Stubbs the Zombie
 

- put CD3-1 into a temp folder overwriting existing files
- edit "Stubbs the zombie.msi" with Orca, go to media tab and change VolumeLabel to e.g. "Stubbs" and save
- include a crack folder
- burn content to a blank dvd-r naming it "Stubbs"
- install game
- play

It puts a big smile on my face when I see you add these 2 lines to the conversions:
And
:D ;)
The 2 questions I get asked the most are:
1. Do I overwrite any files?
2. What label do I use?
:)

You can also integrate the crack into the CAB file.

1. Copy Data1.cab from CD1 and Data11.cab from CD2 to temp dir and extract the Data1.cab file with WinRAR/WinZip. Files in Data11.cab will be extracted too as it's part of the Data1.cab archive, it's just that the files are split into 2 CAB files to fit on CD's

2. Once the files are extracted, delete the 2 CAB files then copy the cracked STUBBS.EXE into the same folder as the extracted files and overwrite the existing STUBBS.EXE file.

3. Copy this file list to a text file called 'list.txt':

4. Copy CABARC.EXE and the 'list.txt' file into the temp folder, run a Command Prompt and navigate to the temp folder and type in this command: cabarc n data1.cab @list.txt and hit RETURN, wait and wait and wait until the new Data1.cab archive is created.

To make the DVD, copy all the files from CD1, CD2 and CD3 to a new folder. Delete the Data1.cab and Data11.cab file you just copied and then copy over the newly created Data1.cab file.

Edit the 'Stubbs The Zombie.msi' file, edit the TABLES > MEDIA file and delete all the DISK1 DISK2 and DISK3 entries and save the new MSI file, make sure you copy the edited MSI file into the folder you extracted the CD's into and overwrite the original MSI installer.

Now test burn the files to a Re-Writeable DVD using ANY volume label and install it. You should now be able to install a fully cracked backup from DVD :)

If all goes OK burn to a DVD-R/+R.

Beautifully said mate. Exactly what I like to hear. :D
Oh yeh, the rest of it was pretty good too. :p ;)

I know Grumpy, I always make sure the conversion actually works first by burning to a re-writeable DVD and installing, saved many a coaster doing that :)

Well, when I post a conversion you can be sure it works cause I tested it the way I posted. Nuff said!

@Grumpy: Don't get what you mean, even if you don't have to overwrite anything - well, who cares if it works (just quoted my own conversion and renamed the necessary words)?
Btw, naming means labeling!

@Trismogestos
Yes, I think you mis-understood what I was saying.
A lot of people used to contact me and ask me what label (yes, I know it is the same as name) they should name their DVD. They also used to ask "Do I overwrite any files".
So, what I was saying is, I like it when you add these lines to your conversions. And yes, even add "No files to overwrite" if that is how it works.
I was actually complimenting your conversion. So do not take offence to anything I have said as it is only a mis-understanding.

Also, BarryB was not saying you do not test your conversions.
Barrys comments was to me because I tell a lot of people to test on a DVD-RW first, that way they dont make coasters.
Dont worry, I know your conversions work, I have tried a few of them myself and I have complete faith in what you submit.
Hopefully that clears it all up. ;)

Okilidokily!

If anybody wants a copy of the edited MSI file, just PM me and I'll email you a copy. The file is too big to post. Maybe one of the Mods could tell my how to post it at GameCopyWorld.
