Hi all
Returning player after a long hiatus
anyhow, I follow the instructions as best I could from the site forum post, though might of skim read here an there:
GETTING STARTED
So you've decided that you want to play on the tour. Here's how...
1. You need a copy of Links 2001 or Links 2003. Links 2001 is no longer readily available but you might be able to find it on CD on places like Ebay or Amazon.com. That same goes for the CD version of Links 2003. However, you can get the download version of Links 2003.
Original LS discs,loaded an done
2. Your version of Links 2001 or Links 2003 needs to be the correct version. See Patching Links for more information.

Installing:
Two read errors skipped on installing
Anyways the first file was: skynet.lib (skipped)
Heres the second https://i.imgur.com/2Uf27Ah.png
I'm trying to install the game from the original LS disc, the above is the second attempt before skipping** the file to proceed to the next segment in the install.
I've skipped it to see what happens (so far so good)
Disc 2 loaded an complete, Disc 1 inserted
Download patchs
Was there every a no cd patch created?
Download Now (452KB)
I'll assume with the above download that this file needs to be place into or inside the links folder an the overwritten ?
*final testing game*
Tested the game, everything seems to be ok
hopefully everything runs smooth when play (cough) of course it will!
course/s loading
ok question/s, I have several course disc
One is an original:
LS Links Champion Courses
3 other disc with courses
one disc with 2001 courses
one disc with 2k courses
The complete LS 99 disc an course disc
I seem to recall some of the above might need converting?
I also seem to recall that course can be loaded to a different directory so as not to load up the links folder?
If not will all the above course load or not? (I'm assuming 90% at least)
