Does anyone use emulators for their PC games?

[Sparks]

erm... yeah...
and how do i do that?
i haven't done that before so i don't know how to put three into one that i've already posted...
i would copy and paste but they've got quotes in...

....you have to use an app like alcohol 120% or poweriso to mount the .iso or other image file to a virtual drive, no burning needed. you can then install the game from the virtual drive. after that you have to replace the crack .exe with the .exe in the program files folder

i did exactly that, apart from the crack part for Warcraft 3...
and it still said i need the disk...
is the crack a whole file then or just something you can copy and paste into a file?

The crack is just the game .exe with the cd protection removed. so you just replace it with the old .exe :)

[fischju]

go to the shortcut on your desktop for the game (if you have one) and go to its target. the crack has the same name and must replace that file

why do you have to do that if the crack is the game .exe with the protection removed?
can't you just leave it like it is?

oh cool...
i tried all of the ideas you guys have put forward...
the one that worked was fischju's idea...
i had to use IE instead of FF to download Alcohol 120%,
but it worked...
thanks guys...
