Updating pirated games with a cracked client or launcher?

I have been trying to learn as much as possible about cracked Steam clients and launchers.

However, I still do not know if a cracked Steam client be used to download and apply updates to pirated games? I was under the impression that this could work for games using .ncf or .gcf files. Perhaps it is possible to use this with releases from SKIDROW? Eg Deus Ex Human Revolution-SKIDROW.

I assume the games require a no-cd as well? For example I have the Deus Ex - Human Revolution update v1.3.643.1 update (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=APRNOVYI). but no coresponding no-cd crack.I assume the game will not launch.
