Disable the 'all units blow up' anti-copy feature.

We already are at EA's mercy...I wouldn't want to stretch that fragile peace we have

What they can do?

Although this will likely turn into a contentious issue, let me explain why I personally would like this particular 'feature' hacked out. I use linux quite a bit and if I want to play around with YR I'd like to not have to reboot into windows all the time. The game will run correctly using wine, but it suffers from all the units blowing up no matter how you install it under linux. The recommended way round it is to install a no-cd crack that stops all units blowing up 30 seconds into a mission and that is all well and good, but then I can't use and/or test the rock patch. Rather than calling it 'removing copy protection features', lets call it 'improving linux compatibility'

Try to find a good launcher
gamemd.exe only check some data
I have planned a "YR Speed Up" program which will increase YR speed via some tricks, and will allow to run without CD.
