PortableRA beta

[Iran]

Here's a beta of my Red Alert build that includes a beta of my patch:

Did you hack out all CD drive requests?

[Iran]

Not sure, using hifi's no-cd code. Haven't seen any requests while playing normally.

[Nyerguds]

it's just, I heard that even in nocd mode, the original search for drives gives problems on systems that simply don't HAVE any CDROM type drive.

Oh that, I think hifi's no-CD fixed that when he fixed the issue where with other no-CDs you still need to have a CD in the drive. I have no idea though. Guess we'll find out sooner or later.

 

Edit: Okay there's three patches. GetCDClass' constructor checks for DRIVE_FIXED (hard drive) instead of DRIVE_CDROM (CD) now. Init_CDROM_Access() is patched to do nothing and Force_CD_Available() always returns true.

 

Looks like it'll be easy to make no-CD optional.
