With a full install, you should never need the cd.

Eh?! N2 and ICR2 both allow you to install the complete game to the HD
without having to use the CD. Atleast the versions I have do. Do a
reinstall and choose the large install.

I haven't tried this yet since it hasn't affected me yet (I only race
multiplayer on TEN) but I kept it for reference in the future. I also
don't remember who wrote this. Let us know if it works!

Nascar Racing 2 - NO_CD multiplayer HEX edits crack
* works on basic game versions 1.00, 1.01, 1.02, 1.03
* works on Grand National Series expansion pack, updated 1.03
Getting Nascar2 to run 100% from the HD in single-player mode is easy.
Just delete the installs .BAT file to run the game and you remove the
call to the CD for the intro. Duh...
Then you want to play local IPX network or multiplayer online at KALI
or KAHN servers. A stupid CD call comes that halts the game and tells
you to insert the Nascar2 CD for multiplay mode. Hmmm... this sucks!
You have to disable this thing with HEX editing the EXE. Not too hard,
except there's (3) different locations that must be modified. Both for
NASCAR2.EXE (VGA & SVGA) and NASREND.EXE (Rendition accelerated).
NOTE: If you upgrade your Nascar Racing 2 with the Grand National Series
expansion pack, the update renames your NASCAR2.EXE to NASCAR2.SAV. This
is also the same for NASREND.EXE to NASREND.SAV. I don't know why these
files are saved cause they WON'T run the game after the update (?). The
expansion pack installs new versions (larger but still 1.03) to handle
the Busch cars/tracks and Fantasy tracks. If you had disabled the CD
check, like me, you'll have to do it again. Good news is that all the
below search strings remain the same. Just re-HEX edit your new EXEs.
Here's each files search strings, then what they need to be changed to:
** NASCAR2.EXE **

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notice that the offset search strings are the same for both files. I know
I could have simply stated both were the same, but decided each EXE would
be done seperately for the end-users convenience.
The default install called for the CD first, then started nascar2.exe
To delete the CD requirement I simply launch nascar2.exe by itself.
Online multiplayer no_cd, now that's a different story...
this works for me instead of starting game with n2.exe use nascar2.exe
> this works for me instead of starting game with n2.exe use nascar2.exe
No no no... not the bit about when you "start" N2. This crack is intended
for MULTIPLAYER N2. You must have the CD in if you want to host a
MULTIPLAYER game. Unless, of course, you crack it.
