Hi mecoatwar

I understand that using a nocd can be completely legal, but unfortunately we can't support or endorse their use here, so I have to close the thread.

If you do pursue nocds, be aware that the sites that provide them (or claim to) are a haven for viruses and spyware. Keep your guard up, and something doesn't feel right, it's probably not.

I advise you to just use the disc. It will take a long time to "wear out" (I still have discs for Win 95 games which work perfectly well), and a lot of cracks cause problems with the game or the system. My advice is to stay away from them. They're too much trouble for any slight performance they might give.
