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.

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?

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.

To change the installation language, copy the entire dvd to a folder on your PC. Open the Autorun folder and then open the autorun.cfg file with notepad. Scroll to the list of languages and simply replace the 0 with a 1 after the name of the language you require. Also replace the default language 1 with a 0. Save the corrected file. Install from the EA Autorun file.

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


Please help me!

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...

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.

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?
