To transfer the game, installed team
files and all accumulated replay games and statistics to a new computer,
follow these instructions, depending upon the version of the game you are
using. Read the complete instructions for your version before starting
this process.
For Versions 2010, 2011 & 2012
To transfer the game, installed team
files and all accumulated replay games and statistics to a new computer,
follow these instructions
-
Install the complete game onto your NEW
computer from the Official Game CD or Official Download file. You must
install the complete game and not just an upgrade or update. If you
attempt to install an upgrade or update onto your new computer, without
the complete game being installed first, the upgrade or update will fail.
If you no longer have the Official Download file, you can download it
again using the same instructions that were sent to you when you
ordered the game. If you no longer have those instructions, send an
e-mail message, with your name and address and the game you want to
download again to
support@cactusdevelopment.com.
Redownload instructions can be sent to you for Version 2012 only.
This redownload feature is not available for previous versions.
-
After successfully installing the complete game
on your NEW computer, you will be given an opportunity to install your seasons.
Install all of them from the Official CDs, Team Disks, or ZIP files.
-
After successful installation of the
complete game and seasons on your NEW computer, click "Free Game Updates" from The Access
System to download and
install the latest free game update.
-
Now you can copy the Season
directories and files from your OLD computer to your NEW computer. You
must install each season from the Official CD, Team Disk or Zip file
first, BEFORE you can copy the stats/data from the OLD computer to the
NEW computer.
For Versions 2010, 2011 & 2012
-
You must find the folder where your
Game Data is saved on your OLD computer and your NEW computer. The
location depends upon the version of Windows you are using and your
operating system's configuration. It will probably be something like
this:
C:\Users\Your
Name\AppData\Roaming\Cactus League Games\Cactus League College
Basketball
-
Substitute your name, above, for
"Your Name." This folder may be hidden by your operating system. Refer
to your Operating System's help file for instructions to unhide
files/folders and to search for a folder on your computer.
-
When you find this folder on your OLD
computer, you will see several folders for each of your installed
seasons. You must copy all of the folders (and the files within) from
the OLD computer to the proper location on the NEW computer.
-
When properly copied to the NEW
computer (assuming you have installed the season properly on the NEW
computer) you will see all of your teams, rosters, schedules,
statistics, etc. from the OLD computer. Once you are certain you have
copied properly, delete files and folder from the OLD computer.
-
Follow the same procedure to find
where the season should be copied to on your NEW computer. Assuming you
have installed the season from the Original CD, Team Disk or ZIP file,
your season will be identical to your OLD computer after you copy this
season directory to your NEW computer.
-
Repeat this process for each installed
season.
-
If you ordered "Download
Only" when you bought the complete game, you will be prompted to
apply for a Registration Code the first time you run the game on your
new computer. Keep in mind that, as indicated on the Cactus
League College Basketball Information & FAQ page,
you are entitled to two Registration Codes when purchasing
"Download Only." If you will exceed that number with this
installation, you will be required to purchase an additional code or
upgrade to the CD version. We recommend that you upgrade to the CD,
which will allow you to install the game on all of your computers
without a Registration Code. When you upgrade to the CD you will be
able to obtain your new Registration Code right away, so you can play
while you wait for the CD to be shipped to you. You can upgrade
to the CD now.
Version 2009, or earlier
-
Install the complete game onto your NEW
computer from the Official Game CD or Official Download file. You must
install the complete game and not just an upgrade or update. If you
attempt to install an upgrade or update onto your new computer, without
the complete game being installed first, the upgrade or update will fail.
If you no longer have the Official Download file, you can download it
again using the same instructions that were sent to you when you
ordered the game. If you no longer have those instructions, send an
e-mail message, with your name and address and the game you want to
download again to resendinstructions@cactusdevelopment.com.
-
After successfully installing the complete game
on your NEW computer, you will be given an opportunity to install your seasons.
Install all of them from the Official CDs, Team Disks, or ZIP files.
-
After successful installation of the
complete game and seasons, run the AutoGame Update Module to download and
install the latest game update.
-
Then, you can copy the Season
directories and files from your OLD computer to your NEW computer. You
must install each season from the Official CD, Team Disk or Zip file
first, before you can copy the stats/data from the OLD computer to the
NEW computer. On your
OLD computer, find your Game Directory, which, if you installed the game
into the default directory will be:
C:\Program Files\Cactus\Cactus League
College Basketball\
On your OLD computer there will be
subdirectories, in the Game Directory, for each of your installed seasons.
For example, if the 2002-03 season is completely installed, you will find these
directories in C:\Program Files\Cactus\Cactus League College Basketball:
C:\Program Files\Cactus\Cactus League
College Basketball\2002-03
C:\Program Files\Cactus\Cactus League College Basketball\2002-03a
C:\Program Files\Cactus\Cactus League College Basketball\2002-03b
C:\Program Files\Cactus\Cactus League College Basketball\2002-03c
C:\Program Files\Cactus\Cactus League College Basketball\2002-03d
C:\Program Files\Cactus\Cactus League College Basketball\2002-03e
C:\Program Files\Cactus\Cactus League College Basketball\2002-03f
Copy each of these directories and all files and directories in
each to the same location on your
NEW computer. Be sure to copy all subdirectories and files in each of the
directories above.
There are many levels with many files in each level. If you do not copy
all of the files and directories,
the 2002-03 season many not operate properly on your NEW computer.
-
Repeat this process for each installed
season.
-
If you ordered "Download
Only" when you bought the complete game, you will be prompted to
apply for a Registration Code the first time you run the game on your
new computer. Keep in mind that, as indicated on the Cactus
League College Basketball Information & FAQ page,
you are entitled to two Registration Codes when purchasing
"Download Only." If you will exceed that number with this
installation, you will be required to purchase an additional code or
upgrade to the CD version. We recommend that you upgrade to the CD,
which will allow you to install the game on all of your computers
without a Registration Code. When you upgrade to the CD you will be
able to obtain your new Registration Code right away, so you can play
while you wait for the CD to be shipped to you. You can upgrade
to the CD now.
