noob here need help setting this up

[Ginadan]

I just now learned of this emulator for EQ. I have been looking for one for some time now and this one sounds like it might actually be worth figuring out. Only problem is I cant get it to work. I just installed EQ back onto my computer and it has not been patched at all. I updated my eqhost file to read eqlogin.gotfrags.com:5999 instead of what it was originally. And tried running Everquest.exe to log in. However it keeps trying to download a file p.dat, this file keeps screwing up EQ though. Everytime I try to run everquest.exe after patching it says I am missing a file d3d8.dll, I believe this to be for directx 8 but I cant download it atm. Could someone please tell me how to get this program set up and correctly running, so that I may log onto other players servers and perhaps even set up one of my own.
