On the other hand, I find the installation (and later patching) terribly difficult and very confusing. Lots of guides pdf to read.
I wish someday there was an autoinstaller for NYGM.

Hi Bergerbcn. I have found the HSIE hardcode fix my biggest challenge. No matter if it is converted Steam install or actual DVD. My HSIE add on install under all situations fails. To fix this I do the following.
1. Install SH3
2. Install Living Silent Hunter. I use it as a stalking horse as it automatically installs HSIE patch. I then save that HSIE patched SHIII for any future installs I do.
3. Delete the Silent Hunter install, all of it and install Silent Hunter again.
4. Install the latest JSGME.
5. Install NYGM mods via JSGME
6. Install SH3 Commander
7. Copy over the saved HSIE patch from the previous effort.
8. Enable whatever HSIE features I want including the 4GB patch. Then activate that via JSGME
9. And I have a pretty good NYGM setup. Including future installs where I don't have to go through the pain of HSIE creating as I have a patched-with-HSIE Silent Hunter stored and ready.
10. Interesting is doing a follow-on with the Steiber patch-all the steps for that work...so... must be a more forgiving script. I like Steiber but don't always use it when I do an install.
11. I suspect the Tyco patch works too but I just haven't gotten around to using it.
My current, modest mod list is as follows. -- Good hunting.
