Hi there all;

     Was wondering if anyone could assit me with a few things
concerning NASCAR RACING 2003 season

     (1)  Does anyone know where I can get some GOOD decal sets,
including the NUMBERS for when i paint the cars?

     (2)  I have the "noCD patch" but it didn't have a "readme" file
--- how do I install it --- and where in the sim?

     your assist is appreciated

     Doug

    A "no-cd" patch is usually more trouble than it's worth, in my
experience. Unless you are trying to hack the game and using an illegal
install, or some such, stay away from them in my opinion. The mods and
patches  will not work.
    If you are trying to use an illegal install, well you get what you pay
for.

Thanks for the info ...............

I have the disk and the complete sim from Papy.  I didn't realize the
mods don't work with them ----------

Will keep putting the disk in the cd each time -------- and protect
that cd with my life!  ----------  and pass on the no cd patch

Much obliged for the heads-up

I beg to differ.  I use the no-cd patch all the time WITH all the mods
installed.

I also never have to put a CD in again, AND I can play online to boot!  :-P

Look for the utility called Blindwrite.  use it to create a ISO (Image) on
your HD, with it.  (CD like this you need 650 megs to waste on the
HardDrive, cause you got to keep it and run your apps you know)  FYI, I
tried to burn a copy, seems to me it DIDNT WORK?  but who knows, I have a
better CD writer now, but I have 200gigs+, and other removable drives too.

Then go find Daemon tools, carefully by googling.  setup Deamon Tools to use
(mount) that image as a "VIrtual CD in your Daemon tools created Virutual cd
drive".  However I hear some games will not install if you have this util
(and others like CloneCD), Yet I cannot remember who all's tittles had
trouble because it simply checked to see if it existed on your PC.  So
caveat Emptor?

Yeah, ok to the possible flame bait Piracy Nazi's, I say too dayum bad,
legit uses of paint and other products that are sold everyday, sure some
will 'huff it', it is thier choice.

Guns dont kill people, people *use* guns to kill people.  I know a guy who
owns 0 guns, ran over a guy & killed him.  go figure?

Gil enlightened us with:

Pardon, but that IS with Sierra....:-P

And yes, it is still running.

I've had no problems making copies of games with Nero.

The situation is getting worse now that some game disks will not work
in a rewritable drive, as the software sees it as a copying device. Now
I have to swap disks constantly to play certain titles.
