This isn't a topic for asking about a problem with illegal software.

If I buy Halo 2 Vista, then bring it home, what would I need to make it able to run on XP? I keep seeing videos of people loading iso. files onto whatever but that's only if you rip the game from a torrent. I'm not doing that. But I do need the loader.exe and files that come with the torrents. But just not the actual game included in the torrent.

Well I'm asking two questions; Do I need daemon tools if I'm going to already buy the Halo 2 Vista disc? And what do I need to make H2V run on XP?

Keep in mind I don't need the game from a torrent. I just need the free software I can download to be able to run the game on XP. Or is there a way through going in the folders and doing some stuff to the game >_>

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

I have the files you need, but before you get them, you might want to know that you cannot play multiplayer on XP.

Yup, this is true.

I got H2V to work on XP, but it was really buggy. I tried to join/create a game on Network/Live, and nothing happened. Also, the NPCs mouths don't seem to animate when they talk in Campaign, it's really odd.

But I could have sworn I've heard stories of people playing online on XP somewhere.. for for now, I'm just gonna say you probably can't play online on H2V if you get it working for XP.

N357: You may want to host said files on FileDropper.com. It's teh bestest best upload website ever. Just go to the webpage, hit "upload", and thar you go. No waiting, no crap--and you don't even need an account ^_^

(btw, I used to have the XP loader thing, but since I no longer use XP, I got rid of it.)

Edit: Also, to the OP; I don't think you should call the XP loader a "crack", because it isn't one. A crack is something you use to, well, (illegally) "crack" software so you can play it without actually buying it (which is bad).

You may want to consider calling it an "XP loader hack". Because there is a fine, fine line between hacks n' cracks (and hackers n' crackers). The latter is the evil one.

Thanks, Bapabooiee, but I actually have a web site I can upload stuff to. I just don't like giving up the link in public. :)

Modifying Halo 2 Vista to work on XP is not allowed and could get you banned.

Doubt it. I'll make the assumption you don't quite know what you're talking about, or know anything about how software works.

You don't actually modify the Halo 2 V software at all. You only modify the runtime environment so that you can actually get it to run.
