This is a patch made by me (i dont know where other credit should be avaliable  ) and it will patch ALL versions of the MSN 6 beta!! (even the ones that arent released yet!)

It will:

* Remove the 2 ad banners (main window and phone window)
* Remove the (BETA) from the title bar
* Give access to all of the games (once ConfigCache.xml is edited)
* Allow Polygamy!

the reason this works (and will work for all of the future versions) is because it doesnt just make 1 file into another (patched version) it searches for the string that (for example) makes the ad show up (it could be anywhere in the program) and then it replaces the hex values it finds, with the ones i told it too!

This patch will also work on 'already-patched' versions! if you have removed the ad already, you can still use this patch to remove the beta, ad the games & do polygamy

Enjoy

WHOO HOO
thank u

No problem, to edit configcache.xml:

5.) Applying the MSN 6 Game Fix:
    Make sure MSN 6 is installed
    Log in
    Try the Launch Site button in an msn conversation, if it works congratulations if not, read the next step
    Exit MSN completely
   
Now follow the instructions for your windows version.

i.) Windows 9x
*Includes Windows ME*
    If using Windows profiles:

    Go to C:\WINDOWS\Profiles\(your username)\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger\(your email)
    There should be a file called configcache.xml there, open it.

Find this:
        <AppDirPageURL>
           
        </AppDirPageURL>

change the URL inbetween those tags to:
http://appdirectory.messenger.msn-int.com/AppDire...ctory.aspx?L=en-US

Repeat this process with all the emails you wish games to work with.
    Login to MSN

    If NOT using Windows profiles:
    Go to C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger\(your email)
    There should be a file called configcache.xml there, open it.

Find this:
        <AppDirPageURL>
           
        </AppDirPageURL>

change the URL inbetween those tags to:
http://appdirectory.messenger.msn-int.com/AppDire...ctory.aspx?L=en-US

    Repeat this process with all the emails you wish games to work with.
    Login to MSN

ii.) Windows XP
     
     Go to C:\Documents and Settings\(your username)\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger\(your email)
     There should be a file called configcache.xml there, open it.

Find this:
        <AppDirPageURL>
           
        </AppDirPageURL>

change the URL inbetween those tags to:
http://appdirectory.messenger.msn-int.com/AppDire...ctory.aspx?L=en-US

     Repeat this process with all the emails you wish games to work with.
     Login to MSN

if you are using a newer version of msn 6, it is not (your email), it is a random number.

windows ME, that come under 9x?

yea

thnx agen

no problem,

edited the configcache instructions, just telling you, so burners doesn't look stupid, asking if win me is counted as win9x as it says it there now

yeah thanks a bunch....

EDIT:
oh yeah get ya now ive read it a few times, i dont look stupid, i thort u wer being sarcastic lol

And I guess NT4/2000/2003 Server go under Windows XP....

Another remark about enabling the games: In the recently leaked build 0256, the directory where you can find the ConfigCache.xml file is NOT your E-mail address (.NET Passport), but some random number. I don't know why they added these random number directories, they're weird.


Anyway, cheers to Mikey from Neowin!

said that "if you are using a newer version of msn 6, it is not (your email), it is a random number."

all the way at the bottom of my huge enable games instructions

but thanks

Oh........... right, sorry.

Anycow, I noticed another thingie.... the advertizement banner in the Phone window does not get removed in build 0256. They must have changed the code that includes this banner....
Hey Sephy, could you gimme the URL to that Neowin.net page where he announced this patch? I wanna report this issue.

too slow, already posted, but heres the url anyway:

http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?s=912c4278f...&f=12&t=83739&st=0

thanks a lot for the patch, I like all in one patch
One question:
after installing your patch, is it always necessary to modify manually configcache file with 100+ expiration days and us-us parameter to enable launch site button?
If yes, can you add this feature to your patch to make full automated patch without user operations?

Thanks a lot

Salaam,

thankz man

hi can any1 tell me how 2 do it @ win 2000???

enjoy!

thanks a lot

mikezs, personally im sick of all these clones, as you said, people have "stolen" your idea, so..i wish to challenge all the developers with this:

To Developers:
"Can you make a patch which has 'switches', allowing the users to choose which part of the patch they wish to use and which part of the patch they choose to do without?"

If you can then try this too:
"As well as that, can you make it undo the changes? Allowing the users to un-patch their MSN without re-installing MSN? (Follow Heavy_K's example, if you don't know what i mean)"

Anyways, good job developers.
Thanks for your hard work mikezs

To the users: Do you think I am right, when i say what i say?

Regards,
EvilSeph

Here's a suggestion for you.... Get rid of the advertizement banner in the "Phone" window under build 0256, because it doesn't work with that build currently.







BTW, go doodle!!

lol, indeed, clones this, clones that

Try my challenge, no offense has ever been intended

I downloaded your patch ,but there is an error.( see the screenshot)

thats' an error with your comp...
the file msnmgr.exe is the messenger you must have installed it in another place than the default... or changed its name

Does any of these generic patches work with build 0268?

wow, this post is old

hi mikez
can you make updated patch for official msn preview?
Yours is the only that modify configcache.xml so I like it
you can remove games patch in the exe, with the official preview i red it's not necessary anymore, only configcache is needed

I think you can include this update to your patch, all msn 6 patches around the web made the same things... this is not a steal, only a way to make own patch more complete as possible
