Gavor, since I am currently using a NO-CD crack for IL-2 to prevent it from being worn out I don't need to know how to copy it.
However, I am using NTI CD-Maker 2000, is it possible to copy the OFP CD without it "going bad"? I've read elsewhere that if you dupe the CD, the copy will work- but after time the game will slowly kill itself in which it just continuously degrades.
I believe it copies just fine, but eventually the game will simply go kaput. Now, if you know where a NO-CD crack is for OFP- that would help me much moreso than actually copying it.
Oh, and Gadfly, CD's do wear out from continual use. You know, you have to leave it in the drive to get the game to run- well that laser in there ain't just a perty light. It degrades the quality of the bits over a period of time, especially if it reads the same spot of a CD multiple times.
I had four CDs go kaput because of this crap. EAW, RedBaron2 and RedBaron3D, and MechWarrior 3.
Now, this was entirely the fault of the company by requiring me to leave my CD in the drive for hours on end and have it repeatedly read the same fuggin spot over and over and over.
So if you want to use your analogy, it's like Ford giving me a car with a shoddy drive train. After many uses, it simply breaks and I go careening off the side of the road. It sure as toejam ain't my fault it went to crap.
So, you can call me a thief, but since I paid my hard earned money for their product and they stiff me with this toejam that results in degradation of the product- then you bet your diddlying bellybutton I will make copies of it.
