SH3 Multiple Copies?

swordfish1 · 05-17-16, 08:03 AM

Is it possible to run two versions of SH3 on separate drives, ie. NYGM on one and WAC on the other for instance? The DVD always tries to default to the original installation and it doesn't look as though there is a way to tell it to install to a different location on a second install attempt. Any feedback appreciated.

After you did a clean vanilla installation of SH3, copy and paste the installation folder wherever you want.

If your installation isn't clean anymore [already modded], use the SH3 Cleaner and install from DVD again using a different installation folder of your choice.

It's a good idea to burn this entire installation folder of the clean vanilla SH3 to a DVD.
This way you're able to use as many copies as you want wherever and whenever you want.

For different savegame folders you may need MultiSH3.

Not to forget:
additional desktop shortcuts [varying named of course] to the several corresponding sh3.exes may be helpful...
