Hi Death Knight, I forgot to express my gratitude some time ago as your method worked on older PopCap Games. However, is there a way to get BookWorm Adventures: Volume 2 to get working? It appears as more of a complicated case since its exe only appears when the game launches. But I did change the location of popgame1 in BW Vol. 2, and this still didn’t work. Do you have any advice on newer PopCap games? Thanks so much!
Well I would try going to C:\Program Files (x86)\PopCap Games\Bookworm Adventures Vol. 2\properties (if that's where you have installed it) and edit partner.xml with notepad AND IF there is a NoReg value set to "True", change it to "False"else you can contact me on discord: itsdeathknight
It "works", but you get to a certain point in PvZ (unlocking Garlic) and it starts saying "Only Available in Full Version" and wont let you select any of these plants
@@TheDeathKnightwould you know how to modify it? The properties xml currently says StageLocked. Im assuming the signature file will need to be modified as well. All in all, I’m not worried, just curious. I own the goty version on steam and I’ve used Goldberg emu, so I can play it anywhere anyway.
the exe becomes removed in the installation folder once i terminated it in the task manager. the exe shows when it is running but i cant copy it to another destination because it says the folder is being used by another program. any solutions to this?
Hello, I tried to download Escape from Rosecliff Island (PopCap Version) and when I loaded the game, the screen is altered and I can't use my mouse. Is there a way to fix this? TIA
I just tried doing the trick with Escape from Rosecliff Island's Demo from Steam (store.steampowered.com/app/3600/Escape_Rosecliff_Island/) and it worked for me. I don't know if this will work but you can try these methods: 1. Change the Compatibility Mode to Windows XP or 7 when you right click the game's exe -> Properties -> Compatibility tab 2. In the program's folder (the installed location), there should be a file called config.txt and you can try changing fullscreen=true to fullscreen=false
It's in the task manager. Make sure you have the task manager in detailed view (there's a view where it shows few applications and nothing else and then there's the full view with a lot applications and details). If you still can't find it, you can contact me on discord
Oh yeah, turns out there are some exceptions sadly like PvZ and Peggle Nights which have some special DRM, I'll need to change the title from any to most now 😅
As long as you can see a trial screen similar to what is shown on mine (trial from popcap games, not from stores like big fish games, reflexive arcade, etc) and follow the instructions, it should work
Yep, it still works. I tried it with Zuma's Revenge too lol. Thank you.
hello can i ask how to install the popcan game
Boooom! worked, just show hidden files before you proceed , and after all hide them back, if rename through [properties] failed, just rename normally
As someone that wants to play PopCap’s delisted games on Steam without paying a pretty penny - thank you!
Am enjoying watching this fr
This video is so nostalgic. Feels like 2007 again.
Haha yeah it's a modernized version of old youtube tutorials
This is on point thanks
It worked men surely u earn a sub
Can't finish my Peggle nights because of free trial, thanks for this! Please don't remove this video cuz I don't have the time for a while
Nice. Working since I have show Hidden files. Thanks
Thank you its still works

I think BookWorm Adventures: Volume 2 Trial 60 Minutes works
TheDeathKnight tried doing this for Chuzzle Deluxe, it gave me an error message that reads, "Invalid partner properties signature!"
It "works", but you get to a certain point in PvZ (unlocking Garlic) and it starts saying "Only Available in Full Version" and wont let you select any of these plants
I think PvZ uses another version of the DRM but iirc there's a properties file which has the option to change trial to full version

@@shanerogers3869 Currently busy with some irl stuff and haven't touched this in years so if I do have free time, I might try to figure it out
@@TheDeathKnightno stress hey. As mentioned, it’s just a curiosity hey.
thank you
it was successful
4/9/2024 and it still works lmao

i performed Every step as you said!
the exe becomes removed in the installation folder once i terminated it in the task manager. the exe shows when it is running but i cant copy it to another destination because it says the folder is being used by another program. any solutions to this?
Nice video

@@TheDeathKnight Oh okay, thanks so much!
What do i do if I can't find popcapgames1.exe in the task bar?
It's in the task manager. Make sure you have the task manager in detailed view (there's a view where it shows few applications and nothing else and then there's the full view with a lot applications and details). If you still can't find it, you can contact me on discord
Don't go yet. I need you. I have to try it. I've been trying for hours.
@@TheDeathKnight i still can't find it.
what if the trial is over, can you still do this?
You might need to reinstall then as you need the exe to appear
Ok and how to make the full version to to the 1 hour trial ?
If you didn't delete the original exe, you can just replace it else reinstall
After I covert any popcap trial to full version can I still open it using steam?
Yeah, you can launch it from steam
@@TheDeathKnight So, I just hit the green play button in its steam library page? Which means I don't need to reset the game's directory?
@@MattTheCat47 Yep, if you press the play button, it should launch the game without showing the trial pop up
@@TheDeathKnight thanks man 👍

Did you enable show hidden items?
How to enable it
