POD (2 requests)

Argh, it got multiple cd checks. After making the nops, right click in Olly. Then Search for -> All intermodular calls. Then type on keyboard getdrivetypa . Then rightclick on one of the lines with kernel32.dll.getdrivetypa and select "Set breakpoint on every call to GetDriveTypeA".
Then press F9 , may wait till intro played and tell me the adress where it stopped. The adress is at the very left and should start with 004...

Sorry, i cant debug it myself because game crashes on my system before reaching a disc check even with original exes and disc. I played POD a lot in the past (when i had Win 98).

Here is a screenshot of where it stopped (after the intro movie), but I had to press F9 several times before the intro movie started.

The address is 004A1F90

ah...and another thing: I had to press F9 a lot of times after that to make the window "insert pod cdrom" appear. The address was always the same (004A1F90), only the registers (fpu) values on the right in olly changed.

The amount of times you had to press F9 is the amount of driver letters you have.

Try nop that:
004A2089 . /75 09 JNZ SHORT winpod.004A2094

If that does not work, nop this one:
004A20E9 .^\75 E8 JNZ SHORT winpod.004A20D3

Kewl! It worked with the first one. If it is not too much I'd like to modify other exes (at least the direct3d, the podmmx and the 3dfx ones) because I have different pcs and some exe work better with some system and worse with other. If you can help me or give me some infos about what to modify in the executables, that would be much appreciated
