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

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"

pleaaase help

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

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

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

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

Do you own the original? ;)

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

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"

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

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

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

well, i can´t
 

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??

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

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!

what is it about that line that really raises my suspicions

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

I have exactly the same problem !!!

Does it happen with your original disc GLH? lol

heh, classic :)

hmm.... What is an original disc ???? :D:D:D

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........................
