Multiple installs of SH4, possible?

Piggy · 03-12-09, 11:11 AM

I would like to have two installs of SH4 for different mods, however it appears that once the game is installed on the PC you're not given an option to install it again, to another directory?

I dont have a partitioned drive, if that would help?

Can this be done?

(crosses fingers)

yes, just copy all contents of the game folder to another folder.
That's the way I've done it, and it works for me.

Talk about having a brainfreeze... come on Piggy, wake up man!

Outstanding program, Have multiple installs each with their own save games folder.

5 out of 5 stars!
"Download MultiSH4: http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~simpsond/SH4/MultiSH4.zip"

Happy Hunting!
