64 BIT reg file for black ops (Made by Sentroy) If you have a 64 bit system, this is the registry file to register black ops. i have not tested it yet but i was told it would help out the 64bit users with problems.
If you still have problems, double check that you have removed the russian folder and files from step 9

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/d ... laylang=enThe first step after downloading is make sure your files are extracted.
1. If you have a bunch of rar files, extract with winrar or winzip etc.if you have an mdf and mds file,perfect! skip to step 2
(you should end up with a mdf and an mds file either way)
2. using magiciso, poweriso, or a similar program, open the mdf file, and extract all files inside to a folder of your choice ( this is not where the game will end up so exract where ever youd like to work from)
a. You should have around 19 files including sid files and a sim file,among others, and a resources folder containing more files.
3. Create a Black Ops folder wherever you intend on installing the game (do not create in your steam directory for safety purposes (dont want to get your steam acct banned!)
4.run Pheonix 1.4, then
a. select the instruments pulldown menu from the menubar and select the 'SID unpacker' tool.
b. click the ... next to where it says sim-file to browse for the sim file, callofduty-blackopscd1.SIM , which is located wherever you extracted the files from the mdf( game disc) in step 2 to(the 19 or so files with the resources folder)
1)select callofduty-blackopscd1.SIM and click the 'open' button (you should now see the path to this file written in the previously blank spot next to where it says SIM-file on the SID unpacker pheonix page)
c. click the ... next to where is says Desination folder to browse to your Black Ops folder that we created in step 3.
1)Select Black Ops directory and click 'ok' (you should now see the path to this written in the previously blank spot next to where it says Destination folder on the SIDunpacker page in pheonix)
d. from the instruments pulldown menubar at the top of the program, select updatecontentdescriptionrecord->Internet (must be connected to internet)
1)wait for the program to connect to its download site and update the contentdescriptionrecord.
e. click the 'Scan a SIM-file' button ( you should see several lines of text appear)
f. click the 'Select all' button ( it automatically should select two files, callofdutyblackopscontent.ncf and callofdutyblackopsrussian.ncf)
g. click 'unpack' button ( it will start unpacking all files to the blackops directory
1) this will take anywhere from 5-20 minutes depending on your computer

(if there are any errors with pheonix you might have had another version already installed, or it may have not installed correctly.Reinstall and that should fix it(right click and run as administrator for win7 and vista) restart and reinstall if you still get an error)
5. You now have your black ops folder filled with files and folders, but it still needs to be cracked, added to the registry, and changed to english.
6. If your COD BO crack is zipped, unzip or unrar it. (there should be 9 files and 2 folders in the main directory of the crack, including a black ops.reg file, among others)
a. select all files in the crack directory and copy/cut them
b. open the Black ops folder( your game directory from step 3) and paste(copy/merge) the files/folders there, overwriting any files/folders that it asks
******* I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS NEXT STEP IS NOT NESSESARY, and that people have gotten it working without adding it to the registry. Your choice i guess
7. inside of the black ops directory, locate and execute(run) the black ops.reg file. If it asks you to approve of it adding the values to the registry, press ok/yes.
********* If you have 64 bit, get the 64 bit reg file and try it****
8. You now have a cracked game that is registered and can be played, but it will be in russian!Proceed to the next step if youd like to continue converting it to English
9. Before converting the files to english from russian, we first need to delete a few files.
a. goto the Black ops directory (created step 3) and open the 'main' folder
b. locate and delete these files -
localized_Russian_iw00.iwd
localized_Russian_iw01.iwd
localized_Russian_iw02.iwd
localized_Russian_iw03.iwd
localized_Russian_iw04.iwd
localized_Russian_iw05.iwd
c. Then return to the black ops folder, and open the 'zone' folder
1)select the 'Russian' folder and delete it (the whole folder)
10.Now locate the codborussiantoenglish.exe and extract to a directory of your choice (only temporary)
a. rightclick and choose extract if you have winrar or
double click the exe to run it and extract the files;
1) click accept
2) click 'browse', choose a directory to temporarily extract the files to, then click ok
3)click install to extract all the files to that temp directory you just selected
b. locate the files you just extracted or installed from codborussiantoenglish.exe and copy them to the black ops main directory;
1)open the 'call of duty black ops' folder, select all the files inside(two files and two folders) and copy/cut
2)then open the 'black ops' game folder (created step 3) right click and paste(copy) the files, overwriting and merging any files/folders it asks you to
11. Play
OPTIONAL STEP - Get rid of russian audio from the cutscenes
Finally if you want to change the audio from the cutscene videos from russian to english here are the video files from the SKIDROW release of COD Black Ops. These are ONLY the videos and they are in ENGLISH Just replace the Russian videos with these. Extract into your "main/video" folder.

*** If you are having problems, make sure you have updated graphics drivers, directx files, vc2005,2008 runtimes etc. Also, its been said that its more stable/ fixes problems if you install the skidrow crack after completing all of the above steps. good luck! ***
