Totte Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Posting this for a friend of mine. Hopefully you'll be able to answer his question: I'm wondering if you know how you can load two separate MVP files on the computer. I tried this weekend but the only option I received was to remove the one I already have. I'm interested in having a second which I play the classics with. Thanks guys :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immac Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 You have to install the first one, and then copy all the files to a new directory. I did this for online play. I installed MVP from scratch, applied the patch and the 06 mod, and then copied everything to a new folder. Then I had a fresh version of MVP to play online, and I modded the other folder for single player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim825 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Here are the steps: 1. Make a copy of your entire MVP Baseball 2005 folder (and all subdirectories). 2. Rename the copied MVP Baseball 2005 folder to something else (for example "Total Classics 2005"). You now have two separate copies of MVP installed. 3. When you install Total Classics and are asked where to install the files, select your "Total Classics 2005" folder. Make sure that when you select the folder that you double click on it so that the subfolder icons appear (i.e. you actually open up the Total Classics 2005 folder). If you don't do this, the install will fail (trust me, this happened to me). 4. Create a new desktop icon by copying the original MVP Baseball 2005 desktop icon. Rename the new icon to Total Classics 2005 and edit the shortcut to point to Total Classics 2005 folder. That's all there is to it! Both versions of MVP ("Regular" and Total Classics) have to share the profiles, .SAV rosters and dynasty files contained with the MVP Baseball 2005 directory within My Documents but that isn't a big deal. Everything else is separate like stadiums, uniforms, teams etc etc ..... Also, remember that if you want to install new stadiums, new uniforms, etc. and you want to install it in both versions of MVP that you need to run the installation twice, once for Regular MVP and once for Total Classics.
