Personally, I don't have a problem with no-cd cracks, the opposite - I strongly object to the cd copy protections and other protection methods that mostly hurt legitimate customers.

But I guess posting the cracked executable (with the cd protection removed) will be mostly frowned upon so one option is indeed to provide a patch and let those who are interested go hunt for the modified executable themselves.

Can’t you write a program that attaches to the rtw process and patch it in memory after the executable is unpacked and loaded? You may be able to cover both versions of the exe this way, just a guess.
