C&C: The first Decade crack search

[m4gicfour]

Hey, I'm kind of a noob to this sort of thing and I was wondering... Does anyone have/know of/can make a mini-image for C&C TFD? I've tried making one myself but I don't think alcohol likes my DVD drive :S

I'd just use the DVD - even though it is a major PiA, but since I run FEAR quite often (aot, but FEAR is important since IDE devices need to be hidden b/c SR7) with daemon-tools, to be able to use the DVD I'd have to continually re-enable my PATA controller from device manager to use the drive anytime I want to play Tiberian sun / Yuri's / Generals / Generals ZH, along with disk swapping, and then disable it again after. MUCH bigger PiA.

Some may say, why not use a no-cd patch.... In my experience they tend to cause havok, especially in online games, and since these are reworked versions IDK if they would work at all. As a side note, isn't it odd how EA has CD-Checks on some of the games, but not the others... I.E. DVD-check on Yuri, but not RA2... Tiberium, not Renegade. Generals is common sense since EA actually wrote that one.

If I may have a request, if someone manages to collect proper cracks for all games in this collection, could you, please, put them into one big archive and submit it to GCW? I think it would be very helpful to be able to find all of them in one place. Thanks!

If I somehow manage to gather cracks for all games that needs it I will of course make a pack and upload!

Edit:
If anyone has original versions of the games mentioned in my first post in this thread (aka NOT The First Decade pack) that you happen to know that generic patchers works with or you have old cracks left on a CD somewhere or similar Please contact me ASAP. PM is a good way.

Most of them should be available @ GameFix

Yes gamefix is down and has been for a while now. otherwise it would've been solved long ago.

Also megagames has almost no cracks for the games.

However I managed to find my way through crackmanworld and get a working Yuris Revenge crack. Only problem there is that whenever the game is launched through the first decade menu it will complain about wrong disc inserted. Thats because the file the menu launches has CD-checks. However if one launches yuri's revenge directly through the cracked Yuri.exe it works...
Or works... maybe I should say starts without asking for disc or anything. I am still having the problem that the game hangs in the loading screen (before the game menu starts). Happens also when uncracked and running the original disc. Think I will test a reinstall later on when I have gathered the cracks.

(There are enough cracks for "Command & Conquer" games available @ MegaGames!)


By the way GameFix is online again, since today (15 February 2006)!
