how to run CD games without the CD?

i dont think no cd cracks are illegal.

anyways, ive always used em over the years. cds get beat the forget up always swapping them around.

just to clear up the legality: it's completely legal to use no cd cracks as long as you own the software and don't distribute it.

Did you buy it from Steam? It should come with a CD key.

Wow, what a hacker...

If the crack skips product activation, then it's definitely illegal. It may even be illegal to use a no-CD crack in general. I'm not sure.

Anyways:

Create an ISO from the disc with IMGBurn and mount it with VirtualCloneDrive

When i click "Download" for VirtualCloneDrive, it is giving me multiple options, but I dont know which one to download
Nevermind, I didnt notice it at the bottom

Tried this and it didnt work. Mentioned a conflict with Emulation or something

What part didn't work, and what was the exact error?

When I run the game from the drive, I select "Play" and error message "Conflict with Emulation Software detected" appears

-Open the Game DVD in your drive (DVD) or go to the directory where your installation is located (EA Download Manager).

-Open the Binari~1.cab (Bin64) or Binari~2.cab (Bin32) with WinRar or a similar pack-program and copy the Crysis.exe file.

-Place it into your installation directory of Crysis\\Bin32 or Crysis\\Bin64 and replace the existing .exe file.

If that doesn't work, try finding a no-cd on Gamecopyworld or something. From what I can gather, cracking a game you bought is legal.
