This is my first post here :)

First of all let me warn everybody who reads this NOT to buy The Godfather for PC. It is probably the poorest port I have ever seen.

Heres my dilema.

After I first installed the game from the origional DVD, tried to open it and it told me that I had the wrong disk in the drive.

I went to EA's website, and low and behold the directiond there didnt help at all.

I tried to use a no cd patch, but there is currently a glitch with the only one avaliable that makes it so you cant get out of your car.

I then downloaded the Mini Image from this website, and used it in both Daemon Tools and Alcahol 50%. In both of them, the game worked but the load times were extremely long and the game played as if I had 64MB of RAM. Is this an issue with the emulation software? My computer?

System specs: Athlon 64 3200, X800GT (DHazerpoint drivers), 1 Gig RAM, Windows XP Pro.

Please help me, I really want to play this game even though its a terrible port.

If you own the original DVD and are having problems even starting the game, then you have some problems, you would be best to contact the game developers tech support.

In my previous post I did mention that I tried to get help from EA.

I went to there website and followed all there instructions, which included un-installing all of my emulation software, changing the transfere methods of my disk drives, and running intense virus scans. None of it worked.:mad:

Mounting the mini image worked, but the game runs horribly; the load times are minuts, and whenever the game tries to load a new area of the map, it starts suttering as if I have 64 megs of RAM.

I guess this is more a question about how to mount images properly rather than how to play the godfather.

Any other suggestions?

the first image mounting always takes a little longer but after a few times it speeds up.
