NFS 3

6 posts by 5 people · 03 Jan 2000 - 05 Jan 2000

Hi, I have bought NFS III, and would like to play on my home LAN with my son. But the game refuses to start if there is no CD !! Then I made a copy of the CD, as a personal backup, but the game doesnt start at all. Is there any trick or patch to allow me to play on my LAN ? Codemasters includes such features in ist game, and we both enjoy playing TOCA 2 on the LAN, with one CD only, and no need to copy it. Thanks for any help provided. Hnic

If I'm not mistaken NFS3 has copy protection on it, so you can't make a good copy.

Try this URL http://www.gamecopyworld.com/ I found some work arounds here. One problem on my system is that after applying the "fix", there is no in game music. This makes sense, since the music is on the CD. Everything else works as it should. Alan

You need a CD for *each* system? That sucks. I'd hate to buy another CD for the machins sitting right next to this one... Eldred -- Tiger Stadium R.I.P. 1912-1999 Own Grand Prix Legends?

I thought I was being clever once and tried doing the install from the CD on the remote machine as a shared drive, figuring I could leave the CD in that drive for both machines to check on. I don't remember what game it was, but it didn't work anyway. Oh well. ~daxe -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----
