Thanks so much!
I know this is a lot to ask but would you mind putting a step by step instruction to play Nasomi and Eden?
Im using a mac but Boot to switch it to PC
Please!

I thought about putting a guide up, but I felt like it might be seen as encouraging players to try the "competition".
It is pretty simple really, it is just something that needs to be done every time very time you make the switch (play on Eden or retail after playing on Nasomi, or vice-versa).
I made myself and successfully tested a .bat that does the appropriate commands and then launches the appropriate Ashita.
This would be for Nasomi after playing on Eden:
Code:
@ECHO OFF
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\PlayOnlineUS\InstallFolder /v 0001 /t REG_SZ /d "E:\Games\NasomiXI\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI" /f
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\PlayOnlineUS\InstallFolder /v 0002 /t REG_SZ /d "E:\Games\NasomiXI\SquareEnix\TetraMaster" /f
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\PlayOnlineUS\InstallFolder /v 1000 /t REG_SZ /d "E:\Games\NasomiXI\SquareEnix\PlayOnlineViewer" /f
regsvr32 /u /s "E:\Games\EdenFFXI\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI\FFXi.dll"
regsvr32 /u /s "E:\Games\EdenFFXI\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI\FFXiMain.dll"
regsvr32 /s "E:\Games\NasomiXI\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI\FFXi.dll"
regsvr32 /s "E:\Games\NasomiXI\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI\FFXiMain.dll"
CD /D E:\Games\NasomiXI\SquareEnix\Ashita
start Ashita.exe --noupdate
exit
and this is for the reverse:
Code:
@ECHO OFF
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\PlayOnlineUS\InstallFolder /v 0001 /t REG_SZ /d "E:\Games\EdenFFXI\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI" /f
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\PlayOnlineUS\InstallFolder /v 0002 /t REG_SZ /d "E:\Games\EdenFFXI\SquareEnix\TetraMaster" /f
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\PlayOnlineUS\InstallFolder /v 1000 /t REG_SZ /d "E:\Games\EdenFFXI\SquareEnix\PlayOnlineViewer" /f
regsvr32 /u /s "E:\Games\NasomiXI\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI\FFXi.dll"
regsvr32 /u /s "E:\Games\NasomiXI\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI\FFXiMain.dll"
regsvr32 /s "E:\Games\EdenFFXI\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI\FFXi.dll"
regsvr32 /s "E:\Games\EdenFFXI\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI\FFXiMain.dll"
CD /D E:\Games\EdenFFXI\Ashita
start Ashita.exe
exit
Other than changing the paths to be appropriate for wherever the games are installed, this should work. It really is overkill since doing this every time the game is launched shouldn't be necessary though unless someone is actively switching back and forth between the two...and let's face it, just one instance of FFXI is waaaaaay more than enough of a time sink. It can be helpful at least for those who are just curious to try Nasomi, Eden, or Retail though.
Another thing to note: I'm pretty sure playing on both simultaneously from the same PC is not possible. I think it would be if there weren't differences in the game files (in which case none of this nonsense would be necessary anyways), but if changing the DLLs mid game didn't crash it, I'm sure UAC would. I wouldn't recommend trying to get both working at the same time since for at least one of the servers, Retail, Eden, or Nasomi, it would involve using game files that were not part of their installation.
