Hey guy's,
I'm trying to make a back up copy of evil genius. I've given up on a cd back up, but I would like to play the game without having to insert the play disc. I copied the the patch for evil genius(The one that says it requires no cd to play). When I open the patch I get the message"Unable to Locate DLL" and also states that the dynamic link library granny2.dll could not be found in the specified path. I've read that I might have to create a temporary directory and install the game there first and then run the patch. How can I fix the problem and how can I create a directory?? Thanks....Adam

i'm just guessing here .. but put the "patch" in the game folder .... and run it from there..
or put it in whatever folder the DLL is in .. and run it from there..

this is just an uneducated guess...

Thanks Tbaher, I figured out how to set up a temporary directory, but still no luck on inserting the No-CD Executable files.. Adam

You copy and paste the no-cd exe into the same folder as the original game exe, overwrite the file and play

I just do not get it. Did you even install the game ?

I think what you read about a temporary directory was referring to a warez version that was compressed.. so you had to decompress it into a folder.. or something..

or is it the NFO file giving instructions for warezing?

NFO files for cracks come from warez versions of games (this is why they say "Burn the game into a CD" as step 1)

Install the game from your original CDs .. run it .. if it runs fine .. then fiddle with the cracks..
if it doesnt run well with original CDs.. or if you don't have the original CDs.. then NEVER post anything about it here..

Good luck..
