3. To install "NTW3 version 2.0", you don't need the previous "NTW3 version 1.0". All necessary files are included in the 2.0 version.
4. Download the 2 files needed to play NTW 2.0, "Main Pack" and "Map Pack" through the links given above. You can download "Main Pack" from mirror 1, and "Map Pack" from mirror 2 or 3. They are all compatible with one another.
