Software

Updates

  • DirectX 9.0c June 2010 repack (based on Code65536's release; modified by user_hidden)

Notes

Bootleg quirks

  • In the System Properties where it says "Powered by...", it is supposed to be "Powered by DMS&Tomecar", but due to a quirk with Windows, it instead says "Powered by DMSTomecar". The ampersand is used for menu access keys. In order for it to be displayed properly, the author would have had to escape it by writing a double ampersand. It would then be interpreted as just a regular ampersand.
  • This bootleg comes with WineD3D and DirectX 9 drivers, both as a setup hotfix and dropped files to system32.
  • The Internet Explorer title is set to "[Insira o texto aqui]". The person who integrated these registry tweaks clearly forgot to configure that first.

CD contents and other info

  • The autorun is removed.
  • The CD label is set to "EXTREME_GAMING".
