Using a Crack with AnyGameStarter
Darby:
Thanks to Zazazu and others (baaa!) in the SuckyROM thread, I have rid my computer of that crap and am now playing my full game (everything up to AL) from a crack.
However, I also have a 'hood in which I'm running an apocalypse challenge that was started before I got FT and AL, and I'd like to use Numenor's AnyGameStarter to exclude those two EPs from it. Problem is, I can't figure out where to install the cracked exe for BV in order to run this "anygame". Hepl, pleeze?
I've exhausted my best Google-Fu and use of the search feature, but have not been able to find the answer. I'd ask Numenor himself except that he apparently does not approve of the use of cracks and wouldn't, I'm sure, tell me - assuming he even knows.
Gwill:
Where on earth have you been looking?
Last I checked http://www.gamecopyworld.com had no-cd cracks for every EP with and without patch installed.
Darby:
Not looking for the cracks themselves - I've got those. My question was, where do I put the crack for an AnyGame?
I may have finally figured it out this morning while taking a closer look at things in hopes that I could articulate all this well enough to not sound like a complete idiot. So...
I know the AL crack for my full game goes in C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Apartment Life\TSBin, and all is working brilliantly on that score. Now I think the BV crack I need to use for my any game goes in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\AnyGameStarter\AppFiles. The shortcut generated by AGS points to an application called "hidcon" that's inside the AppFiles folder, so that same folder is where I now have the cracked BV exe.
New problem, assuming I've even got the crack it in the right place now, is that it's not working. When I try to run the BV anygame by clicking on the BV crack shortcut, I get an error that's simply a red circle with a white "X" in it. What am I doing wrong?
Zazazu:
I would suspect it needs to go in the same place as for your full game. Like with AL, but C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 BonVoyage\TSBin.
Darby:
That was my first thought, but how do I get the BV crack shortcut to recognize I'm trying to access the anygame rather than the full game?
ETA: When I try to launch it from there, I get the error that I'm running the wrong version and need to use Apartment Life instead.
