I have AMD Phenom I 9950 BE Quadcore CPU.
Game wont launch even with disc.
My Gold Games version was v2.0, i patched it with the Dx5 2.0 to 2.1 single updater.
And OllyDBG seems to have problmes with it, too.

I get a "Unable to locate data in executable file" when i try to save my changes.
Exes are coded in Watcom C++ and are not packed or crypted.


Try the following:
1. Load winpod.exe (most recent one, 1156KB size, version in file properties 2.2.8.1) in OllyDBG.
2. Go to adress 004742B2.
You should see JNZ SHORT winpod.004742CD.
3. Press space bar, type NOP, click Assemble and cancel.
4a. Select the two red nops and rightclick: Choose Copy to executable, all modifications, Copy all.
4b. If the same error that i get occurs, press F9 or click on the "play" button in order to start the game.
In this case, you have to the steps above each time you wanna play.

If you need adresses for other files, just tell me name, and version number.

Ok. I got Ollydbg (v.2.00.01) from http://www.ollydbg.de/

I was not able to do point 4a (different menu) When I select the two red nops with shift key, rightclick --->edit--->copy to executable.

Then I right click on new opened window and I select save file. I received no errors. Don't know if this method can be correct.

But when I execute the game (using italian language, as I understood only italian part is patched now) a new popup appears: "Impossible to find the disc in the unit. Insert a disc in the unit g:" cancel,retry,continue.

If I press cancel it quits, if I press continue the other popup window appears: insert cdrom pod.
