im guessing here, but VB probably isnt the code used....although it might be. HEX skills will pay off 10x more, though ....the no-cd is code that redirects anything that looks at the cd to find it from the hard drive, and *guesses* sets a few jumps so that a cd-check is skipped. im not good with the assembly stuff, though, so i'm gonna shut up

well....you have the cracks...you have the originals......take a hex editor, save whatever is being cracked into a file, crack it, save that as a hex file, and run diff on them. that will find exactly what is changed, where it is changed, and may be the 2nd step to understanding.

the first step, of course, is the hex......
