KOTOR

Hi all,

KOTOR is strictly singleplayer right? So I won't have trouble with the
CD-key if I buy it on eBay?

TIA

Exactly - there is one of those wonderful Bioware keys, but the only real
use for it is getting a KotOR owner descriptor on the Bioware forums.

Ok, great. Just wanted to make sure before getting a used copy

Thanks for the info.

Right.

KotOR does not have nor require a CD key. To register the game, you use
the UPC code (found both on the box and in the manual). I bought mine
off eBay, works great.

But then you won't be able to post in the official forum. (Some KOTOR forums
require the owner status to post in)
No big deal, I guess.

- if you haven't got Daemon Tools, CloneCD or similar installed - then it
refuses to run, because the blokes at Bioware probably thunk that if you
have these tools, then you probably pirated their game. No matter if you
have the original CD in the drive. :-(((

I have these programs running to keep my original games in mint
condition, and KOTOR can't run on my system, even though I've paid 450
danish Kroner (around 45 UK£ or 75 US$) for it. So it sits on the shelf,
and I'll think more than twice before ever buying games from
Bioware/Lucasarts again. :-(((((

First, Bioware has no say in the use of copy-protection schemes. That is
solely the choice of the publisher (LucasArts for KotOR, Atari for NWN).
Second, there are no-CD cracks available and they work quite well.
Third, I have gotten KotOR to run using an image made with the latest
version of Alcohol 120% and emulated with Alcohol 120%.

Unfortunately, updating my video card has caused some wierd malfunction
where the emulation works the first time I run the game after booting
the PC, but won't work on successive tries. So I've gone back to the
no-CD, which, as I said, works just fine.

Don't you just love it when publishers _encourage_ piracy like this?
