SimCity: Societies Update #2

[pluckcitizen]

So far there isn't a no-cd patch out for this version. I tried the mini image on DT 4.11 with and without YASU, but it failed to work. Anyone else having this problem?

[Beav]

yes, doesn't work for me either, and 4.06 won't read the mini image... is there any way to force 4.06 to mount an image it doesn't understand?

[Zulu]

yes, doesn't work for me either, and 4.06 won't read the mini image...Poseden Maxi Image was compressed with DT Pro Image converter and therefore can't be used with v4.06.
I've redone Posedens image with Alcohol 120% and patched MDS file.
Now it can be used with DT 4.06.

I believe the security was updated with the patch, so poseden's and zulu's images do not work with 1.2

[Zulu]

I believe the security was updated with the patchIt updates to same SecuROM version as FIFA Manager 08 Update #2 - which works with v4.06+YASU for some.

[pluckcitizen]

Thank you for bringing this to my attention Zulu, I tired it with 4.06 and it worked!

[Beav]

thank you Zulu! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm prompted with (attached image) the following error. Anyone get the same?

[Joe Forster/STA]

Nothing can be read on that picture; don't attach it, upload it to some site.

[Maasu]

Any known progress with getting around the new securom protection? Or do I have to install the older Daemon Tools 4.06, as it won't work with the newest (4.11), even with YASU.

[abex]

STA,

I sent u the error pic via email under the same subeject as my title.

Here what it says:

Game Exception

Unhandled exception: Unable to find a valid device
Type: class TMill::Common::Exception
File:C"\sc5enginework\source\engine\dxdevice.cpp
Function: TMill::Engine::GetBestDeviceId
Line:599

Thanks and an Happy new year

@abex
I assume your graphic card isn't supported.
Which model do you have ?

[abex]

@Zulu

Intel(R) 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller

Thanks

No way with that, sorry.

Always when you experience a problem using a mini/maxi image or crack you try your original disc and original game EXE, if the problem is still there then it's a game bug and needs reporting to the developer.

i know it's the easiest solution but it's impossible to find the original disc here (turkey) if there was one, i would already buy it :D isnt there another possibility? :confused:

I'm really surprised there isn't a fixed executable yet for this update. Not that I'm complaining as its not difficult to load the image, but it'd just be more convenient otherwise.

Reporting success with DT 4.06 + the mini-image posted on page 1 of this thread, thank you! :)

[Radegast]

It's not working for me either with Poseden's nor Zulu's versions of mds.
I am using Daemon 4.12 w/ YASU 1.4.7080.
Any clues?
EDIT: I'm getting message: Emulation software detected

[Joe Forster/STA]

Try Daemon Tools 4.06 and uninstall CD/DVD emulator/mounter/editor programs (read the PC Games forum FAQ for a non-comprehensive list).

[Radegast]

Works with DAEMON 4.06HE x64. :D
Thanks for your help.

BTW why the latest DT doesn't work with this?

[shanehansel]

I tried with DT pro (lastest version) + YASU and did'nt work.
The dt 4.06 can't recognize the poseden image from gamecopyworld. I don't know why people say that it works with that version. What is the real mini.image that one has to use? I tried to redone the image with Alcohol and didn't work either. I use Vista.

[Radegast]

There is a download link in Zulu's post on the first page of this thread. Try this image. I missed it at first too ;)

[Duckass_123]

Hi everybody!the zulu's mds doesnt work for me with dt 4.06,i dont know what to do please help me

[Zulu]

@Duckass_123
Are you using YASU ?
Which error message do you get ?

[Duckass_123]

yes im usin yasu,i just have the message : conflict with emulation software detected.I tried dt pro,dt 4.06 with or without yasu,poseden mds,its always doesnt work!

[Joe Forster/STA]

Do you get the same message with your original CD/DVD? (If so, read the PC Games forum FAQ.) Also, try the latest Daemon Tools 4.11.2.

[Duckass_123]

i dont have problem with the original cd(i have to share it with my two bro,its always a mess to play it)but when i try to mount the zulu's mini image in dt4.06 or 4.11,i have the message : "invalid image".With dt pro i have the message i said previously.I did everything that it say on this thread without result.im really doomed!
