I though of doing that but you know how large games are and if I have the whole game installed and the whole game on a virtual drive, thats a lot of Hard-Drive space. |
I use modified start exes for all my games so that I don't have to ever use a DVD/CD to start any of my installed games.
There is nothing illegal about doing this either...
You can get those here for just about any game you can imagine...
PC Game Fixes & No-CD Patch Files- For PC Games- GameBurnWorld
Game Fixes are small patches which enable you to patch your game and play your game without the CD in the drive, these Game Fixes are called No-CD patches, the benefit of this is obvious, as you wont need to keep swapping the CD over every time you want to play a different game, it also allows you to place your original CD back in its cover and keep it safe from scratches and damage, and therefore backing up your CD. There are also Game Fixes which remove the movie or video clips from the game. You can also make a backup CD with the Game Fixes, this will allow you to keep a safe copy of your original game CD, and preventing damage to your original CD.
The easiest way to install these are by rightclicking the game's shortcut start exe, then click properties, then find target. What will be highlighted is what you will replace with the modified start exe.
Then all you have to do is just doubleclick your games shortcut start and the game starts right up!
