SCGT - is there a crack for this?

please tell me where i can get a crack for SCGT as a friend wants to borrow it but i cant bear to be without it for a week!!!!! ;-) Help!!!

Tell your freind to buy the game and get your little pirate ass out of this newsgroup.

The need for a no-CD crack is a real one, though -- I buy all the games I play, and I have a home network with multiple computers and driving wheels, and it's a pain to have a decent game like SCGT that you can't network without buying multiple copies. I bought it, I want to play it in the privacy of my own home with friends and family, but in order to do so, I have to either burn a CD or buy multiple copies -- and either option in a pain in the backside. If it's on MY computers and I bought a copy of the game, I should be able to run it without the CD. I know this violates the piracy laws, but true piracy is when you hand it out to all your friends so they don't have to buy copies; as long as I don't pass it around to everybody -- and as long as I use it in my own home for private purposes -- it should be mine to do with as I please. This is why I really don't like games that require you to have the CD installed. Plus, I hate it when I want to change games and I have to locate the CD (and/or figure out which computer I was using it on last). Piracy is a problem, but requiring the CD to be in the drive in order to run the game is just a pain for everyone. EA is really bad about requiring the CD, and I'll be damned if I'll buy multiple copies of games that are already overpriced IMO (sell them for $20 each and I probably would buy multiple copies if required, but $49 is too steep). Just my $0.02. Flame me if you will. -- John Bodin Publiser, The IRL Insider Magazine http://irlinsider.adnetweb.com/

You can play SCGT on your LAN without the CD. In multiplayer games you do not need the CD in the drive to play. At least mine doesn't so you should have no problem playing over your lan.

Good point, but that still doesn't solve the problem of having to track down the CD depending on which computer is available for me to play on in single-player mode. -- JB

But it DOES solve the problem you described: having to have a CD in all computer simultaneously. Gunner

But it still DOESN"T solve the CD swapping problem -- if I sit down in the living room to run a few laps and the CD was in the computer in the other room last, I have to go find it in order to play SCGT. Of course, if the computer in the other room is off, then I have to fire it up, eject the CD, and then -- and ONLY then -- can I play SCGT. It's even worse if the wife decided to remove the CD in order to insert her American Greetings Crafts CD and then put the SCGT CD in the American Greetings jewel case. VERY frustrating. All of this means that I've simply been playing SCGT less and less these days -- and I'm sure that I'm not the ONLY one who suffers through these kinds of annoyances when it comes to games that require you to have the CD installed. Just thinking about it cheeses me off, in fact. I think I'll go turn some hot laps to cool down -- but it probably won't be any of the tracks in SCGT, 'cause I'd have to find the CD first . . . -- JB

I wouldn't have much of a problem with saying the HOST had to have the CD. I believe Nascar2 was setup that way, and it worked fine for my three systems... Eldred __ Put your message in a modem, and throw it in the ***-sea... remove SPAM-OFF to reply.

no shit, if you've got too many computers to remember where a friggin cd is, then you can afford to buy another copy.(s) 1 for the bathroom PC so you can drive while you take a dump 1 for the kitchen PC so you can do laps while the microwave popcorn pops etc etc <g> Mike
