In reply to Smoff.

Holy shit, this worked, many thanks. I am still not sure exactly what the issue was or how it was fixed.

To those asking about the patch: google “gangsters 2 patch 1.07”, I got it from a site called Patches Scrolls DE. Pretty random website but at least VirusTotal said the file was okay. After I installed this patch I no longer got the “CD missing from drive” error but the game (as Smoff said) would still not run.

When I tried troubeshoot compatbility option, it did nothing, just a blank white window popped up, so I tried manually setting the game file to run in WinXP/SP2 compatibility mode via Properties, after which, when I then opened the game, the compatibility troubleshooter was automatically triggered, which completed and then finally allowed the game to run. I made no changes to directx, just the autorun.exe and gangsters2.exe

Just dropping this here in case it helps anyone – not seen this solution posted anywhere else. I was able to mount the BIN file absolutely fine and install the game. The game loading screen would come up OK but then I would get the no CD error like other users when trying to play. I downloaded the patch and ran it. After that, I no longer got the no CD error but the game still wouldn’t run. I did a right click on dXset up and selected “troubleshoot compatibility”. This made it run in Windows XP mode. I then did a right click on the autorun application and “troubleshoot compatibility” again. Once more, it put it into Windows XP compatibility mode. Result! Game runs. (Worth noting I am using an old-style computer monitor because I noticed it makes old games run a bit smoother with reduced lag, this might have made a difference and be why I don’t need to use an emulator)

Hey everyone,

Installation asks to insert 2 CD. In the ReadMe file says
Gangsters 2 requires at least a Quad-Speed CD-ROM drive with 32-bit Windows 98, ME drivers.

I cant install it
Can someone help me please?

Thanks

In reply to Anton. Hi Anton, The zip contains no .ISO file, but has .BIN and .CUE disc images instead. They are functionally the same, just pick either and mount it the same as you would with .ISO. If you don't have .BIN or .CUE either, your antivirus might've stuck them in quarantine.

I can’t find the .ISO to mount anywhere in the files I downloaded. The autorun keeps telling me to insert a CD but I obviously don’t have one. Does anyone know where I can get a good .ISO file to mount so I can install this? Because I swear there isn’t any mountable .ISO files anywhere in the folders. Unless there’s some other file extension I should be looking for?

Need some help here, what do I do so that the game installs correctly?

In reply to Joey Bane. Hi, you have to download an emulator on your PC. I suggest "DAEMON Tools"

How do you run this game? I’ve mounted the iso and ive copied the .exe and overwritten the directory but it says “this program will; not run without the cd-rom in the drive. Err. 1001”
