How do I run the .ecm file in the PS1 version?
You need to unpack that format. More details here
Basically, this is an compact format. You need to “unecm” your file. I strongly suggest you to read the link above.
Also, excellent site, congratulations to the owners and very thank you all! 🙂
Works really well! However, I couldn’t get passed the Spell learning section with Harmonies’s Alohamora. Really does work, take it from me. Even streamed it on my twitch channel. (Just search Robotic Tune)
To those of you having issues:
Use the Harry_Potter_and_the_Philosophers_Stone_Win_Files_En
(not the ISO file)
Go to Game FilesSystemHP.exe
The shortcut doesn’t work properly..
Follow the other instructions (Setting compatibility mode and administator)
None of them works. I have windows 10, updated, done every version and compatibility, not helping.
OOOOH! Game files and then the System file! That would’ve helped! I just had to search for “.exe” and the game literally appears and it just launches. Thank you!!!
It does not work on Windows ten I follow all the steps I even got the short on desktop click on it doesn’t work I the game window doesnt pop up any fixed.and one more I download iso.win file please help me
Sorry it didn’t work
Hi, I have managed to download the beginning of method two for windows but I dont understand the addition for windows 10. I have downloaded the file but I dont know where to find the installation directory to replace it with this. Can anyone help? Thanks,
Thank you so much for this page and the help installing. I got into re-reading the first book and really felt like reliving the game from the early 2000’s. It was a blast of nostalgia! Thank you people very very very much! I used Method 2 for installation, after the first one did not work,
Does it run on Windows 10
yes
not on mine
When I try to launch the game it comes up with the right menu at the start but after i click play, it shuts down and then nothing loads up for the game to start working. Any ideas on how to fix this?
The camera seems to be constantly moving to the right – any idea how to fix this?
When I try launch the game after going through all the steps I just get
“Critical error – General protection fault! History: applnit” how do I fix this?
did you fix that?
The code doesn’t work.
I got it working now. Thanks for helping us with the software to play old games on PC again. Kudos to all you people.
I used the code above for windows second method and the code doesn’t work did you get a different one?
I can’t open the HPlauncher.exe file after extraction. When I attempt, it gives me the following message: “The drive or network connection that the shortcut ‘HPlauncher.exe.lnk’ refers to is unavailable. Make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the network resource is available, and then try again.’. When I attempted to open properties, it kept stating the file path wasn’t valid either and I don’t get any compatibility options. Not sure what to do with this one.
try open file HP.exe in EA GamesHarry PotterSystem foldder
Im having the same issue – any fixes ? 🙁
