I am going to buy an iBook G3, but I am unsure about the software I have now. When I use Migration Assistant to take all of my stuff and put it on the new computer, will G3 revert to its demo format? And, if so, what can I do? Oh, and for you PC people, Migration Assistant is an application which takes everything you have that belongs only to you on your computer, and copies it over to the new computer. So, all your funny little video clips, documents, pix, etc. I'm also worried about Geneforge 3 in the matter of how it will react to the new computer. Anyone with iBook G3s, please reply! -------------------- You Shall Die Laughing: http://www.worfthecat.ermarian.net/converted The Roost: www.roost01.proboards104.com.

They're really good about that sort of thing. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

For a while, -X-'s games would repeatedly unregister. -X- had to email Jeff several times before he gave up and just put the registered versions onto CD's. -------------------- May the fires of Undeath burn in your soul, and consume it. Posts: 1636 | Registered: Wednesday, January 5 2005 08:00 |

Go into the folder for preferences for the operating system and look for the different Spiderweb game preference files. Copy those files to a disk or flash drive and you can reload them when your games "loses" their registrations. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Thanks! -X-, are you using Windows or Mac? No Mac game I know of would just unregister. -------------------- You Shall Die Laughing: http://www.worfthecat.ermarian.net/converted The Roost: www.roost01.proboards104.com.

I buy the games on CD just to avoid that situation, and I use windows xp. All I transfer over from the games is the save states, and the parties I created to use as templates. -------------------- Either I'm crazy, or everybody else is nuts.

Doesn't ordering on CD-ROM take longer and cost more? -------------------- You Shall Die Laughing: http://www.worfthecat.ermarian.net/converted The Roost: www.roost01.proboards104.com. Birds of a feather flock together. Posts: 794 | Registered: Thursday, July 27 2006 07:00 |

It costs a bit more, unless you decide to buy the entire trilogy at once. But you get the registration code anyway, so you don't have to wait for the CD. Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

quote:It takes about a week or two in the U.S. to get the CD (which doesn't faze me too much, I'm a very patient person), and yes, it does cost a few dollars more. However, you can submit the game code along with your email address, so you can be sent a regstration code right away. And there's a plus side to getting the games on CD: You'll always have a registered copy on hand, in case you ever need to re-install or re-register it. -------------------- Either I'm crazy, or everybody else is nuts.

-X- is using Mac. What is this Windows of which you speak? -------------------- May the fires of Undeath burn in your soul, and consume it. Posts: 1636 | Registered: Wednesday, January 5 2005 08:00 |
