    OK, have you tried putting the discs in your PC yet to see what happens? If not, why not?

    Dependant on your graphics card you may need to install different drivers.

    yer, thats why i was asking cos i couldnt get it to work..
    i think we were jibbed...
    i was kinda confused there were no exe files or anything i think they are ps2 games!!
    some of the files are
    *.umb
    *.elf
    *.ovl

    hopefully somebody can tell what these are for because i was looking forward to playing splinter cell chaos theory and midnight club :p
