No-CD patch
(ver 1.0)
freeware


Cracked By : gimpsRus
Released On: 9 October 2002

This is a patched EXE file that allows the user to start 
their Infrgrames RCT2 game without the need to have the 
game CD in their CD Drive.  This file is intended for
legitimate game owners, as a way to protect their 
vulnerable CD from potential damage (you can now store
it away in a safe place).  

To install this patch, first install the RCT2 game
onto your hard drive.  Next, rename the file "rct2.exe"
(you could simply delete it, but if you rename it you
can easily restore it later if problems occur with this
crack).  Finally, place this cracked "rct2.exe" file in
the folder that contained the original "rct2.exe" file.


NOTE: It is legal to own and use this modified "rct2.exe" 
file in order to play the RCT2 game within the terms of 
the End User License Agreement (EULA).  Be aware that this 
cracked "rct2.exe" file may potentially -not- work with
all versions of the game, or with certain add-ons.  


Testing Notes: This patch will recognize the U.S. Infograms 
version of RCT2 (and probably the U.S. Infrograms version of 
Wacky Worlds, but this has not been tested).  It will also 
-partially- recognize the U.S. Atari RCT2 Tripple Thrill Pack, 
but it does NOT recognize Time Twister components (the Atari 
intaller does NOT give you the option to only specify RCT2 or 
RCT2 plus Wacky Worlds... it always loads all three components, 
RCT2 plus Wacky Worlds plus Time Twisters).  However, the only 
apparent effect of not recognizing Time Twisters, is that you 
can not play the included Time Twister scenarios.  Everything 
else appears to work just fine.  

Further Note: Although a fresh installation of Atari RCT2 will 
by default try to install in the "Program Files\Atari\Roller 
Coaster Tycoon 2 Tripple Thrill Pack" directory, if you have 
already installed the Infrograms version of RCT2, the Tripple 
Thrill Pack will install over the Infrograms version of RCT2 
(which by default installs in "Program Files\Infogrames 
Interactive\RollerCoaster Tycoon 2").  Note also that if you 
install the UCES expansion pack, it will by default try to 
install into the default Infograms version of RCT2 location, 
so you must manually specify the Atari folder if necessary.
