Burn a CD of the game. How does TinkerTool help you move files from one computer to another?

Oh, I see! You're using TinkerTool to show hidden files.

Try looking on the software restore thing. Maybe you got a single DVD instead of multiple CDs - in either case it should be kept in the software restore section and it should be in a folder titled ".images." At least, last time I did something like that, that's where they kept it.

You can't just copy the game folder over? Does it not work?

If you can take the iBook to work with you this would be easiest. Go into system preferences after you connect them via ethernet and grab the IP address for each then go in the finder select go in the menu bar and select connect to srever. After you do that you will be prompted to login. Login as the main user for the iBook you are trying to get into and then just go to the location of the game and drag it into your iBook. It will copy it to your hard drive. Make sure firewalls are off and apple talk is on and it will work fine.

Also if you are trying to burn a disc you would have to make an .img of the file then burn it as master in disk utility. This does not work for all games. works great for wcIII.
Bless those that sacrifice for us all.
