Hannah Montana: The Movie

How to Play

The game has been tested on Windows 7 64-bit and Windows 10, it works okay but has some issues, check Notes for details

Install & play guide:

• Mount the disc image. You will need the utility for mounting disc image files, like WinCDEmu, UltraISO, Alcohol 52%/Alcohol 120% or Daemon Tools Lite
• Install the game (if autorun doesn't work - simply launch the installation from Setup.exe inside the disc)
• During installation choose "Custom Installation" and select new installation path in non-system folder, like C:/Games/Hannah Montana, so you won't have troubles with NoCD
• At the last installation screen uncheck the box "Launch the game now"
• After you installed the game install NoCD, simply copy Hannah.exe from the archive and put it into game directory, agree to replace original file
• Open the directory with the game and find Hannah.exe. Right click on Hannah.exe - Properties - Compatibility - Set "Run this app in compatibility mode with Windows XP SP3" and "Run as administrator"
• Launch the game and play. If the game doesn't work in compatibility mode with Windows XP - try to launch it in compatibility mode with other version of Windows (Win98, Windows ME, Win2000, etc.)

Notes:

• If the installation doesn't start - try to launch Setup.exe in compatibility mode with old version of Windows (98, 2000 or XP)
• It is recommended to install all versions of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for the correct work of the game. Also it is recommended to install K-Lite Codec Pack for the correct work of in-game videos
• The game works on DirectX 9, so if you're using Windows 8, 8.1, 10 or 11 - you need to enable DirectPlay: Go to Control Panel, and select 'Programs'. Select 'Turn Windows features on and off', click on 'Legacy Components' and check the box 'DirectPlay'. Select OK, once the installation is done, restart your computer
• European version of the game is using SecuROM DRM protection, you can use NoCD to play without the disc. But it seems that NoCD has some issues such as 3 unfixed SecuROM functions, as alternative you can use mini-image to "trick" SecuROM drivers and bypass disc check. SecuROM drivers still work on modern Windows even though it has compatibility troubles with some hardware. But luckily SecuROM drivers doesn't break the system as some other DRMs, so you can mount ISO image or mini-image in virtual drive (with Daemon Tools or similar app) to play the game
• Russian version is DRM-Free and has no protection, you don't need to use NoCD for that version
• When you run the game for the first time - go to Options and select the same screen resolution as that installed on your desktop. For some reason it makes the game to work better
• On some systems you may have bug with broken shadows or black textures. Unfortunately, there's currently no fix for that bug
