A website like gamecopyworld but instead of cracked EXE's, it has original EXE's, useful for games that need the original EXE when patching such as GTA San Andreas.

What for? the original exe is on original cd. Simple.

But re-installing takes so long and sometimes you lose your savegames etc.

Does anyone know how to extract files from Installshield 10/11 CAB files?
Data1.cab, Data2.cab etc?

Here is one better, before you overwrite the original installed exe make a backup...


Hurrah!

The original exe's for a lot of games are unarchived, and can usually be found on CD 1.

For Installshield CAB archives, use iXcomp. See http://snoopy81.ifrance.com/snoopy81/en/winpack.htm for WinPack, a GUI for them.

Also, gamers need to learn a few general guidelines before starting to use cracks. One of them is: backup files before overwriting them.

Your whole idea is against the forum rules (although they don't explicitly state that you're not allowed to ask for original files) so, I think, it's time for this thread to be closed.
