+[[NOCD.SI]] is an [[Interleaf File]] played whenever the game cannot find its main assets (usually meaning the CD-ROM is not inserted). It's the only Interleaf file that gets transferred to LEGO Island's install directory, as it (naturally) needs to be accessible without the CD inserted. Its only content is a {{Wikipedia|Smacker video}} stream.

-Officially, NOCD.SI is played whenever the LEGO Island disc is not inserted. Specifically, it plays when it cannot find <code>Lego\Scripts\Isle\ISLE.SI</code> in either the "diskpath" or "cdpath" (having <code>ISLE.SI</code> without the other SI files will cause LEGO Island to softlock on startup, but will not display NOCD.SI).
+When LEGO Island starts up, it checks for <code>Lego\Scripts\Isle\ISLE.SI</code> anywhere it can. If it cannot find it, it plays the Smacker video in NOCD.SI and then exits immediately after.
+If it ''does'' find <code>ISLE.SI</code>, it will continue launching as normal. If none of the other Interleaf files are present, the game will softlock trying to find the LEGO opening animation and Information Center files.
