1. Mount the ISOs as you would for any other game.
2. Download and Install Phoenix (the version number is important. Get it here; hotfile.com/dl/81180036/1619c49/Phoenix_14beta7.rar.html).
3. Go to Instruments/Update ContentDescriptionRecord/Internet
The Phoenix program will now update its database.
4. Under the 'instruments' tab in Phoenix, find the SID-unpacker. Load the ISO first iso that you mounted. Click 'scam a SIM file, and select the only available one. This will load the .ncf file list. Tick off all files apart from forgeign languages (unless you'd prefer them), i.e. exe.ncf, data.ncf, etc, PLUS English.ncf. Set the destination folder to the place you'd like the game to end up in (changing this later on, by moving the game, may cause undesired results, so get it right the first time!)
5. Phoenix will go through the first ISO, extracting its files. When it asks for the second SIM file, direct it to the OTHER ISO, and load its SIM file like you did with the first. When the program has finished with that disk as well, your extraction is complete.
6. Run the original crack, which is located at;
http://www.filesonic.com/file/247286174OR
http://www.duckload.com/dl/zIJD2OR
http://www.fileserve.com/file/GsjzeJj/crac...EPIDEMZ.NET.rarAnd run this file, setting its destination to the folder into which you extracted the earlier files, from the ISOs.
7. To allow the next crack to function properly, navigate to the game's folder, and delete;
Shogun2.dll
Shogun2.###
Steam_appid.txt
Steamclient.dll
(This is done so that the new crack does not run into trouble trying to overwrite these files).
8. Download the V1 crack, located at
http://www.fileserve.com/file/dBcWpv8. Place this file into the game's folder, and run it.
9. Although it is in Chinese, and I don't speak it (you might), you must select the top-left button (the left of the two big rectangles). This will only work if the crack file is in the game's folder.A pop-up will appear afterwards. It is asking if you wish to run the game. It will also open a Chinese website. Ignore this.
10. Run the game using 'Shogun2.###'.
