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

IwubCookies · #92 22-03-2006, 22:21

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.

These are my spec:
- Windows HP Home Edition;
- Intel Pentium 1,70GHz

- 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...

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

Joe Forster/STA · #**104** 29-03-2006, 04:28

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!
