Thank you so much. This game has evaded me for years and every time I try to get it to run I fail. You’re a genius and if I ever meet you I would buy you a pint and give you a massive smooch! Legend!
similar timing by us for this great game lol ive been trying last few days and finally found this is the best video on the game ive found i followed step by step and nothing happens after i run the golf.exe im so sad
U my sir are a hero! Looked for this some years back, didnt get it to work. Tried some other people guiding me so wrong, but u made me able to launch my fav game from 16-17 years back, LEGEND
Yeah, instructions for download of the game aren't even close. I downloaded it and it was not one simple folder like the video. No idea what to click on to install
Thanks alot man. Worked perfectly for me. Guess some people just don't understand PCs are all different and what works for me might not work for you. Awesome job though man. Whats the name of that song?? ha
I followed step by step and nothing happens when i run golf.exe any ideas i dont understand what you mean all pcs are different i get it but how does that apply to us all being on windows 10? any ideas thank you
@@cykeln5264 unpack.exe isn't there, sim_golf>sim golf>Sid Meier's SimGolf... not even the patch I'm supposed to replace. Could the file have been removed online?
@@cykeln5264 I have several times, but the downloaded zip file only has the Sid Meier's SimGolf folder in it, not the exe or the old patch :( EDIT: I tried redownloading the zip file again, and unzipped it using the built-in windows unzipper (*idk?) and not the 7zip app, and that works hmmm
YES!! This worked on my Dell laptop 🙏🙏 thanks so much!! I have a question tho, do you have any idea how we can add custom head pictures? There’s an option in game and I’ve tried adding .pcx files to the heads folders but nothing shows up, any idea?
I followed step by step and nothing pops up at the end when i try opening the application and nothing happens. opening autorun shows the first menu but pressing play does nothing. Any help is greatly appreciated this is the best guide out there for this game my pc just doesnt want to comply. no error messages or nothing ive followed closely twice
There is not much to it really, replace the patch, unzip the files, add the new exe file "unpack the files," and be sure to run is under win7 mode, and as admin.
@@cykeln5264 what could it be how can i fuck that up lmao no compatibility works it makes no sense i followed every step! even getting the game to run without sound is simply replace and unzip by the looks and i cant do that right im so frustrated
I did what this video "showed" but the game doesn't even start up for me... be nice to have someone talking thru the video in English step by step instead of trying to translate mouse movement and foreign languages on their computer
April 2022 and this still worked perfectly. Thanks!
Confirmed, works on Windows 11 too. Thanks dude!
How did you manage to install it? I've been struggling for months now😂
Thank you for putting this up. I was looking to play this for at least a month. I'm enjoying the nostalgia of the game.

Got it working through windows 11, you just have to launch it from the file folder, you cannot make a shortcut.
Yeah, instructions for download of the game aren't even close. I downloaded it and it was not one simple folder like the video. No idea what to click on to install
grazie mille!

Not working on my computer
Anyone on Mac? Trying to work this through Porting Kit and having troubles. Don't have enough space to run a Virtual Machine unfortunately...
Have Wondows 10. Game is loading and starting, but when I wanna start a course, it doesnt load the maps and crashes... any idea?
Did you fix the problem?
@@Eduardo-ww7kj yes. Just try with the window's mode change. Try several ones. With win 7 it worked for me for win 10. Strange but workes.
@Ben Perkins actually it us described in the video. When you chose the windows type, chose win 7 instead of 10
@Ben Perkins look at 4:31 there you go ;)
Amazing game...will not open the .exe file after following all the steps..any ideas???
same for me did you ever find a fix?

@@cykeln5264 right lol. Ill try again. thanks for the video again.
i dont get it! really frustrating lol not much more help i can get than what youve given me! rip

why cant i even get the file opened
7zip
can this work for windows 7?
The Game is from The Windows 7 era, so just follow the guide, you dont need to follow the last step where i show to run it as win7
I did what this video "showed" but the game doesn't even start up for me... be nice to have someone talking thru the video in English step by step instead of trying to translate mouse movement and foreign languages on their computer
When i get the time. Ill make a talking video on this
