With these two issues resolved, you can now go ahead and start the game. If you need a full tutorial on using dgVoodoo2, click here. The default location of this directory is “C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\Harry Potter TM\System”. You should copy these files into the “System” sub folder within the “Harry Potter TM” game folder. Harry Potter is a DirectX game, so copy the dgVoodoo2 DLL files from the MS sub folder. Download and install the dgVoodoo2 package into the games directory. Once you’ve worked around the copy protection issues, you need to make one more change before the game will run on most modern PCs. The cracked executable file we used had an MD5 value of DEDA3278D2A328D244832976B719B382. This does mean trawling the shadier parts of the internet and regrettably we cannot link to such files here, even for old games. The final option (and the only option for Windows 10 users) is to find a cracked/hacked version of the game with the copy protection removed. To work around this problem in Windows 7 or 8, you can try temporarily re-enabling the secdrv service by following this Microsoft article.Īlternatively, you can simply uninstall Windows update number 3086255, though doing so may arguably make your computer more vulnerable to security threats. Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone uses SafeDisc copy protection, which is unfortunately incompatible with Windows 10 (and Windows 7 and 8 with Windows update 3086255 installed). The main obstacle to running this game on a modern PC is the games copy protection. If the games installer does not start automatically, browse to the CD in Computer/This PC and run the “Autorun.exe” file manually. Simply place the CD into your computers optical drive and follow the on-screen prompts.
The game should install without any difficulties on a modern PC. Fans of Harry Potter and all things wizardry and witchcraft remember the game much more fondly however.
Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone, also known as Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone (or Harry Potter (TM) and the Philosophers Stone (TM) / Sorcerers Stone (TM) as EA (TM) would have us call it) received only mixed reviews from the muggles.
The first book in the epic Harry Potter saga spawned a hugely successful movie and predictably, this video game tie in.
