I'm going to ressurect this topic ;D
I've just patched SOA successfully (without using any of the tips listed here, only used the manual that comes with the file) and it's running with some problems:
1- the sound is weird (but again, it's not a DC so I think I can't really make any comparisons) and sometimes you can't really listen to the music (comes back to normal after screen changes)
2- the colors are stupidly dark (yep, I checked other games, it's the only one)
3- sometimes there are missing polygons (ie: you can see inside a ship or through the clouds while flying the ships)
If someone can give me directions on how to solve at least the dark colors problem I'd be happy.
Now some minor bugs I've noticed:
a- the subtitles change from english to some unknown language (it USUALLY comes back after the scene changes, sometimes a restart is needed).
b- you get stuck EVERYWHERE... That moonstone mine glitch can be felt everywhere (you can even get stuck in nowhere - like, there is no wall or object and you get stuck)... I thought about trying to use the same strategy of the mine and it worked on all cases.
If someone reads and answers this topic I'd appreciate if you send me an e-mail warning (

Oh yeah, you just CAN'T use any other versions of Daemon Tools to patch... I've tried many and only 3.29 did it without further problems xD
Also, using short folder depth is wise and, if you have problems patching both CDs, try patching only one then the other... Worked here.
Hope someone sees this ;D
