This was happening to me and I was able to sort it out. You must have the patch compatible with your game version or the emulation error will occur. Evidently there are two versions, each one calling for it's own unique patch. You would think the patch would fail to install if you have the incorrect combination but this is not the case.
If you purchased a retail box King's bounty with the Atari publisher then you want patch 1.65. Make sure the patch does NOT say "Nobilis" anywhere in the name. Otherwise you want patch 1.70, the Nobilis version.
I bought the retail game and being the none the wiser assumed that the 1.70 patch was what I needed (the latest number). That version only comes in Nobilis which I downloaded off a random hosting website. After installing that patch I received the emulator error.
Uninstall the game, reinstall it and then apply the 1.65 patch. AtT any rate, just make sure you do NOT use the Nobilis patch if you did not purchase the game via download or the Nobilis service. If you did, then use the Nobilis patch.
Hope this helps.
