The (new) location to change is at 0x000206C4 (it is the same location as in Messenger 6.1.0202)...

There are two TAB-services available now (including one with extra games!):

The first one is the one by Jared_ (who is currently developping the ability to add/remove tabs), more can be found here: http://msntabs.ausmade.net/.
To use this service, you have to go to location 0x000206C4 and change
http://config.messenger.msn.com/Config/MsgrConfig.asmx
into
http://msntabs.ausmade.net/MsgrConfig.asmx############
(where # is a 0-byte thus 0x00)

Doodle's patch does exactly that...
and Rolando's patch does exactly that... (this patch should also work for other 6.1.x versions)
(The tabs you get: MSN Alerts, Neowin, MsgPlus, MSNFanatic, Triople-Extended... )
(NOTE: CURRENTLY THIS SERVICE SEEMS TO BE DOWN)


The second service is the one by Koen, more can be found here: http://games.mess.be/.
To use this service, you have to go to location 0x000206C4 and change
http://config.messenger.msn.com/Config/MsgrConfig.asmx
into
http://appdirectory.brinkster.net/Conf/MsgrConf.asmx?T

Koen's patch does exactly that...
(The tabs you get: MSN Alerts, MSN GSM, MSN Entertainment, Neowin, MsgPlus, MSNFanatic, Triople-Extended... This patch will also enable the extra games!!!)


------------------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT
If you're not  experienced with patching & hex-editing then use:
Doodle's patch for enabling Jared's service...
or use:
Koen's patch for enabling Koen's service (including extra games)...

For more info (including questions you may have) about patching, see "TABS in MSN v6.1.0202 (How-To)"...

To patch a file yourself, you must be very experienced and you must know exactly what you're doing...

CLOSE messenger completly before applying the patch (this goes also for ANY patch you use)! And remember these patches are ONLY for MSN Messenger 6.1.0202 or 6.1.0203...

is it possible to have the extra games and the custom tabs patched at the same time (the url of the config seems to be at the same location )?

I don't have a games-patch to try this out...

can sum1 plz just make a new patch? cos im a complete dipshit and hav no idea wat im doing

thats not for us. thats for _jared. he made it.

Whenever I find a games-patch I'll see what the problem is why you can't have tabs and the extra games at the same time....

i looked at the location with winhex... the extra games config file is in the same location where the custom tabs r supposed to go, so it overwrites it and the custom tabs disappear

Well, there you go, I thought it would... same service

btw, Jared (the programmer of the custom tabs) said that in the new version it will be possible to have both patched

I've made a patch for MSN Messenger 6.1.0203, to enable the custom tabs (you lazy bums )

It is attached. enjoy
