lumin: You said, "There are "no-cd fixes" out there, but they're all 16-bit "cracks" and even if you can find one, it won't run on any modern system". As I said, this is just plain false. I'm running the game on 3 desktop computers and my Linux Mint Laptop without any Hellfire CD at all with the GOG Diablo. So don't bullshit with me.
CLBrown: You know, you've got a bit of attitude there. Do you have a link to a "no-CD" fix which can be run on a 64-bit Windows system? If so, provide it here and now.
Every one I've seen is a 16-bit executable, which means it cannot run on a 64-bit system (except, perhaps, in a virtual machine).
You say "I have it." Fine. Explain how. It's EASY to say "well, I did it, so stop bullshitting me." It's a lot harder to actually make a POSITIVE statement, about how you did it.
C'mon. Give up the details. Or I'm "calling bullshit" on you. Because I KNOW that every single "no-CD fix" I've seen has been coded in 16-bit, and that means it cannot be run on a 64-bit Windows OS.
And I KNOW that the CD check is hard-coded into the game executable, meaning you can't just "copy over files" to bypass this. You need to alter the EXE. If you've done it using a HEX editor, please tell us what data you altered, by address and by content (original versus updated).
Want to do any of that?

This was linked in the sticky thread at the very top of this forum (which I already pointed out earlier), but don't tell anyone, it's a secret. I'm running it without the CD on my 64 bit Windows desktop PC, my 32 bit Windows PC, and my 64 bit Linux Mint Laptop.
