  • Running Master of Orion 3 Without CD

    Does anyone know how I can do this? My cd rom is loud as hell, and it's really ticking me off. Is there some files I can copy over so that they're read from the hard drive? Is there some crack I can install?

    1. read the readme file.

    2. look up an older thread about this problem.

        I've searched the readme and found nothing helpful.

        I've looked up older threads and found nothing.

        I don't know where to get a virtual cd application.

          They try to prevent people from doing this to ensure they have and play from only a legal copy of the game.

            too bad it's so loud and obnoxious that i won't play it if i can't find some way to cure this.

            yes, i did buy a legal copy.

              Is your CD player noisy with other disks?

              I think the MOO3 CD may require more write-caching or some such. Try playing with your CD player settings some.
