Same thing was happening to me yesterday! Just let it sit there for a while and it will finish the download. Yea the download is about 2gigs!

@roym76: Don't try to use files off a mini image, it won't work. (Had you had read the FAQ, you'd already know that by now!)

Please insert the correct DVD-ROM
 

I have the game and installed it etc; "Please insert the correct DVD-ROM"

and that's what I get when i try to launch it. I'm using the disc and everything. The disc is in my dvd-rom drive...
Do you guys know what hte problem is?

Heres what i did.

Installed game.

After install, i mounted the The Godfather [ENGLISH] No-DVD/Fixed Image #1 in DT4.

Then i used a hiding tool like sr7 and sd4hide ( tried both ).

Ran the game, but it immediatly kicks me to desktop.

Am i missing something?

@tsi_: If your original game doesn't work, contact the publisher.

@IwubCookies: Read the FAQ on how to use mini images. Also, try with the original; if it doesn't work, contact the publisher.

there must be something i can do
like use a no cd patch???

Try with the original image file? Thats what i used first and it didnt work, kicks me to desktop too.

@IwubCookies
No try it with your original disc!! Does the game work from the original disc? Without using an image or cracks etc.

yes it works perfectly fine with original disc. Me and my dad like to play the same games. We generally always play games at the same time, so we always use clones or images instead of buying the same game twice. Its annoying to constantly switch cds btween pcs.

As much as I dont agree with this particular part of the law but in most cases the EULA does state that the game must only be installed onto one PC at a time. I know this sucks but thats just how it is.
I believe we should have the right to install our game onto any PC we have at our own house.
For example, when you buy a Monopoly Board Game, you dont buy a copy for every member in the house who wants to play! So why should we be expected to buy a CD Game for every member of the house!
When we buy a music CD we dont buy one for every member, in the house, who is listening to it!
I have 2 kids, and 3 PC's, I dont buy a game each for them! (even tho 99% of the time they are not playing the same game at the same time.)
Keep in mind, not all EULA's are the same and the law is not the same in each country, so it does depend on where and what the law states. ;)

ok i`m new to this fourum...is there some way that u can play a backup copy of godfather without using the orginal game? if so plz advise!!.thanks:D

Yea, but how would they even really know?? Thats the silly thing. I mean, if your not redistributing it for profit, or anything, theres no real way of getting caught breaking the eula. It makes you wonder why they even include it. I can understand with a software program like windows. I know ive had to call up microsoft and get a a new key to activate windows for updates, and all i did was format my HD or upgrade. Microsoft doesnt seem too fond of multiple installs of window's products with the same key, even if it's a perfectly legal copy.

Ack, sorry for going off-topic. This thread is about godfather, not EULA laws =)

@IwubCookies
When using an image, does the game CTD on both yours and your dads machine?
Here's another thing to try, start the game using the original disc in one machine, once the game is playing then remove the disc and start the game in the other machine. Sometimes the disc is only needed to start a game.

I have tried mounting the image with DT4 and used pr0tst0p to hide drives. Game works fine and everything, but after a while it just freezes. Anybody know what the problem could be?

Hi men i have a question!!! How i can change the language of the game?
In option file ive see that the only language is english but in file .ini are italian and other language.
Is possible to change language or subtitles?


Thanks at all!!!

Read the manual; ask the shop where you bought the game; contact the publisher; in this order.

The INI file may be in Italian if the developers were Italian. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that the game can be played in Italian language, too.

just use the newest A120% from march 23 and mount it with this one and nothing else works great enjoy

Hi everybody!
I mounted the image with Alcohol 120% (ver. 1.9.5 build 3823, last one). I used no crack. When i try to load the game, I got the first black screen with copyrights of production and then the game shut down and brings me back to desktop. Whats' the problem?

These are my spec:
- Windows HP Home Edition;
- Intel Pentium 1,70GHz
- 1024mb RAM;
- Video card: Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family

So mine is not good? :(

Is that possible that there is something lacking in the textfiles because I didn't even find anything "enter a car/exit a car" in the game's options, but something I did on the textfile so there was a buttonchange made T=Y.. just wondering will the mouse issue be fixed somehow in the same way.. but I don't bother try because I understand..nothing of these textfiles... :D

Edit: I'm not sure if someone tries to substitute the "default"file in the ORIGINAL game's files to the other game, so will it work then..
I'm eager to know if that's useless and very stupid information and want to know all the way, how it will be fixed, it's a damn good game.

The Godfather [ENGLISH] No-DVD/Fixed Image #1

I've then mounted the mini image with Alcohol, then used Anti-Blaxx

Ran the game using the original godfather.exe and it seems to be working fine.

I can get in and out of cars pressing the space bar. Although seems you can't get out of a car while its moving like in GTA, but I think thats by design not the copy protection kicking in.

Don't seem to be any mouse issues. Although the fact that there seems to be no mouse look, is that by design? What I mean is, for games like GTA, Oblivion, BF2 etc etc, you move your mouse to the left, you look to the left. On the Godfather, you move the mouse to the left, your character stays still but the camera just will spin around 360. I take it thats by design? There seems to be no option to change it to old school, mouse look.

Looks to me as if its designed for the console rather than the PC.

i solved my problem
but ironically, the original dvd didnt work
I had to do it the less honest way and get SD4hide and daemon tool v4
download a patch
mount it
and then the game worked fine

weird weird

anyways
the means dont matter
i got the ends i needed :P

If your original CD/DVD doesn't work, keep bashing the publisher; it's their damn job, you've paid them for, to help you!

joeypesci the mouse works great all i do is use the up key only and to all about the game dont work it work with me a120% mount with mini click on disktop shortcut and play no dtool or sd hide but newest a120% v1.9.5 3895

this may have answered my question right here. I am using an OLD Nvida GeForce MX440, the computer has 256 MB ram, and im hooked to a Samsung DLP with VGA (for what its worth). I get the loading screen and the menus, but i cannot see my mouse pointer. I have to guess where it is to highlight things. When trying to create a character, I cannot see the character either. The ONE time I actually managed to get the mouse pointer over 'OK' to get into the game, the game looked like a polygonal mess (think SNES Star Fox gone bad). I could make out dressers and desks here and there, but it was unplayable. Is this because my video card is just old and outdated and isnt supported, even with current drivers?

cant write character name!!!
 

i wish i had such problems like "i cant get out of cars" or " invert mouse" but with problem i cant play the game... I start new game , i waste 30 minutes to make my character and when i press ok i could write a name. my keyboard was ok but i couldn't write a name and the game crashes :mad: . i dont believe that is a hardware problem cause i have a GT7800 , amd 3500+ and 1GB ram. any solution:confused: ???

@KCMC582
Yes your problem would definately be associated with your MXX440 card.

video card
 

i meant NX7800GT VT2D 256 and not mxx 440:D

@drspalis
Yes my comment was for 'KCMC582' not you. ;)

mount image with daemon tools everything will be fine,i ve tried all the patches and fixes and the only method that the game works properly with is mounting the image with daemon tools.....

only lies
 

latest version of alchool doesnt work and latest of daemon doesnt work with the minimage
is says insert disk in unit f: so stop postings useless solution you only waste my time

@darthmarc
It appears it is you who is wasting others peoples time!
I can assure you an Image of the game Godfather, mounted in the latest Alcohol 120%, does indeed work! ;)

no i doesnt work
 

i have the latest version of the 2 programs alchool and daemon and whe u insert de image it says please insert cd in f drive
so it doesnt recognize the image and doesnt work

@darthmarc
Instead of saying "it doesnt work!" you should actually be saying "it doesnt work for me!"
It 'does' work fine for me and many others.
What is you actual 'F' drive? Is it a real CD/DVD drive?

Perhaps, the FAQ has a few useful ideas you haven't tried yet.

Install game.
Don't replace the .EXE.
Mount the mini image using latest Daemon Tools.
All emulation options in Daemon Tools set to off.
And thats it, works that way for me.
No need for any other curerom type tools.
And BTW "darthmarc" no need to be rude these guys are only here to help, So stop the rudeness. It gets you nowhere!

any1 who got this 2 work with original exe & miniimage pm me, plz

darthmarc
 

quit being an ass just trying to help.

Hi! I encounter exactly the same problem with a french version from this game and reloaded's english crack. i have tested the GHC Crack and the IND crack, exactly same problem.

Now i have tested the reloaded crack by a friend on a english game and it work proper!

I think all actual crack's are only for english version and work proper on their..

Don't use it for euro version.:D
