Intro:
well as you know sometimes it good to have an older version of EQ (lets say for when you want to play EQemu)

This is how its done easy:
Get a clean install of Titanium (from a store)
Or:
Downlaod this:
ftp://eqftp.station.sony.com/eqtrilogy.exe

Download these two patchs from raidaddicts.org:
KMRA Patch. (you can use both)
Spells File

Run KMRA Patch
And then put the data from Spells File into the folder you made for the Titanium

How to get an emu account
Register an account here:

Register again for the Login Server
Go to your "Usercp"
Select "Create a LS Account"
Fill the info as needed

EQHost File
Change your EQHost.txt
Go into your EverQuest directory
Find the EQHost.txt file.
Make it look like this:
Rich (BB code):
[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5998

Bypassing the patcher
Create a shortcut to launch EverQuest
Done this way:
Locate the EQGAME.EXE file
Right-click
select "Create Shortcut."

When made:
Right-click that shortcut
select Properties.
In the "target box" (where the path to the eqgame.exe file is).
add "patchme" (no quotes).
Rich (BB code):
C:\Program Files\Everquest\eqgame.exe patchme

Now you should be able to play emu, on raid addicts anyway. If not well I'm wrong...

This is still something I'm testing. So let me know if you have any trouble.

Ohh and fell free to redcent me if this helps you.

Tried this as instructed, but you end up with a lot of missing zones. "clz" which appears to be the character creation zone, and "vexthal" which looks to be a RA starting zone.

As I get crash to desktop errors about missing zone files I'm copying the zones over from my EQLive directory, but folks should be aware this may not work exactly as written.

Because you're supposed to patch EQ to live then copy all the files from KMRA patcher to the EQ Live directory. This isn't supposed to download EQ for you, just backpatch it.

Isn't that patching the titanium software, rather than downgrading current EQ software?
