Someone please explain this like I am a 5 year old. Windows 10. Service pack 3 is the only option. None of the step-by-step instructions are detailed enough. Too generic. Cannot get the game to run. See below

1. Download ISO Version - Done
2. Extract the file (anywhere at this point) - Done
3. Right-click and MOUNT the file -Done
4. Open the setup file (this is the installer) and install the app in your drive and the where you put your games. -Done
5. Input the CD key indicated on the uploader's comment. - Done
6. After installing, right-click on the golf application and choose "Troubleshoot Compatibility" pick WinXP (Serv pack 2) and run as administrator. - "Golf Application" is where? When I click on "golf" it only shows SP3. And there are 2 different "golf" files with 2 different dates.
7. Download NOCD and extract the files INSIDE the game's file and just choose replace all. - As soon as a try to choose the location, the extract option goes away. INSIDE the game's file makes no sense to me. Need way more detail.
8. Do this step for the patch as well and just extract inside the game folder and replace all. - Same as #7

GolfProbs 2024-06-23 0 point

I can't extract the NOCD files and patch files to the game files

Game WORKING on Windows 11 as of June 2024

I followed JM's instructions, and it works great so far! I had to change the option to not run at 640x480 or something like that, and now it opens for me. Sound working. Everything seems good so far. Will update if I have issues.

I'm trying to run this in CrossOver for mac but keep getting a black screen once the titles clip is done. Any ideas what the issue could be?

GolfWang 2024-02-25 2 points

I am trying to get this to run for me and my computer doesn't even react to running the application after downloading. Would love to play if possible

Tricky 2024-01-08 1 point

It locks up my computer and I have to do a hard reboot.

kean 2023-12-20 2 points

*i can confirm working for me!*
currently on Window10 home and i ran the "golf" file from the rip folder. initially no sounds but game loads fine visually.. i quit the game and run the reg batch file and the setup batch file and started the game after and now it functions with sound! its fully working thus far for me (only 3 holes test) and its full screen defo not demo sandbox mode and tried to start 3 courses on easy mode just to mess about and it works. the camera panning is my only complaint as its slightly laggy but i can live with it. my settings are compatiblity to XP service pack 3, run as admin, disable full screen optimisations and uncheck the rest - hope this helps someone!

MrmaccNZ 2023-11-01 -4 points

OMG! I love this game and have wanted to play it again for years! I have downloaded it, done the reg fix issue and the game loads with sound but when I get to selecting the first course location i just get a blue spinning wheel. Any ideaS?

I am not a tech and dont know what files to look at. I am running windows 10.

pleeeease help i love this game so much!!!

sandman 2022-08-07 1 point

where do i find the game patch and nocd patch

KDGzero 2022-08-01 -5 points

For those having an issue with sound, try running the Regsetup executable. That seems to properly associate the game with the Registry and fixed the sound for me.

Throwback Gmr 2022-07-12 1 point

Windows10 - ran RIP and patch. Am able to get into the game and main menu but when I select a course, it freezes up. Thoughts? Ideas?

Jinxo 2022-06-26 0 point

What is this NOCD????

zwei 2022-06-14 1 point

Using QEMU with WinXP guest (and NOCD patch), only the 'cirrus' video driver works. QXL even with guest tools installed and other driver permutations seem to fail with a black screen and an unresponsive game.

CD 2022-03-28 3 points

Windows 10. Use the RIP file instead of the ISO. Extract file. Extract patch file into that location. Right click golf.exepropertiescompatibility. Select Windows XP service pack 2 and run as admin. Run app. Thanks all.

Fodder 2022-03-23 0 point

I had the flashing black screen and not working. I changed screen resolution to PC 800x600 - worked first time!

DustyBottomsAmigo 2022-02-27 3 points

Game works great except no sound.

Scotty 2022-02-24 1 point

Are there any clear instructions at all? I can download the no cd patch but that is it. HOW do you replace the no cd file and HOW do you log onto windows 10 as an administrator. Plenty of non intelligible advice but no real step by step instructions.

Dave888 2022-02-09 -1 point

I've managed to get the ISO image "mounted" but there is no "Autoplay" option when I right click the drive as instructed.

I think we might need clearer instructions in how to use Daemon Tools

golfpilot 2022-01-23 0 point

I've got a 5900x and 3090 with a 32 inch 4k monitor and the majority of my time gaming is spent playing this game. If I could have only one game on my computer, this would be it.

JM 2022-01-12 3 points

This works on my Windows as of Jan. 2022

1. Download ISO Version
2. Extract the file (anywhere at this point)
3. Right-click and MOUNT the file
4. Open the setup file (this is the installer) and install the app in your drive and the where you put your games.
5. Input the CD key indicated on the uploader's comment.
6. After installing, right-click on the golf application and choose "Troubleshoot Compatibility" pick WinXP (Serv pack 2) and run as administrator.
7. Download NOCD and extract the files INSIDE the game's file and just choose replace all.
8. Do this step for the patch as well and just extract inside the game folder and replace all.

YOU'RE DONE

Johnny 2022-01-09 0 point

Works great on Windows 11. For those that are having trouble getting to run on this version of Windows, download the ISO, run the installer, then download the "NOCD" game extra.

Bryan Burke 2021-11-28 0 point

Hey guys. Can some make a vid or better explain what you mean by mount the disk image.

scott 2021-08-01 -5 points

cant get this to work , followed everything but dont get what yous mean by mount ?

Siris 2021-07-21 -2 points

Oh man, I used to play this constantly!
Thank you for bringing back some great memories. I can't wait to dive back in.

Confirmation: Clyde's method works!
run compatibility on - XP Service Pack 2
I've also reduced color to 8 Bit (256)

Please note: Patch and No CD are separate downloads below the game download.
(took me a while to stumble around before figuring that out)

Another FYI - Use the product code for the game that is listed in the comments. (it was said before but it is important)

Neptune 2021-07-20 1 point

Run It in VirtualBox windows xp

how to install windows xp on VB: https://www.sysnettechsolutions.com/en/install-windows-xp-virtualbox-windows-10/

then follow Clyde's instructions (minus compatibility mode) and move all the files into your VirtualBox shared folder and it works perfectly

Neptune 2021-07-12 0 point

So i installed the patch (i believe) but I'm having trouble "replacing the .exe game file, like i have the nocd Mounted but its mounted on a separate drive do i need to somehow mount them together or what? also johnny idk if youll; see this but the cd key
is at the bottom of the comments

Johnny 2021-05-27 0 point

The Windows ISO version requires CD key :(

Gill 2021-02-26 -1 point

I Everyone.

I Followed all the instructions, Mount, patch, nocd, service pack 2. I open game and the screen goes black and tries to resize and crashes.

Any idea what went wrong?

Danidius 2021-02-08 0 point

Thanks so much Clyde! I got to play this gem of a game again.
Thanks myabandonware too!

Olback 2021-01-25 -3 points

Clydes instructions worked for me

NeedsHelp 2020-09-11 2 points

So, when i try to install or uninstall it says it has had a "catastrophic failure". Can anyone help me?

admin 2020-08-31 0 point

Converted the image to .iso for easier use

Svenska 2020-08-31 0 point

Clyde's 3-step instructions on 2020-08-27 worked for me, but I needed to take an additional step before I could mount the disk image. I had to convert the .bin file within the "ISO Version" download to an .iso file. To create the .iso file, I used the freeware "WinBin2Iso," which is available here: https://www.softwareok.com/?Download=WinBin2Iso.

Hope this helps others!

Clyde 2020-08-27 24 points

1st: ------------------
- Download the "ISO VERSION";
- Then mount the disk image (I use daemon tools lite works great and its free);
- Right click your new drive and select "Open AutoPlay"
- Install the game and use game key provided in this comments section;

2nd: -----------------
- Download the game patch and no-cd patch;
- Install the game patch first;
- Then swap out the installed golf.exe for the one provided in the no-cd patch download;

3rd: -----------------
- Change compatibility to WinXP (serv pack 2) and set to Run as Administrator;

AND YOUR DONE! :)

david 2020-08-21 0 point

OK, I'm not so bright.
Can someone please provide instructions on how to install on Win10? I downloaded the 4 files below.

Can't figure out what the ISO-version is.
I unzipped the RIP version and assume this is the installed location.
I ran the Patch file and installed it in the same RIP folder as golf.exe
I ran the compatability check (XP patch 3 was the only option on my comp).
No dice.

Thanks for your feedback!

dkab 2020-08-10 2 points

In Windows 10, set golf.exe to run in compatibility mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 2).

m_ar 2020-08-05 2 points

unable to get past the second layer of game menus (selecting where you'd like to build your course) without the game becoming non-responsive. Win10

admin 2020-07-25 1 point

Thanks Clyde, I think the "demo" was a full RIP, I extracted the patch and noCD, they are now in separate downloads.

Clyde 2020-07-24 2 points

Hi everybody!,
So i discovered a fix by accident. After i couldn't get the full game to work, I said f*** it and downloaded the demo. In the zip file I noticed two extra files; One being a patch for the FULL GAME and the other being a "no-cd patched" exe game file..... So I said "What the hell!" and first ran the patch update (I still had the full game installed [p.s. I have windows 10 and have experienced the black screen to desktop with no error]) then I exchanged the "golf.exe" file with the one in the "SIMGOLF.102.ENG.MYTH.NOCD.ZIP" folder........... and OMG IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

------- I hope this helps others
Your Friend,
Clyde!!!!

Babylovesim 2020-07-23 -1 point

your download requires some conversion and loaded to a disk. this had a download, that was just a small program. my disk drive isnt working, so i cant download this.

Tandoori 2020-05-11 2 points

I found the solution. You'll need a no cd patch to get it to work on Windows 10. Apparently for some security reasons Windows 10 doesn't allow accessing virtually mounted drives or something.

Tandoori 2020-05-11 0 point

Like some others, I can't run this on Win10. Installed using the serial number provided but not able to start even with Windows XP SP2 compatibility mode,

That Guy 2020-05-08 -1 point

Yeah, unfortunately, this copy of an amazing game will not run in Windows 10. The serial number will get you through installation (Thanks PQXF) but it just wont run. Anyone have some insight?

pqxf 2019-12-18 19 points

Here's a serial number for the full version 2495-6442747-3576919-6013
Use UltraISO to convert from B6I/B6T to BIN/CUE

Mt-Player 2019-08-25 1 point

When I download it, it just comes as a file.
Not a playable format, what am I doing wrong?

FroggieLongTongue 2019-08-10 0 point

What's the serial number at the back of the box? :)

Floppy Waffle 2018-06-15 3 points

You have to run this in Windows XP SP2 compatibility mode to get this to work on Windows 10

BigBird 2018-05-02 -13 points

I'm having a lot of trouble getting this to run on Windows 10, anyone had success?

MAM 2017-01-21 -7 points

It's the demo
