I posted this question before but didn't get a real answer(or at least one I could understand.

) How can I play the game (MoO2) without the disk? Mine was destroyed by my sisters evil computer on vacation 2 weeks ago.

Well it is too late now, but I play off of safety copies as I have heard of Cd's being destroyed in some players. A search could find a few products that can play off of exact copies on HD, but too late for that. I do not know if any one made a "no Cd for Moo2" as it is old and has no copy protection. You can do a "no CD" search and fine things such as GameCopyWorld. Buy a new copy for less than $10 is the best way.

You don't need a hack to play moo2 without a CD.

Just install it, then copy all the files off of the CD into the install directory.

Then find the file in the install directory named: orioncd.ini

It has one line that says:
D:\

Change it to whatever your install directory is:
C:\progra~1\microp~1\orion2

The above is the default.

Should work fine then, does for me anyways.

That should work, but they would still need to have the CD to copy the files from at some point.

Oops yeah sorry, I just read the reply about the no-cd hack and not the part about his original cd being destroyed :P

And yeah, id just buy a new copy, its cheap these days
