Is there a "no cd" patch which will work in multiplayer? The one I have is only good for offline racing.
Running NR2003 online without the CD
Zoltan asked for a no-CD method that works online in NR2003. Posters explained that no-CD executables only work offline, but that creating a disc image with Alcohol 120% or BlindWrite and mounting it with Daemon Tools worked online, which eventually succeeded for others.

Yup now there is....Daemon Tools v3.32 will work with N2k3. Keep in
mind Papy will probably issue a patch for 2k3 and that usually contains an
updated version of their copy protection. So I don't know how long DT
v3.32 will be effective.

Have your original nr2003.exe in the same dir.
launch game with no cd version, when you log on to serria it will check
your proper .exe and not the no cd version.
You will still need a valid CD key, don't think this is a magic way for
burnt copies to get online, for that use onlineracin.com ,lol
enjoy

CD sits comfortably on the shelf, untouched and pristine and all I have to
do to run the game is hit the shortcut and I'm off and racing, online or
offline.

Tried this method and it has not worked for me. I did update the game via Sierra's update after installing the game.
Valid CD key is not a problem. But when I try to login to Sierra, it tells me that my game is out of date or has been modified.
If I go to Sierra to check for another update it has "nothing new to report".
I have a nr2003nocd.exe and the original nr2003.exe in the root directory. I launch from the nocd.exe and still get invalid game
version when I try to login @ Sierra.
Any ideas?

Go get blindwrite
and make an image on your harddrive CloneCD didn't work for me but they
might have updated it since then. Then go get Daemon tools and install the
Virtual CD software, make a virtual CD out of the image and just play the
game, online, offline, upside down, whatever..... It works, trust me.

Turn off all the emulation so that the daemon tools icon is red. No
safedisc no laserlock no securerom. I used velocity 120% to make the image
and it works everytime with v3.32.

Did you make a .mds image with Alcohol or did you use a standard .iso?

I made an image, .mds kind, then I installed the updated Daemon Tools.
I used that to mount the mds image then I was able to install the whole
thing from the image. no cd required.

.......YES!!!! This works might fine indeed! Now I can leave my CD
in it's case and quit worring about my children using it as a coaster
while they play their games. Finally something that works without
wasting 10 perfectly good CDR's.
PROPs to all involved!!!
