"Insert the Pokémon PlayIt! CD into the CD-Rom drive."

If you downloaded either the sickiso release or the minime rip and try
to run the game, this is what you get. Not unless you have a burner and
actually burn the iso, you will never be able to play the game, and so
you'll be like.. aha, minime has released a rip.. so definitely they
cracked it so that it works without the cd! and so off you go to
download the minime rip for a few hours, then you unace the package and
run PlayIt!.exe and you get..

"Insert the Pokémon PlayIt! CD into the CD-Rom drive."

wtd!? well well, seems like minime cracker did attempt to patch up the
cd-check routine, without success (maybe it works only on his computer)
as there are a few jumps that were disabled in the minime exe as
compared to the uncracked one. Hence the minime rip should have been
nuked as nonworking. Anyway here's a fix for it, just overwrite the old
PlayIt!.exe with the one supplied in this release and enjoy the game.
Take note that clicking on extras would terminate the game with a CD
not found error, the extras is useless anyway, all it does is open up
the PDF documentation found in the \Pdfiles directory, so if you want
the extras thing just open up those files manually using Adobe Acrobat
reader (which was supplied with the iso).
To quote the minime nfo:

"Hey, don't whine about this release.. you just KNOW SCAR would of
released this game if we hadn't.. and most likely, would of royally
screwed it up."

that hurts, but oh well.. the irony of it all :)

copy the file PlayIt!.exe into the directory where you installed the
game, overwriting the old file.
