Togainu no Chi "gamedisc" error

So I installed Togainu no Chi today, and I mounted it using Daemon Tools Ultra 3. I installed the game and ran the update and moved script.pak to the installation directory, and when it was installed the shortcut was on my desktop. But whenever I try to start the game the image of the blonde guy comes up and I don't even get to the game menu before this error shows up:

Attachment 166668

I don't know what it says besides "gamedisc" and "ok", so I can't figure out what's wrong.
I'm using Windows 8.1 so I don't know if that's the issue or not considering this game is nearly 10 yrs old
someone please help, i really want to play it and i've been trying all day :(

Hello koujakuz!

This error message pops up when the game cannot find the original disc in the drive, or the ISO isn't mounted in a virtual drive. There isn't any "No-CD" for this game.

I don't have the Ultra version of Daemon Tools, so I cannot verify, but if I mount TnC the game can usually find the virtual drive with the ISO.

If you've restarted your computer, make sure Daemon Tools still has TnC mounted when you try running the game. If it is mounted, and this error occurs, you could try the "Run as administrator" option, by Right-clicking on the game icon.

I've tried the "Run as administrator" option, but the same GameDisc error continues to pop up. I used Daemon Tools to mount the image as well...

Heya Hunterchi! ^^

Let's see... What version of Windows are you running, and where was your version of TnC installed to?

Lastly, you've also made sure that your System Locale is set to Japanese, right?

Hm.
I'm having the same problem, but I've installed TNC before on another computer and it worked just fine.
I've been wrestling with it all morning.
Question: should there be an ISO file in the TNC file (!咎狗の血(ボーイズラブゲーム)【050225】)? I can't quite find one and I'm wondering if that's the reason I can't play.

Yea, I think this error also occurred if you had installed the game with a different locale than what you are trying to play it, so both the installation and the actual playing needed to be done with the Japanese locale, so the translation patch works properly and the game exe finds the mounted image.

I have the same problem. :sic:
I use Windows 7 64bit. I didn't have any problems with running DMMD, so this got me really upset.
For mounting I used DAEMON Tools Lite and I installed the game in Users > Admin > Documents.

In my version I don't have an actual .iso file, it's .img
It should be there wherever you installed the game from in the first place.

I wouldn't suggest installing any games under 'users' or 'program files' folder. Just reinstall to a folder that has nothing to do with Windows, like C:/Games/Togainunochi and see if there are still issues.

I tired and it's still the same.

Also, may I know what software did everyone use for mounting the game? Maybe DAEMON Tools Lite which is used is just not appropriate.

Hooray! I got it to work! The game mounts no problem with Virtual CloneDrive (version 5.4.7.0), which I found after some trial and error with three other emulating programmes.

Thank you everybody for support!

I used Daemon Tools Lite (it's the only program I've ever needed to use for mounting images) and it worked fine, but there are always so many little things that influence each other with all the different computer setups, so you never know what might go wrong. Glad it's working now.

I used Virtual CloneDrive too, and while I'm not completely sure what's going on with my computer, it's working and the game boots up, the script is in English...
Daemon Tools Lite just doesn't work well with Windows 7, I think. Also, it didn't recognize the .img file, although it did work once I renamed it to togainunochi.iso (it even showed the install screen and everything). Now, time to re-enjoy TNC! Thank you to everyone for helping!

I thought I'd pop in and say that I had this error when I first tried installing TNC on my Win7 PC. I followed all the steps and kept getting the error. Following the bits of advice found on quite a few of the threads on the forum here on this issue, here is what worked for me:

1) Uninstall everything of TNC you've installed thus far
2) Uninstall whatever version of Daemon Tools Lite you have, and install an older version. (I'm using version 4.40.2 from January 2011).
3) Mount the CCD file in Daemon Tools Lite, and run the installation, but install in plain "Program Files" or any other folder (i.e.documents, games) except "Program Files (x86)".
4) Run the two executables in the English Patch folder "as an administrator". When installing the update and English Patch, make sure the destination folder matches the location where you installed the game.
5) Copy the "script" file from the English patch folder, and paste it in your installation folder, and make sure to choose "Copy, but keep both files".
6) Make sure your locale is set to Japanese! :3
7) Run the game!

I'm not sure if this will help at all, but I figured if I got something to work that other people have been having issues with, it's worth sharing my process! Good luck! I've just started sooo WISH ME LUCK~

Thank you soooo much! Just switching to the older version helped fix it for me! Thank you for posting this!
