Also the 3rd party stuff generally only came with the gold editions of the hardware and generally not downloadable from Creative's site. While they were often light versions, they still had the authors' (Steinberg, Twelve Tone Systems, etc.) labels on the discs and had to be registered to them. My …

Why is this in the Windows game forum? I would also question the the legality of distributing this disc.

I also came across DiscFerret, which seems to take the same approach, but is not quite done and is a bit more expensive. Their site is WikiMedia based, which seems to be currently broken. http://www.discferret.com/wiki/DiscFerret

NRS, any thought about the KryoFlux? I have been toying with the idea of getting one.

IF a game doesn't follow that practice and is installed in a \Program Files\, it still ends up in C:\Users\etc\appdata\local\Windows\VirtualStore. And if it is one of the disallowed extensions it will fail. That is why LSL5 won't work on Vista+ if installed inside %ProgramFiles% if UAC is on. It …

Mine is an old Maxis copy that has a DOS, Win3x and Win9x versions. The 9x version seems to work fine on my Win7 x64. The installer is 16bit, but installing it in XP Mode and copying the files and Registry entries seems to be enough. It would be pretty easy for me to do a replacement installer for …
