Pigeon Blood Installation Help

Attachment 167363

I download all 13 RAR files along with the Patch from this website, extracted them and have the ISO file and so far I have problems with the ISO being mounted (it says there was an error, I've tried with both Daemon Tools Lite and WinCDEmu) and when I tried just going straight to the Setup.exe I've been getting this message no matter what I do and it's really frustrating!

Has anyone dealt with this problem as well? I'm running Windows 7 x64 bit.

Please help this game looks interesting and I've been struggling with this download/installation since Thursday T_T

The image was resized so the Kanji on the error message is a bit hard to make out. But it looks like it's asking for the original game disk to continue installation. Might be acting like the disk hasn't been inserted or was removed. Hard to say, exactly.

Is this the error you mentioned? You said something about an error when mounting...? Were there any errors when you tried extracting the ISO?

Yes, this is the error I mentioned! When I was extracting everything it seemed alright and I actually tried doing this from a different source as well (YaoiOtaku.com) and I had the same error. I didn't give me any message that the ISO wasn't functioning and it seemed to mount but all it said on the Daemon Tools Lite showed me is this:

So it must be something with the ISO but I have no idea what exactly. Sorry about the image! But here it is any way with a close-up. I can understand most of it and it does seem that it requires the insertion of the game disc for some reason?

Hmm, I'm not entirely certain.

Mind you, I downloaded Pigeon Blood from here: http://aarinfantasy.com/forum/f145/t...geonblood.html from the MEGA link. (Don't redownload yet!! I have a few steps)

When I extracted the ISO, and mounted it with Daemon Tools Lite, it showed me a pink pill icon, with the proper name for it. (PSXXX_PJBLD) The game checks to make sure a CD with this name is inserted into the disk drive.

As much as I don't want to force you to re-download it, let's start by comparing file-sizes of the ISO:

Looking at the ISO in my folder, I get a filesize of: 4,230,944KB. By selecting the right-click > properties, I get a file size of: 4.03 GB (4,332,486,656 bytes).

Are your file-sizes the same? Also, can you view the files from the ISO when it's mounted?

Lastly, it let me install the game perfectly fine. May I ask what folder you tried to install the game to? Was it the default location of C:\PigeonBlood\ ??

If you can view the files on the disk perfectly fine when it's mounted, we could try copying the files directly from the CD (they're just -there-), except the game does do a CD check to see if the disk is in the drive before playing... So I think we should make sure the ISO is fine first.

Can anyone download a video, shows how to install the Pigeon Blood? T^T)

Hmm that's odd this is the exact same link where I downloaded the files from!

The problem is with Daemon Tools Lite, whenever I mounted the ISO which has the same exact name as the one you mentioned in the parenthesis, it would show up the image I showed you in my previous reply. The size I have for the ISO is 4,230,944 KB which is exactly the same as you have mentioned. I could not view the files after mounting the ISO because all it showed me was this and when I tried right-clicking to "open" the file it would not respond.

I did indeed try installing the game to the Local Disk C which is my default usually for games but I still got that message for some odd reason.

I really appreciate you trying to help me with this, it seems to be working just fine with everyone else so I'm a bit confused as to why it's not for me since this isn't my first BL game download.

Let's see... One way to verify if the ISO is in good standing, is to try to open the ISO in WinRAR, itself.

Open that up and then try to extract just a small file. You can delete it afterwards, if it extracts fine. If it does NOT, however, then the ISO is corrupt somehow.

If it does open and random file does extract fine, let's try a different program...
(SlySoft Download | AnyDVD, CloneDVD, CloneCD, GameJackal, Any DVD, Clone DVD, Clone CD, Game Jackal -- Virtual CloneDrive. It's free, last link in the list).

I switch between this program and Daemon Tools, depending on which game cause some games are just fickle... e__e;;;

Out of curiosity, your Windows 7 user account... Do you have admin privileges? Sometimes running stuff as an admin might work, but then again, it might not. Sorry all I have are just troubleshooting steps.

I tried the extracting with WinRar and it seemed to work just fine! And yes my account had admin privileges set as well.

Honestly I have no idea what could be the issue here and it's quite confusing so anything you can offer as help so far has been really appreciated!

Have you tried Virtual CloneDrive ? I use it as an alternative to Daemon Tools, and vice versa when the other doesn't work for me.

Virtual CloneDrive Download

Give that a shot. It's the last link of the list, the (Free) one. It will need a restart, though.

Okay I will try this over the weekend when I have the time to download it and let you know how it goes afterwards! :-)

Okay so I was finally able to download Virtual Clone Drive and tried mounting the ISO but I don't hear or see anything happening, was it able to mount?

Hmm, well, start Virtual Clone drive (through the icon), and it pops up with the settings manager. Make sure that there are at least "1" drive.

You should now have an extra DVD/CD drive in your "My Computer" area. Virtual CloneDrive is mostly Right-click use, so there isn't a GUI like Daemon Tools. There are two ways to mount... One, navigate to the new drive in the "My Computer" area, and right-click on it. Select "Virtual CloneDrive", then "Mount" and it'll ask you what ISO to mount.

The other is directly on the ISO.

So find the ISO of your flavour, Right-click, and select "Open with > Mount Files with Virtual CloneDrive".

If it isn't working, I'm beginning to wonder if there's something on your computer that doesn't want to let these programs run... Confusing!

Hmm I've being doing the direct mount from the ISO and it hasn't be reacting, maybe something with my security on my computer? I've extracting the RAR files one more time to see if anything changes!

This is a silly question, but is it just THIS ISO that won't mount properly? Or are others not working, either?

And yeah, some Security systems interfere with ISO mounting and DVD-based security systems. But I don't know many Visual Novels that have a DVD-Based security system other than the game verifying it's in the drive.

Hmm now that you mention it maybe it really is DAEMON Tools Lite or something that is the problem, I tried mounting a different ISO (Alice Madness Returns) and I still get this message after it supposedly mounts

This has never happened before with DAEMON Tools, but since mine was outdated they insisted I update it and ever since the update it's been a little weird. I will try reinstalling DAEMON Tools once more and seeing if I missed anything with the installation and try mounting it again!

Yeah after reinstalling DAEMON Tools I still get the same message :?

This is really strange... What version of Daemon Tools Lite are you using? I guess we'll change gears in this topic to try and fix that. XD

You mentioned that it had complained that it was old, and you updated, right? So that means you did an upgrade to a newer version. I have Version 4.48.1... And mine says I didn't install the SPTD Stuff. You can check this out, too, with the "About" menu in DTLite.

I believe I'm using the newest Daemon Tools Lite version which is 5.0.1 and this includes the SPTD 1.86 and I downloaded from the original website. Maybe there was an error with the download and I was unable to get the entire program or there was something that went wrong with the installation? I'm going to try uninstalling the whole thing and then reinstalling it all anew and see what happens.

It seems to have properly installed but I still can't seem to mount the ISO correctly. It still shows the mounted ISO as:

I have no idea what to do now honestly it seems really odd.

Hi SatsugaiTenma-san~
I've try to instal and download the game from the same source as you : http://aarinfantasy.com/forum/f145/t...geonblood.html
I'm using UltraIso to mount the .iso file and it works. So, I suggest you to try UltraIso to mount the .iso file.

And here the screenshot (sorry if the image too long)
I hope this will help you ;)

Hello kyuuichii-san!!

Thank you, I will try downloading that and see if that works! :-)

- - - Updated - - -

The link to the UltraISO doesn't work for some reason no matter what browser I use, so I'm going to try PowerISO and see if that works!

- - - Updated - - -

Another update! PowerISO works finally and the game has installed properly without a problem I'm so happy!!!! :oops: Thank you to both Kojichan-san and kyuuichii-san for helping me throughout this forum and I'm so grateful!!!

Your welcome ;) glad that you can enjoy the game now ^^

UltraIso link work fine in my pc and I'm using firefox ;)

Hi
I need help with something
I read in the comments that the iso files should have 4.03 GB (4,332,486,656 bytes), but I only have 3,73 GB (4 005 908 061 bytes), I even tried to download them all one by one and nothing .. I also think that that's the reason why I keep getting a message saying that the iso file is corrupted
Can somebody help me? I really want to play this game
:sic:

Where did you download Pigeon Blood from, and how many parts do you have?

If you found the download for the game from Aarinfantasy, there should be 13 parts, labelled "PSXXX_PJBLD.part**.rar", and go from 01 to 13. Each one is approx 307MB, where the last one is 225MB approx.

The file sizes you mentioned give me the impression that, if you had downloaded it from here, you're missing one part, or one part is corrupt.

You can use WinRAR or 7-Zip to extract the ISO, and both of them have a "Test Archive" function. Use it on the first part, and it should go through and verify that all the parts/bytes are there.

I can't figure out how to apply the English patch. Can I have some help? (If I'm posting in the wrong place I'm srry!! I'm kinda new)

I'm sorry if I am posting this in the wrong place, but I need some assistance. For some reason part 4 doesn't want to download and I'm using the link that was posted on the website. I've been trying since yesterday and have all the other 12 parts + patch already download to my computer.
