BV and no CD?
BastDawn:
No-CD cracks are inferior because they don't work with patches. I'm trying one with my OFB-only computer, but it was made pre-patch and thus works as an unpatched game. I'm getting ready to go back to the disk -- I'm not installing Daemon on that system.
jsalemi:
Yea, but they're usually updated not long after the patch comes out, as I recall.

Slightly off topic re BV but I hope someone might help and not shoot me
Being new to this no CD game and I refuse to install BV at present - Can anyone recommend a no CD exe for Seasons that works with the patches.
Currently my Seasons game has the latest patch applied. The no Cd exe files I downloaded form GameCopy world and GameBurn world are version 1.7.0.145 and my official Seasons .exe is 1.7.0.158. Does this mean it's a later version and if I run one of the cracks my game is no longer patched?

I found a solution for getting securom off without having to reformat and I can vouch that it does work. I got it off myself. Plus I am using the no-cd exe from gameburnworld and I can still play with BV and H&M installed. I figure that I have paid for the legal copies of the packs, and I should have a right to play them. :-X
Go here to get a program that deletes securom off your drive.

This was so easy, I almost couldn't believe it. ;)
Oh and for those who have Vista, I have Vista and it works great. ;D

Ok I am a little confused by the varying methods here. I first read the FAQs where JM explained how to play a "legally backed up copy". I've never done this before. I am currently "backing up a copy" of BV from firelight(?I think this was the name). I have installed NOTHING yet. I have XP home and a few programs that SecuROM would be against, I'm sure.
Because of JM's instructions I dled Daemon Tools and SecuROM Loader. Again, I haven't installed anything. Then I read moron's instructions in this thread and just in case that was the method I needed, I dled the mini-image and YASU.
So what I want to do is re-install all the EP's up to Seasons and the SPs Glamour and Family. That's the stuff I bought and paid for. And the patches. This part is mostly a no-brainer. I would like to ask though, are the patches necessary if you have the next expansion cd, or do you still have to install each one?
I also bought a copy of Celebration (afraid to install this now) and now the "backing up" of BV from firelight(?). That's where I need the help. Is there anyone who would be willing to tell me which method I should use and/or walk me thru it since I've never done this and don't know a thing about these programs?
Also, should I install the Celebration SP or download another "backed up" copy of this from somewhere, and how will it affect/when should it be done regarding the BV installation?
This is a pain in the ass, I know, but I've given them so much money for the headache it's given me and I don't want to shell out for BV yet. I'll pm my AIM name or email if anyone is interested in helping me out. It just seems like everyone is doing it slightly differently. Thanks.
