is there anyway i can back up PC games with out having to use a NO-CD Patch!!???
NO CD patches are classed as WAREZ and not discussed in this forum.
Getting a 1:1 copy, a pseudo 1:1 copy by manipulating the image file, or a virtual drive emulation ARE acceptable methods, but ONLY for the protection of your original CD.
It depends, of course - some protections are easy, some are difficult, and some are impossible with current tools.
Try the CD backup area
