WE6FE Backup with patch

Lee Daley · 15-05-2003, 08:03

Does anyone know where I can get backup copies ofWE6FE with the WEDoit3 patch and also The all in one dynamo patch already installed as I don't have a cd writer. I Have WE6FE and its by far the best version of the game but I feel like I am missing out please help!

Buying a copy of WE6:fe is a completely different thing than patching a copy of your own game that you have bought !

Buying a ready patched copy is illegal and shouldn't really be discussed in these forums. You're better off trying to find someone that has the necessary equipment and making a copy of your original and then patch it.

Your copy is an original, isn't it? That way, Konami get more money to spend on making brilliant games for us! I think that the people that made PES and WE deserve to be rewarded!

True creativity and innovation doesn't come cheap!

ever so true

you see, this is kinda not illegal, but complicated all the same. if he owns the game, its not really illegal for him to also own a patched version of it, no matter how he gets it. technically the person selling it is performing an illegal act, but if that person does not actually sell it... and GIVES him it, i don't believe this is illegal. Obviously these kind of things can be got around by making the postage and packaging charge £5 or whatever.

like i say though, if you own a LEGAL copy of the original, then i think you are entitled to own a backup copy with patches on it.... but you can not BUY it off anyone.

That sounds fair.

Why not buy a cd writer? I got a new one for like £30/35, then you could produce as many different versions of the game as you like, much easier and not as restricting as getting someone to send you a copy.

that makes sense.

(i'm contributing so much here....)

Thanks for your imput. I am fully aware of licensing laws etc, and I own the original game as bought of ebay 17 April 2003 for £34.00. I will be honest and admit I got the patched version Wedoit1 from a backup company fully aware I owned the original, I only asked because we all have a mutual love of this beautiful game But can I ask or is it me being total out but have all you just had you machine chipped to play imports and bought cd writers to save word processing files and burn patches?

Most PCs these days come with CD-writers as standard.
I'd had chipping done to be able to experience and enjoy WE6:FE.

Fair enough, There are some people with scruples myself and yourself included, but I bet we are in the minority! (bought PC 3 years ago although accept cd writers are very cheap now) Have been searching e-mail archives for Ebay receipt to show I am genuine does anyone know if you can order these from ebay?
