How to Transfer Diamond Mind Baseball to a New Computer

Overview

You can easily transfer your Diamond Mind Baseball software to a new computer using your original installation files. There is no limit to how many times you can install the game or season databases for personal use on different computers.

Important: Understanding Download Links

Download links are not permanent or unlimited. Each download link provided with your order is unique to that specific order and permits a one-time download with limited error tolerance for browser issues or download problems. This is why backing up your installation files is essential.

What You'll Need

Before transferring to your new computer, locate these files on your old computer:

• Game software: dmb12setup.exe (the Diamond Mind Baseball application installer)
• Season databases: Files with .alt extension (examples: dps2024_v12.alt, agt1_v11.alt)

These files should be stored on your old computer or wherever you keep your backup files.

Step 1: Transfer Files to Your New Computer

Copy your installation files from your old computer to your new computer using any of these methods:

• Portable hard drive
• USB memory stick
• Online file storage service (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc.)
• Network file sharing

Simply copy the files to an easily accessible location on your new computer, such as your Desktop or Downloads folder.

Step 2: Install the Game Software

1. Locate the game installer (dmb12setup.exe) on your new computer
2. Double-click the file to launch the DMB installation wizard
3. Follow all installation instructions completely to avoid problems during and after installation

• Test your backups periodically to ensure files are intact

What to Back Up

• Game installation file: dmb12setup.exe
