looked everywhere trying to find a way to get blood omen working on an xp machine, seems that the only way to get it working is to use a patch that changes the original kain.exe to something more xp friendly, unfortunately this means it is impossible to use the cracked no-cd kain.exe in the rip making it a catch 22.
If I had the original cd I'd be able to play blood omen on xp with the patch but I don't have the original cd so I need the no-cd crack to run the game...doh! Just interested in finding out if anyone has managed to get the blood omen rip working on xp as I'm out of ideas.
oh and if anyone has stumbled onto this and actually has the original pc blood omen disk (you lucky devil) the xp patch can be found at the underdogs site.
