Ok for the past week i have been searchin all over the internet on how to do this and have gone through about 5 DVDs and 3 cds and still cannot get this game Arthurs Knights: Tales of Chivalry to work... i started out with 12 files a .cue, .ccd, .sub, and .img file for each cd(AK1,AK2,AK3) I soon found out that i needed a program called Alcohol 120%.... i mounted AK1.ccd to my emulated drive which automatically launch the game installation... the game install fine but when i go to launch the game it prompts me to enter CD 1(i thought the point of Alcohol 120% was to eliminate this problem) then i find out that some games recognize the emulated drive as fake so i got a drive hide utility(Y.A.S.U.) hoping that would work but i was still prompted for CD 1... i have been to countless forums and tried numerous drive emulation programs yet i cant get this game to work... this is a fairly old game so i wouldnt think its copy protection would be that advanced... im really lost, i am not sure if i am doing something wrong or what but any help would be appreciated... The game is made by DreamCatcher and i cant find any info on what kind of copy protection they use... oh and i have also tried Daemon Tools and it didnt work either.....HELP!!.....

The problem is where ever you for the files from I think the person that ripped the game ripped it probably under the wrong fornat or didn't know what they were doing. This gives you a few options. You can either get the disk and rip it yourself correctly or get a no cd crack. If they ripped it correctly the emulation software would work fine.

dont search majority of the sites that give you a patch/crak are viruses or spyware. you can just go to http://www.megagames.com or http://gamecopyworld.com safest sites that i know of on the net that don't give you viruses

After you install the game you dl the fixed.exe and put it in the game folder and replace the old one. It will ask you to overite it and just hit yes. It's always safe to save a back up of the original.exe incase you need to patch it. Patches won't work with the fixed.exe. After you patch it you will have to get the new version fixed.exe.

ok heres what you do. go to your desktop find the short cut to the game. right click an go down to properties. then click on find target on the window that open. once the window opens put the patch in there and replace it. you might want to back up the original .exe just in case.

if your using a crack or nocd patch make sure its the right version as the orignal one and yes you have to replace the .exe located in your hard drive. also you only need to mount the image to install the game. also while your game is mounted. go to my computer. then right click an go to explore on your image drive. then there should be a folder named crack or something like that. and use that patch if you havent updated the game.
