Copy of original UT CD

[Matt Houben]

Hello,

I have the following question:

Is it possible to make a copy of the original UT CD. I want to use this copy instead of the original when the game asks for the insertion of the CD. I want to prevent accidents from happening that would damage the original CD, which would leave the game unplayable.

I already tried copying all files from the CD onto the HDD, and then burn it to a CD-RW.
EasyCD creator refused (saying that some file extension were not ok), but Nero did the job. However, UT refused the copy and asked for the original. I also set the volume-label of the copy the same (UT_CD1_400D).

Another option ofcourse would be a patch so that you can start UT without having to insert the original.

Regards,

Matt Houben

Matt,

look at gamecopyworld.com. There are nocd-files for UT and the different patches available, so you don't need to insert the cd to be able to play it. It is basically a modified unrealtournament.exe.

Downloaded the no-cd patch for v4.28. First applied the v4.28 patch and then the no-cd patch. I can now put the CD away in a safe place.
