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.

If you are going to discuss getting a cracked version to work, take it offline.  We don't discuss or provide support for illegal downloads on this site.  It's against the rules.

i have the game running fine, its just the cracked version of the game is near a 1.00 release, so i get the ball movement lag that was later patched in one of the five patches, im not sure how you wouldnt get that with using the crack

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!

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

You're already way ahead of me! Good luck brother!

 

Trying to go backwards in technology is surprisingly difficult.

its always been an issue! its come a long way, PCem emulates real hardware to be able to properly process older games that are obsolete, something id recommend before trying to build a retro pc for older windows games

Update:

 

I ended up buying a -lot of PC games from a seller on eBay that had MVP Baseball 2005 included, here is the listing

 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/387634765905

 

im going to resell the other games that it came with, if anyone is interested in purchasing one, please reach out in the DM

 

I will be reaching out with an update if the copy of MVP Baseball 2005 was in working shape and if I get a better experience in comparison to the cracked version

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

The cracked version of the game wasn't working well for you so you decided to look for ways to get the legitimate copy. 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.

Since disc number two is needed for installation there is nothing you can do and you are back where you started.

So, you are right back at the beginning. You are using a cracked copy. Don't even post about the problems you have with that because you get no support here for that. Read this from the site rules.

 

5. Discussions and requests for illegal downloads (via admission or open discussion) or making them available to other posters is explicitly prohibited. This content includes (but is not limited to):

CD Keys (MLB 2K or MVP Baseball or otherwise) & Serial Numbers

No-CD cracks

Warez (Illegaly copied or cracked versions of the games)

Original Game Files

 

You did not request any illegal downloads but you did talk about it multiple times. No more.

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