MechWarrior 4:  Vengeance w/Update 3
Safedisc 1 copy protection

Made several attempts to get this working but failed.  Nobody else seems to have
ever succeeded either.  Install and updates work without errors but game crashes
immediately.  Mercenaries sequel has similar problems.  Assuming that the copy
protection was part of the problem I used an unwrapper to get the real
executable and tried it also.  I am attaching the terminal output and the
reports from the game's crash reporter.
