Whenever I want to go from v5.60 to v6.21, I make a copy of v5.60 Stevefire.mdb and replace it with my last saved v6.21 Stevefire.mdb. Then I grab Aurora.exe from the zip download of v6.21 and make it the active version.
The active Aurora.exe is not modified and remains identical to whatever you last copied there.

All you have to do id copy the complete folder into a new folder and then rename and create a new link to the exe file with a different name on the link. ie game 1, game 2.

Given that updates usually only involve a new aurora.exe and Stevefire.mdb, I don´t see a reason why it should _not_ work.

I've been running Aurora 5.54 for a while, but recently decided I'd love to update and start a new game.
Problem is... I'm still pretty attached to my old game and I'd love to be able to go back to it.
Installation is a bit complicated for me anyway, but I'm wondering if there's a way I might go about it that would leave me with my old 5.54 game in one place and an updated version in another place.
Don't worry - I don't have high hopes... but if anyone has a solution they'd like to share in simple terms, I'd just love it.
