hey guys I want to install a 2nd copy of sh4, but how do I do it? I have one hard drive its a WD caviar green 1TB (there's like 450 GB left on it). I got my game as a download from amazon.

I never tried to install a second copy of anything. I guess you just put it in a different directory. Give each start icon a different name.

When ever I hit install after it's downloaded it doesent let me install the game it just gives me options to modify, repair and remove. What do I do?

Hey avers,

There is a program called MultiSh4.

You beat me to it

Basically you need to make a clean install of SH4 and copy it into say. an OM folder, a TMO folder and so on - then add JSGME to each and mod away - MultiSH4 makes sure each version gets its own savegame folder

You can also get Multi-SH4 right here at Subsim Downloads.

its really easy, just start with a fresh brand new game install with no mods installed and jsgme already added, then make a copy of the entire sh4 game file found inside the ubisoft one and then rename it something different. do this as many times as you want for as many different copies of the game you want to run. you can put them anywhere you want to but I just keep them all inside the ubisoft folder on my computer and name them based on what they are used for like sh4-RFB or sh4-TMO.

after you have copied them you need to open each folder and copy that games exe shortcut and that games jsgme folder exe to your desktop and then rename both of those to the same name of that game so you now have separate game file and separate jsgme utilities for that game and if you use it do the same for the mission editor as well.

when you save games name the saves accordingly because opening the wrong save file in the wrong game will cause CTD
