JeffIsSoGreat Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) What do you mean by ball lag? I am new to this MVP/PC world within the last few days, and I was able to get the PC version working from Abandonware with a few minor tweaks and it seems to run pretty well. The biggest tweak related to sniping single DLL files that would have likely been tied to the old version of DirectX that doesn't want to install because it is so dated. Thinking out loud here: if your issue is related to the modern OS, will the disc version actually help you? To install the game I had to mount both discs which should be identical to the CD Rom. It was crucial for me to find d3dx9_27.dll because it was required but would not install because the old DirectX version was rejected due to newer versions being around.

JeffIsSoGreat Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I wonder if this might help? I didn't install these myself, but did notice they are out there. Sorry fellas, wasn't trying to break any rules and didn't really mention cracking anything! Just pointing out the DLL file I had to find from old DirectX 9 version. Happy Friday!

Happy Friday! long story short, when you run these patches and try to run the game using virtual disks (not having physical) you get a cd rom error resulting from drm security, regardless of having both disks inserted/loaded or not Quote Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/75150-looking-to-accquire-mvp-baseball-2005-pc-cd/#findComment-713312 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikz Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 (edited) UPDATE I received the package a week late, and received it with only mvp disc one inside every other game in the bundle was complete expect for mvp baseball 2005, how much more unlucky can you get I can't return the package, contacting the seller for last resort to see if he has it. I hate buying second hand games and never recommend buying unless extreme circumstances like this I don't think im gonna try to purchase a game for awhile, this was a big bummer if someone here has an extra copy, please reach out Edited March 19 by ikz Quote Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/75150-looking-to-accquire-mvp-baseball-2005-pc-cd/#findComment-713414 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told you to check eBay. If the cracked version of the game was working for you you'd have never asked how to get a copy of the game. 17 hours ago, ikz said: UPDATE I received the package a week late, and received it with only mvp disc one inside every other game in the bundle was complete expect for mvp baseball 2005, how much more unlucky can you get Since disc number two is needed for installation there is nothing you can do and you are back where you started. 17 hours ago, ikz said: I don't think im gonna try to purchase a game for awhile, this was a big bummer So, you are right back at the beginning.

I haven't played MVP in years, because I think my Disc 2 is cracked. Or maybe it was Disc 1.....
