Hi all !!!
Well I know some will laugh at me because these are non-adult games, hehehe, but what can I do ? I love this saga, movies, books... I just bought all the games from the saga today, but the quiditch cup one, which they didn't have at the store.
So I have been working on the sorcere's stone CD in the last 1 or 2 hours (before this thread), trying to, guess anyone ? to make the game install in english and not in portuguese-Brazil. So, after this period of time, I finally got the game running in english :). Maybe I'll graduate to hacker soon, huh ? heheheh
Seriously, this language alteration was not a picknick. Now that I know how to do it, it is, but it is not as easy to find out as the same thing for The Sims 2. Regkeys alterations for HP do not do anything, I had to rearrange some files in the CD.
So, the experiment is sucessfull and I don't exactly need anything to play the game in english now, but I would like to know if you guys can help me out with a tiny little thing.
I tried to browse two CAB files in the "sorcere's stone" CD, but winzip says : "Winzip cannot open "C:\blahblahblah\data1.cab" because it is not in the standard microsoft cab format (as defined in mid-1998). The "signature bytes" required by the Microsoft CAB specification are missing."
I also have WinACE, WinRAR and MagicISO, neither opens this file.
Does anyone here knows the best software there is for ANY CAB files format ? The thing is, since I rearranged the files in the CD (copy of the CD in the hard drive, of course), there's no problem with the game, I just want to take out the installation warnings that keep telling me that "the file size you're installing (rearranged file) is different than the one present in the CAB file".
Please help if you can :).
Now I'm off to try to do the same language alteration from PT-BR to EN with the "prisoner of azkaban" and "the goblet of fire" :). The chamber of secrets brazilian CD, thank the Lord, it already comes with English as an option to install hehehe :).
Some people in here sometimes argue with me saying that I'm not patriotic. Well, what can I do when the voiceovers from the local actors lack of quality ? The UK accent is much more entertaining and beautifull, plus it's the original voices from the movies, and it also gives that "aristocracy" feeling to the game :). I like that :) hehehe.
See ya !!!
Hope I can find out how to play HP3 and HP4 in EN too :).
Byes !!!
PS: What's the original title for HP1 in UK ? Philosopher's or Sorcere's ?
