Hi,i have a problem with the mini-image of this game...It seems that doesn´t work...When i mount it on Daemon Tools pro a message apears telling that it´s a empty cd...Where is the mini-image information then?
There is some kind of fix for this game that works?
Sorry for my english.

There is patch 1.1 for this game, so no crack for now.

1> Install the game - Full Installation.
2> Mount the NS-TW_SS-poseden.mds in a virtual IDE drive in DT Pro 4.10.
3> Play the Game!

The trial for DT4.1 wont let you mount to virtual ide drive, only option is to buy it. Is there anything else besides daemon tools, even something else that you have to buy, that will mount to a virtual ide drive?

the problem im having is, i can not create a virtual IDE drive on windowsXP x64.

dtools pro advanced:
Note:

1. vIDE is currently supported on all 32 bit platforms (x86) and on Windows
Vista x64; Windows XP x64 and Windows 2003 x64 are not supported;
2. Shell extensions do not appear on x64 platforms;

anyone know any other proggys that can create a virtual IDE drive xpX64?

armacham

26-10-2007, 15:00

I can confirm that this mini image works in windows xp32 using a virtual ide drive in DT4.1 pro with the 1.1 patch\hotfix of the witcher. I looked around a bit and couldnt find an alternative to DT4.1, and it unfortunately doesnt get along with xp64 as far as a virtual ide drive is concerned.

Hi, I've got a problem too. I've made a copy ;) of Wiedźmin (The Witcher) and I tried to use the dvd image provided by GameCopyWorld. First I had some problems with DT - crashes occured several times when I tried to add an IDE device but now its ok. Nevertheles I still cant lunch the game without my original DVD.

Is there a way to use this multilanguage release with my polish-only instalation? Is anybody working at polish version now?

targetlocked

26-10-2007, 17:29

would be excellent if someone made a no cd crack instead of this mini image crap

Makavcio

26-10-2007, 17:49

Crack is always postponed. IMHO mini-image is also better cuz you don't have to change any files and have no problems when patching. And I experienced several times lacks of updated cracked exes.

For "my" copy I would be glad to have polish mini-image.

Maybe the same group could make me one :D

The problem ppl have is that they use the "DT Pro" application to run it.
What you need is the "DT Pro Advance" application that hase the IDE option in it.

You can set the IDE drive by opening the Daemon Tool Pro menu and going to tools --> Virtual Device Manager, here you can press "start IDE adapter"

Anyhow it toke me a few hours to figure this out since all the read me files says you need to have just "DT Pro 4.10" and not that the IDE option only comes with the Advanced version.

Hope I save dyou peeps some time, enjoy the game.

I install the Daemon Tools Pro Advanced 4.10 in my Pc and create a IDE virtual device but when i mount the game image it doesn´t work (still asking the original dvd) maybe this is happens because i have the Windows XP Profesional edition with the service pack 2 and i think this version of Daemon don´t work on this operating system...What can i do?There is another program with i can create a ide virtual device?I´m really frustrated with this game...arghhhhhh!!!!!:mad:

I did create a IDE virtual Drive with DT Pro Adv 4.10.0128 and tried to mount the poseden-Image. Emulation-Options are all ON... :(

Well, so we just have to wait...

You are mounting to an scsi drive. You need to have Daemon Tools 4.1 full version, ie NOT the free one, and mount to an IDE drive. Also, you cannot use XP64, any other windows xp or vista should work fine.

ng-aniki

27-10-2007, 10:49

I think I know what was wrong with DTadv...

When you right click on the systray icon, and go into the virtual cd/dvdrom, look, you must just have a [scsi] drive, and the add ide drive is gray.

You have to double click on the icon, and in the main window, add an IDE drive. Then windows need to set up some thing, and the ide drive will be created.

DABhand

27-10-2007, 11:02

Those emulations are solely needed for burned copies, not for mounted images.

Funny that since the mini-image or full image I made wouldnt work without the Tages emulation on.

Shadowmeph

27-10-2007, 12:44

The Problem that I am having is that when I make the virtual IDE it doesn't show them at the bottom but it tells me I have the IDE loaded and when I go to mount them using the tray icon I get an error telling me that daemon tools pro advanced error driver 0 it doesn't so I then turn off the IDE and then reload it I get a message telling me that I already have the max amount of drives even though they are not showing up at the bottom lol I wished that some one could just crack this thing instead of using images.

1. Mount image in Daemon Tools pro
a) Install Daemon Tools Pro.
b) Copy the patch to folder where you install DTP and patch it
c) Copy dtpro.dat from
Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/DAEMON Tools Pro
to
Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/DAEMON Tools Pro (???)
d) Run Daemon Tools Pro Agent and make virtual IDE drive.
2. Install the game.
3. After installation mount a mini-image. Make sure that you click all emulations ON.
4. Install the 1.1 patch.
5. Play.

Well, it works perfectly for me.

A crack will come out soon. Hopefully before you finish the game.

what can i do?I try to do all the things that i read in another forums and nothing works.
My only hope its that someone release a working crack (pleaseeeeeee)

RabidWombat

27-10-2007, 18:47

So, I was having some of the same issues some people here were (I think), though with a different image, and a sort of weird thing made it work for me - I had just installed DT pro, but still had the old non-pro version installed as well. After much annoyance, just for fun I tried uninstalling the old DT and hurrah, it worked. People having problems with this might want to try that.

tbaher

27-10-2007, 18:52

Generally it is illegal to have 2 copies of the game running at the same time from the same license (1 purchase = 1 license) See the EULA for details.
This is why copy protection exists.

Try to see if the game runs with the original disk. Maybe the problem isn't related to the mini image. If it does run with the original disk, use the original disk.

targetlocked

tbaher

27-10-2007, 20:38

EULA stands for end user license agreement.

When you buy software, you don't actually buy the software. You are buying a copy and license to use it. Making a copy of software is illegal under current stupid copyright laws. To use a copyrighted work you must have a license (or a defence such as "fair use"). The EULA is that license. Violate it and your license is void. So yes, the copyright infringement police (international law .. stupid I know) will "kick the door down". In the meantime the forum police will ban him.

Yes copyright law is stupid but it is the law. Thank you for playing.

targetlocked

27-10-2007, 21:09

couldn't he just say he made a 'backup' copy when he first bought it because the disc could possibly get scratched or become worn out from being force to stick it in our cd/dvd drives everytime we choose to play?
That's what I would say, it's happened to me several times, not so much being worn out but accidentally dropped, then stepped on and broken.

tbaher

27-10-2007, 21:19

Yes he could have. But he already said he split it with his friend in a plan for them to both play (one has the original and one has backup copy)

Like I said, read the EULA. Sometimes just the act of making a copy of the software violates the license terms. I agree that you should be allowed to make a backup copy for yourself to prevent scratching.
If publishers agreed with this they wouldn't make copy-protection in the form of "please insert original disk".

If you don't like the law/rules you have free will. Break it, get banned/arressted. Or you could simply refuse to buy games that have horrible copy protection.

Let us continue this discussion in the off-topic board.

U dont need waiting for a crack if u want to play with latest patch, just do this:

Posted by ColdBlue from newtorrenst

Ok i managed to make this game working with Patch 1.1

All u have to do is:

-1- apply 1.1 Patch (backup savegames if u want)
-1- go to gamecopyworld.com, and dowload their CD image NetShow-TW_SS
-2- download Daemon Tools Pro Advanced Edition V. 4.10.0218 from here
-3- apply all 4 images in Virtual IDE CD in fallowing order (set all emulation on <green SafeDisc, SecuRom etc..)

a) NS-TW_SS-poseden.mdf
b ) NS-TW_SS-poseden.mds

then

c) ptn-twit.mdf
d) ptn-twit.mds

it should be like this > http://img230.imageshack.us/my.php?image=56475108za9.jpg

-4- double click TheWitcher in Virtual CD/DVD Devices, then choose ptn-twit.mds
-5- lounch game.

Maybe its simplier way to get this to work, but this is working for me. Im using XP 32 bit proffesional, dont know about other platforms, sorry.

And its working for me.

Sorry for my lack of understanding (and writing ;)) english: You say you've created image with Alcohol and burned a RMPS-copy to DVD9 ?

armacham

28-10-2007, 08:32

Why do people keep incriminating themselves in this thread? You can get your message across without mentioning warez.

There is no need to have two images mounted, the mini image from gamecopyworld and a virtual IDE drive in DT4.1 (pay version) is all you need. If it isnt working try redownloading the mini image, reinstalling the game, and making sure you are in fact making a virtual IDE drive. Test the virtual IDE drive you create with something else as well.

I dont think it even matters, but I dont use DT tray icon since I didnt want/need to install it. Try adding an IDE drive through DTPro.exe in the directroy you installed Daemon Tools to. You'll need to right-click at the bottom of the program where the default virtual SCSI drive is, and add an IDE drive.

Another thing that shouldnt matter: I use all emulation options except hide cd-r, they should only apply to physical media though like mentioned earlier. Any other problems are beyond my meager understanding.

Think about it, what is the benefits of reading RAW? Remember Amiga's and Blitz cables? Same idea in a way.

Tages is a good protection, but not that good, even that 1mb of secure 4kb each content around Track 4, not all of the time, but it is mostly track 4 they have a digital signature, or "organically", as they call it, encoded to work alongside the software.

Ive not met a piece of software that can totally burn a TAGES image successfully, but then again I didnt say I did burn it did I.

But then again your German and you lot always assuming too much. Its what gets you into trouble all the time, and you will believe everything thats told to you, and when someone does something different from what was taught to you its "OMG your wrong your wrong! Achtung Achtung!"

@DABhand
Should have read some other posts of yours before judging you a troll. Looks like the first impression i got in this thread was wrong ...though i'm no native german.
Sorry for that.

Do you agree, that some of your standard formulations are kind of vague so that average users like me could be unintentionally mislead ?

@Grumpy if I was racist I would have been calling you a Nazi for the last few years but I havent.

Its a fact about Germans unfortunately, they trust easily to start with then become stubborn on something they have been told.

Been like that the last 400 years in Germany/Holy Roman Empire. :P

So no I wasnt racist :D

Can't the mods just ban this prejudiced bigot? I'd vote for that.

@Zulu, DABhand: Again, without taking sides, stop it. This is your final warning!

I could have excused the first one by usage of bad drugs, the second one puts you straight on my personal ignore list.

And mods, please close this thread. It's getting ridiculous in the worst sense. :(
