Install original SWG from any version of the game discs. It won't work with the trial client or a fully patched up NGE version of the game. Should you ever want to play the live game it will need a separate installation.
Once installed go here

and get launchpad enhanced. Once that's installed it will configure the SWG client to connect to the emulator server.

You should then be good to go.

Heya mate. Good to see you're still alive

I keep trying the EMU, but it just depresses me to think of the fun we all used to have, and the way LA/SOE shafted us. I'm a total wreck emotionally at the moment (little sister getting married/preparing for uni/losing my pension etc), so giving it another go isn't gonna happen for a while.

Have they issued any for of ETA for completion? Last I heard, they had taken out creature handler and were preparing to completely rewrite the class. I think this was around April/May this year.

I'm so bored, I'm currently downloading a Japanese grinder called Dragonsky. You never know - I could get lucky.
