Question I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but...

Hi all, hope you can help or direct me to the right spot. I play my games through real arcade. On my new build, I have several drives. On one of the drives, I made a partition for just my games. When I went to re-download the games I purchased through real arcade, I wanted to load it to my "g" drive. It automatically loads to my "C". When I moved the file to my g, then went back to the real arcade site, to play the game, it said game not installed. How can I change the real arcade path to load to my g and not my c.

Thanks for your help

You may not be able to, some programs install on 'C' period.
There are hacks that can (correct) change that but how comfortable are you with altering the registry?
It may not work but if you don't mind a potential reinstall, the save/restore registry function isn't foolproof, it's worth a try.

Thanks for the help Pam. However, it turned out to be easier than I thought. Which teaches me to check the menu. In Real Arcade, you can go to menu (very discreetly placed) and in menu, select preferences, then change where the the games are downloaded and installed.

Thanks
