What virtual CD/DVD programs work with simcity 4?
simcityerr posted a topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues
I'd like to play the game without having to insert the physical CD. Right now I'm using a program called Gizmo. I mount the virtual disc in virtual drive K, and the screen comes up I hit play and absolutely nothing happens, it doesn't start. -
What was your favorite non-SimCity Maxis Sim game? (Besides The Sims)

Simlife is a lot like simearth, except more complicated, has a steeper learning curve than Simcity 4. -
At least for now, we'll be able to modify the weather at least soon. Unless you're talking about natural physical laws, no we can't change those.

Hmm, only machine code, like in what- the 20's when they use vacuum tubes? Some reasons higher level languages were created were making it easier/simpler, and the fact that just one little mistake of typing a 0 or 1 will change the whole program.

That's because the copyright expires. The copyright will eventually expire on SC4, but the license agreement does not. So unless EA changes the license agreement, it will never be legal to disassemble the source code. The license agreement actually covers everything the copyright does and more, so expiration of the copyright will have no practical effect. And that also is true! Our only hope is that EA and Maxis go boom and disappear in a big cloud of smoke. The game will then be considered abandonware :kitty: I think abandonware is still technically illegal to download and use. Also, usually when a company goes out of business their assets and rights are bought by another company.

I really want that game also, it looks so interesting, I have been wanting to get it off E-bay or something for a while. Hmm, not sure it will play on any windows version, it was designed for DOS. -

that is a dead link as well. No, it's not. I have checked the link when I posted it, and the download is perfectly okay. You read the big fat message that said "Sign in to download", right? On this page? https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=15455.0 I don't see such a message. Edit- my mistake. I didn't know there was a delay before it loads the page, the "Can not find page" while the countdown is in the top right corner, is quit deceptive. -

If you just follow the links, you will end up here. that is a dead link as well. -
I wonder, after a long time books become public domain, does the same ever happen with software, so eventually it will be legal to disassemble the source code?

Would any of you like to see any remakes of any of the other simgames, like a Simearth 2, or a Simlife 2? I'm be all for a simearth remake. -
How far away will people travel to work?
simcityerr replied to simcityerr's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
Since my recreation of Chicago is as faithful as I can make it, I just try to build whatever is in the real city. I meant in general, for the game. In this case, I mean, I guess getting lower EQ sims jobs without dirty industry. -

Know where I could download SC4 Mapper 2013, the page below's download link is a dead link. https://www.simtropolis.com/news/_/general-gaming-news/sc4mapper-2013-version-r314 -

What's your alternative/alternatives to dirty industry then? -
Why isn't it? What's the difference between that and decompiling, exactly? Assembler code? You mean assembly code? The assembly programming language?

I'll have to take a look at some of these, are there any that bring back things from past games into SC4, like arcologies, the other power plants, the nuclear fusion power plant (the hydrogen power plant is not the same thing) microwave plant, hydroelectric plant. A geothermal, matter-anti matter annihilation power plant, and quantum zero-point energy power plants would be cool as well. Or, something which lets you make a solar plant as large as you want- as many solar panels as you'd like
