by arov » Sun, 23 Sep 2001 18:53:57

i'm getting back into nfs:porsche and can't run a network game.  how do I do
it?  i have two pcs networked, both with voodoo cards and i can only run pu
on one at a time (the one with the cd in). i've tried mapping the cd rom
from the first computer and running it off there but it says insert the
correct cd.  *** that.  what is the fix?  thanks for any help

Wouldn't help without two install codes.

hi Kasey, can you elaborate?

re the gamecopyworld site, I can't find anywhere to download the zip file
with patch.bat. all the zip files just contain the world DEL.  some idiot
went and deleted them all.  however, the instructions are below.  does
anybody know where else to download this fix?  (i hate this, I don't even
have control over the software I buy, can't run on two pcs, can't backup. do
those losers want me to take up mass *** instead?)

Need For Speed 5 v3.3 [US/ENGLISH] CD-Copy 21-04-2000
Patch Archive [1.4 MB]
CD-Copy Instructions:
 Create the following temporary directories:
 TempDir :  C:\TEMP\CD
 Copy the full contents of the original CD to TempDir.
 Extract the UPDATE.ZIP archive to TempDir.
 Execute PATCH.BAT to apply the Patch.
 Create a CD-Image (DATA - Mode 1) and burn the contents
     of TempDir to a CD-R and use this CD-Label:     NFS V
 Install the game - Full Installation.
 Copy the HUDSTRINGS.H file from the CD to: <GameDir>\FEDATA\LOCALE\
 Play the Game!

I seriously doubt that you can link two copies together, each
copy installed with the same install keycode. I've never tried it, so I
don't know what will happen, but I believe that for a game that costs
about $20 in stores now, you are wasting too much time on it trying
to get around this limitation.

Also keep in mind that hacked versions (i.e. gamecopyworld modified)
cannot be auto-patched.

The way I do it:
Start game with CD in PC 1
Eject CD
Place CD in PC 2
Start game on PC 2
Two up play with one CD ahoy!

Works a treat for me.

This is the same way that I did it, I looked like an idiot running
through the house up and down the stairs.

Get something called clonecd and just copy the cd for the second computer.
You can download an eval version for free (do a search for it).  If you try
switching cds from computer to computer it sometimes crashes.  I wish they'd
let you spawn a network version like nfs 2

I wish they had real traffic like NFS/NFS-SE.  Man, that was fun dodging
traffic :)

I've done that. Works for Nascar 2, GPL, etc.

LOL

CloneCD copy of NFSPU was fairly quick (only a little over 1 hour), NFSHS
took about 6-8 hours to read all the safedisk errors to clone. I guess they
figured no one would want Porsche Unleashed much.

Granted this was a while ago with a 6x4x32x Acer burner. Make sure you have
a good (compatible) burner for CloneCD.
