The Godfather (PC) "cannot locate the DVD-ROM"

[tsi_]

Ok am I the only person experiencing this prob?

I've been searching and either the answer is too obvious or there is something wrong

I have went on to get a 2nd different version of GF and after a clean install I still get the same error when trying to launch the game

"Cannot locate the DVD-ROM
Please insert the correct DVD-ROM, select OK and restart the application"

Is it the original version of the game? Or is it a backup?

Are you running any virtual drives? e.g. Daemon Tools.

[tsi_]

ya its a copy of the "original" i have

it's 3.18gigs
and no i dont have any virtual drives :(
this is really frustrating

[Joe Forster/STA]

Now is it really original or is it not? You see, you cannot make a working backup of a non-original CD/DVD...!

[robo989]

Do you own the original? ;)

[Sam Leach]

Hello, I have the original game but I cant find a crack/image anywere. How can I get it to play with no DVD?

Thanks

[Joe Forster/STA]

Well, be patient until a crack/image becomes available, or create one yourself (for images, see the FAQ; for cracks, well, good luck! :D).

i backup the game with alcohol 1.9.5, install it and i read that someone install anti-blaxx to play the game, so i did that too. after installation i mouth the image to the virtual drive and open anti-blaxx and TATA the game plays perfectly without any problems like "cant get out of cars" or "invert mouse"

[R.D.Rage]

mount your image with daemon tools.you should be ok.tried tested true.

[scorpio_54650]

you tride the no dvd patch from gcw write replace exe and play

[ajay_wilson1]

correct me if im wrong but i thought the crack for the godfather doesnt work. Try mounting a image you made in alcohol or download the maxi image from GCW and mount in the lastest version of deamon tools. That should work. and isnt there a whole thread on the godfather. Try using the forum search next time, you might find all the info you need already on the site

[gurdok]

i made the image, mounted in both alcohol virtual drive and daemon tools... nothing different happens... still the "unexpected error, you have to close" window... (maybe don´t say that, but my windows is in spanish)

i´m desperate... do you think that a working .exe is coming soon??

[RincewindTheWiz]

Gurdok, does the original dvd exit with the same error ? If so, you have a problem with the game itself and should contact the publisher or try the developers' forum.

GCW has a working version No CD Fix now. :D

[ironmad]

with the new noCD/DVD on gcw i have the same error with the older version, when i type in a playername the game crashes "godfather.exe has a problem and bla bla bla". a mini-image works fine! i have the german version!

[TippeX]

I have went on to get a 2nd different version of GF

what is it about that line that really raises my suspicions

[Joe Forster/STA]

Dunno, perhaps his will to play the game was so strong that he bought another language version from another part of the world...?

with the new noCD/DVD on gcw i have the same error with the older version, when i type in a playername the game crashes "godfather.exe has a problem and bla bla bla". a mini-image works fine! i have the german version!I have exactly the same problem !!!

[DABhand]

Hi! this problem, is a know issue by using a US or UK crack for the godfather with a European version of the game. To fix this, you need to know how to use Hexeditor and you can modifie a english "frontend_pc.str" file (in the frontend_pc folder from English game or modify the french modified to german). I have found modification for a french version and send it, to day to GCW, download it use as exemple and make the same modifications for german game (ALL Pal_fr or ntsc_en to german name, like Pal_ge & menu file list numbers, respect the ID strings spaces). Or modifie the proper english cracked exe to a german (it's not so eazy).

Have fun........................
