how to play this game? installed fine but it ask for activation when booting up game? inputted id but it says not found, please help.

It's been eight years to the day since shinstellar posted his question, but I'm still looking for an answer :) Is there a crack or code for this game somewhere? I haven't been able to find any, but figure there has to be one out there somewhere. If anyone has any ideas, has the crack or can point me to a download I would appreciate it. Thank you!

I think I might have found the problem, but I am not sure how to fix it. It seems that 1/2 of the crack is included in the download. _8c0a495a.exe is there, but from all I have read you need the other half 8c0a495a.exe, to execute the crack. I've tried the suggestions for finding it (showing hidden folders and removing protection hiding protected operating system files. Apparently this allowed 8c0a495a.exe to be found if I am reading things right (granted sites are in Japanese which I don't speak much of and Korean which might as well be an alien language to me). I don't know if any of the other links is even working but maybe I will try a different download and see if 8c is included. Other ideas are appreciated. And yes I download so many games because I am a nerd and like getting older games working more than playing them :)
