macs?

If you can find a krack, try making a disk image and mounting it when you want to play.

What program are you talking about?

Has anyone got the no cd crack for Ghost Recon: Desert Siege anywhere?

I've always played my games from images. I hardly ever use CDs.

kelesh · Apr 20, 2003, 12:37 AM

what program do you use to make and mount the images? i've never done this before in osx, only in windows 2000.

Disk Copy It's in the Utilities folder.

Well if not using C.D. makes it run faster plz e-mail it too me too.

Disc images don't always work. There are a few games out there that won't be tricked by any kind of disk image, including Disk Copy and Toast disk images.

Does anyone know how to get JK2 working without a CD?

And like Medal of Honor. I've tried to make a disc image of my CD using Toast and Disk Copy. But it don't play dat. Anyone know how to fool MoH?

there's a MOHAA version 1.1.1 nocd 'hack' circlin' on the web. Works fine.

Adam Betts · Sep 3, 2003, 12:41 AM

Lock the disk image or toast file before mounting it.

Problem solved
