RIP INFO :

CLS released a rip of this game on 48 disks. Rule #2 of the NSA says:

"To prevent sloppy rips, a re-release of a game is allowed to make groups
release proper and respectable releases. The following provisions
include:

a) it can be ripped in >=10 disks less than the previous release by us-
ing only lossless compression methods. Lossy compression will not be
permitted to compromise the release to fit under this condition.

b) it can be ripped in >=15 disks less of the size of the previous
release by using mp3-compression while not downgrading any wavs
or mp3's sound quality using lossy compression.

That means all the essential gamedata must be still included in the re-
release. No essential data is allowed to be removed to be considered a
valid re-release. A re-release from a competing group may not use tools,
original crack or any other files from the previous release that were
modified for the original game rip.

The re-release of a rip can be done by any group and must be done in
at most 48 hours after the release of the original rip, as possibly
every game is rippable in a smaller size if enough time is spent."

This rip qualifies as a proper rip since it includes all the gamedata
that CLS's rip had. We merely used UHARC compression to considerably
bring it down in size. The exe was taken from the ISO and not from
CLS's rip.

And to CLS: the exact extraction time of UHARC'ed archives takes
954 seconds or roughly 16 minutes on a K6-2 500/64mb RAM, and NOT
around 5 hours as you claimed in your NFO :). And in our opinion it's
better to spend 16 minutes while unpacking the release than additional
2 and a half hours while downloading it on dialup. But in any case
keep up the great job you're usually doing. Everyone makes mistakes
sometimes. We're not trying to make CLS look bad here, we're simply
doing what's best for the end user.

Ripped out: Play by Play. Intro. No addons expected.

INSTALLATION :

Unzip, Unace, run unpack.bat to extract the game, then reply "yes" when
asked if you want to add a file to your registry. Extract crack.ace
contained in the first zip into the main game directory. Setup your
graphic card setting by running 3DSetup\3DSetup.exe . Start the game
with stars.exe .

GROUP NEWS :

We'd like to dismiss all rumours about supposedly "our" release of
Sims Livin' Large. The game was never released by our team, ie: it's
a FAKE.

Interested in joining our team? We're looking for serious game suppliers.
Store pickups can do the job (the games have to be new AND unreleased),
but if you have better means of acquiring games, we're even more
interested. Of course we will reimburse the original cost of the game.
Hardware suppliers are also needed. No reimbursement, :). We're also
looking for *experienced* crackers who can handle SAFEDISC/SECUROM/VOB
protections. Or maybe you're an experienced coder who can do some intros,
cracktros and demos ? Or even, a great trainer maker ? If you answered yes
to any of these questions, please contact us now. NO COURIERS NEEDED.

We're also looking for a new Asian HQ to expand our dynasty, so if you're
a siteop from this area, please contact us.
