I was under the impression GPL was a no cd program. My copy was obtained from EB when first released. Good luck, KGH

"Bertrand Clech" asked for > the no cd version of gpl for the french release. 1.) I hope you own a legal version of GPL, cause I don't want to support warez-s**t ... 2.) *snip* To get rid of the CD check in the UK version of GPL 1.2.0.1 do the following: - Make a backup of your GPL.exe file, just in case.... - Open GPL.exe in the Hex editor of your choice. - Goto offset 0x22F96 - You'll find a 74 there, replace it with EB - save the file, run the game, have fun.... *snip* 3.) Works great with german version too, seems to me there's no reason why it should not work with the french one. hth donL

I want the same thing that the previous guy but i am not familiar with hex editor. I try the "find" option but in what stuff does i need to select for my request : "hex" or "ascii"". And are you sure of the exact number "0x22F96" ?? Thanks Martin 'donL' Kronhofmann <[email hidden]> a �crit dans le message : 8n9c3r$1kds$[email hidden]...
