Please god someone ban these idiots....
1) THE ONLY RELEASE COMPATIBLE WITH THE EQEMU SERVER IS A DEV RELEASE, MEANING UNCOMPILED SOURCE. YOU MUST HAVE VS.NET OR SIMILAR C++ COMPILER IN ORDER TO COMPILE THE SOURCE.
2) YOU CANNOT PLAY ON EQEMU SERVERS IF YOU HAVE PATCHED SINCE JULY 16 2004.
3) YOU DONT NEED A PROGRAM IN ORDER TO PLAY.
4) If you havent patched though, make your account, the guide is here on forums somewhere under the name NEw Registration Process Also change your eqhost.txt to
Code:
[Loginserver]
eqemulator.net:5997
Create a shortcut to eqgame.exe adding at the end of the target line -patchme.
You're all set.

Unfortunately, just loading the game does not put you at the right a patch, it's too old.
And currently, if you patch to live, your client is too new to play (at the momment)
5.8-DR1 would be out soon which is live compatible.

Hackersquest is COMPLETELY different from EQEMu.

Thanks all for leading me in the right direction but I read the lastest new on the main page and it said that the 5.8 test is out would that be ok to try or should I stay away from that. Also I still haven't found the guide to even get this thing setup could someone help me out please.

Not trying to make you feel unwelcome Tony, nor is anyone else here, but you have to realize that the questions you are asking have been answered MANY times JUST in the last week or so... If you would simply help yourself by doing a search from the link at the top of the page, THEN if you are having problems after following all that is said to do, you will probably find that everyone is a LOT more receptive.... 
Now, to get on to the new test server, you need to probably first patch to live... then after you have done that... do what was mentioned above

Then you need to come back here and go into the news forum and look under the 5.8 beta server (or something to that nature). There you should see what you need to do as far as changing your eqhost.txt file and login account with eqemu...
Hope you get it straightened out.. and have fun..
[edit] Sorry it is called "live compatible login server" that you need to look at...[/edit]

-patchme doesnt work for me, it has to be "eqgame.exe" in quotes, then after just 'patchme' (without apostrophies)

/agree
Some work some don't... Try both methods if the one or the other doesnt work...
If that doesnt work try eqwindows (if it is still up to date, dont know I havent been around for a few months...)

off topic but the reason you need the quotes is becuase of white space in your path to eqgame.exe
i.e
Code:
C:\Program Files\Sony\Everquest\eqgame.exe
the space between Program and Files causes msdos to trunicate (spelled it right <shrug>) the text as if the whitespace was an end line character, so passing it in quotes sends it as a single string. then the patchme after is passed as an arg to the program.

VERY true and good point.. BUT, if everyone followed directions correctly then they wouldnt have to worry about "Program Files" as they would have made a backup directory of EQ.... heh
