Since the CD is required to run StarCraft, the CD is also required to run StarDraft, even if you replace every single file on the CD… the names must exist in install.exe, or the appropriate MPQ archive… otherwise the replacement files will not be loaded. This is good though, because it means that people can’t create NOCD hacks with our software.
