MGE no limits

[mchorlton]

when i run the NoCD crack after installing the no limits patch. the game asks for the CD still. is this right or am i doing something wrong?

There are ... uhm... issues. The problem is, the no-limits patch changes the executable, which probably causes the no-CD crack to either NOT recognize the executable (and thus not apply the necessary changes), or make changes in the wrong place (which might or might not be harmful, but in any case doesn't do what it's supposed to)...
Your best bets are to have two MGE executables, one with no-CD, one with no-limits; or to try and find another crack, or make one yourself. In any case, applying multiple patches might be tricky and screw up the executable, so be sure to make backups (of the civ2.exe).

I don't have MGE myself, and I only know other people have experienced the same problems... I don't know if there actually is a sollution.

mmmmm...i see.
i think i'll just have to put up with the bother of putting the CD in when i want to play. (sounds simple enough; but my room's a dump. finding a CD even if it was only used last yesterday requires a big expedition to every nook and crany in the room!).

oh well, no matter.
i'll still keep a copy of the original executalble for when i can't be arsed searching for the disc.
