Absolute fucking joke. Here I thought the whole time with RED MC that we would be able to do some crazy stuff, but I was wrong. I'm still working around the global/startup logos.

EA does not care much about this community the way we think they do. In the past decade alone we have only had ridiculously small mentions/blurbs that I can count on one hand, and one really good article.

We can scan one and make a duplicate

I'm not saying you shouldn't pay ~$100 for MVP Baseball 2005 which came out 10 years ago, but I understand.

Legally, emulators are legal but the ROMs you use on them are not. Can you play a game like Hardball 6 today on a Windows machine? Not really. You need DOSBox for that. DOSBox is an emulator. I feel it's a great thing that Emulators and ROMs exist. Some games you simply can't buy anymore (abandonware), and some games will never go on sale again because the company who owns the rights no longer exists. From a pure archival perspective, in my opinion I feel that emulators are good. They prevent us from losing games. Without emulation we'd have lost generations of games, and I've seen and read about companies who just sit on IPs instead of re-releasing them enough to know that if it weren't up to piracy/abandonware, we'd never see many titles again, ever. I have a personal rule when it comes to piracy which is why I'm not driven enough as an admin to go after people who pirate MVP. The game is 10 years old and it's no longer supported. EA has not made another PC baseball game since then and hasn't made another baseball video game period in about 7 years. The only time I would drop the hammer on members is if MVP was still an active series on PC, but it is not.

Emulator talk is okay, what is not okay is talking about where to find or download roms, or uploading them here. Just being reasonable.

My condolences to both you and your family, DeuceBlades.

We're due for a software update, just waiting on Trues to return from his sabbatical

No. If you want to buy a legit copy of the game, please go through the proper channels to do so.

It is not possible to add pitches that were not in the original game, unfortunately.

I believe it's an issue with the uniforms but I can't be sure

I've got a pretty nice looking linux desktop here that I'm happy with

A majority of the popular files on the site have very detailed instructions on how to install them.

Get this, there is a program that's even better than Notepad++: http://www.sublimetext.com/

YEEEEEAHHHHH

Also, use Notepad++ to make changes

Here we go. I want to make this an annual tradition. Most of my wallpapers are in 1080p or higher: I'd like to see what you're all sporting as lock screens and wallpapers

Article 5.4 of the General Posting Rules

Try to enable VSYNC in both the Catalyst Control Center and in the game

Combine the packs, any player shots that might not look right just send them to me and I'll work my photoshop skills as much as possible to make them look good

You know what the kicker is? I don't have a copy of Windows XP.

It's what I'm trying to figure out. I have copies of Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 (shoutout to my IT jobs over the years), but I'm not trying to install a new OS either for regular use or within a virtual machine just to play MVP.

This is a good question. I'll take a seat here and try to explain and elaborate on things the best way I can: The game uses copyright protection in the executable. This we know for sure, since if you don't have Disc 2, the game won't run, or if you mounted an ISO for Disc 2, the game won't run anyway since it checks the disc for a very specific set of bytes that can't be replicated by casually burning/mounting an ISO of Disc 2. Circumventing (working around) that protection by cracking the game is pirating software. It's no different than playing a copy of MLB2K12 that you've "acquired" and using rld.dll to get around the DRM on the disc/Steam versions, or installing a KMS loader on Windows 7 so your version appears genuine. Same idea. Since you mention modding, this is another point I'd like to address: As a modder, there is a difference between modding a uniform and modding a game so it can run without the security measures in place. A huge difference. modding the game by tampering with the game's texture files (which is, let's be honest, a vast majority of the work featured on our site) is entirely different, because the game will *still* work, modified files or not. Since we're on the topic of piracy/cracking the game, I consider myself to be a much more progressive admin when it comes to trying to tackle this issue and as such my views have evolved a bit over the years. I've come to an understanding that we as a collective, inclusive community are supporting a disc-based game in an age where where we have Steam, GMG, and Origin for digital games. First things first, let's be honest here: Disc-based games are hard to find and expensive to pay for. I mean, in no way am I ever forking over over $100 for MVP on Amazon or EBay again. The best way to keep a copy of MVP 2005 these days is to just generate the ISOs and store them somewhere, (be it on the cloud, a portable hard drive), and mount them whenever you need to, and play with a crack. I understand this is how a majority of the community plays the game these days. I don't think it really matters if someone has a cracked copy of MVP or a legal copy of MVP as going on a witch hunt does nothing but splinter the community, which is what we don't want. If you believe cracking the game will allow you to play MVP on Windows 10, at the end of the day, all that I ask, as your admin, is to avoid discussing piracy publicly. This includes information such as how to find no-cd cracks, torrents, ISOs, etc. If you want to keep things in PMs, do that instead. That's fine with me. Posting a crack or a link to a crack, let alone asking how to find one on the forums will get you an immediate ban. It's outlined in the rules/site guidelines and it's a rule our staff would feel that you consciously broke. We've put in a lot of time in revamping our site and in how we communicate with our users as part of the 10th anniversary of MVP and it would suck to see people go. I'm not a fan of banning people outright, because people always come back, but we can only clarify the rules as much as we can.

I couldn't pull it off for batting, so I only changed the field of view for the fielding cameras. I'd rather not do it at all if I can't achieve the exact look/feel I want.
