--- Comment #11 from Max Noel maxfnoel@gmail.com 2009-01-03 18:25:26 --- What nocd crack are you using? I did try with one myself, to no avail.
Note that without a nocd crack and no disc in the drive, the game doesn't even bother trying to initialize its 3D engine -- a plain dialog with "Please insert disc 1" is all it ever does.
