i mount my image that i made from my original but it says securom emulation detected etc and what does the New securom profile mean ? am i missing something ?.

I'm talking about latest DT Pro Advanced final version (as i already mentioned it is not working for everyone, but for the most) and the profile is in image creation dialog.

so i mount my image with this daemon tools using this profile?? or i have to make a new image using that profile and that daemons ?
(if that the case i didn't know that daemon tools allows you to make images of your dvds.)

you MAKE your image using that profile... and blazkowicz also mentions daemon tools pro advanced...

the free version (which i suspect you are using) doesn't have the image making feature...

Thank you for clearing that up about the Daemon Pro i guess ill either have to wait till someone comes out with another means cause i just cant justify paying for DTpro to play this game but thanks again atleast i know now .

OK, please forgive me in advance if I am being particularly dense and not understanding what I have read in this thread.

I purchased AitD a while ago (boxed retail DVD), installed it, activated it, and ran it. I played it briefly several times with no problems. I have been trying ever since to set things so that I could put away the DVD and continue to play the game. Here is what I have done so far...

1) Downloaded the No-DVD/Fixed Image File Archive from GCW and extracted the 2 files to a folder

2) Upgraded my DT to the latest version

3) Downloaded and installed Nero DriveSpeed 3.0

4) Downloaded and installed Y.A.S.U. v1.4.7080

5) Re-booted the computer

6) Ran DT and mounted the image file from GCW for AitD

7) Ran Nero DS and set the read speed of the drive the image was mounted in to 1x

8) Ran Y.A.S.U. and clicked on "Cloak" (got the response "SecuROM 7.x: 1 device(s) successfully cloaked")

9) Clicked on the desktop icon to start the game.

10) Was greeted after a few seconds with the message "Conflict with Emulation Software detected."

After this, I put the DVD in the drive and created a new image, which I saved to a different folder. I again rebooted the computer and tried running the game using the steps outlined above with the new image.

Is this a problem that I can resolve, or is this just not going to work for me??? I am at the point now where getting this game to run without the disk is more of a challenge than the game itself!

the only way at the moment that we can play the game without our original DVD in the drive is to purchase Daemon Tools Pro cause it has a way of making the proper image then mounting it under a certain securom profile that only exists in the pro version . im in the same boat is you so im just going to have to make do with my original disk in the drive all the time till another solution presents itself which im sure at somepoint it will .

What can i do to make AITD5 start?

Insert your original dvd or use self created DT Pro image.

i have latest version of DT Pro Advanced

when i get make a image from my original disk, i chose NewSecurom in Profiles.

the DT say:

DPM assosiated call filed
Disk imaging files


i make speed 1x , i have LG (HL/DT/ST) drive

I have XP may be need Vista?

Soy what i do wrong?

Well, with latest version do you mean which version exactly? Also which drive you exactly use. You could also try to open a thread in DT forum.

Well, i asked for DT version cause there are many users out who say they are using the latest one, but in reality they are using an outdated version.

Also create a thread in DT forum regarding drive support with more detailed information.

Enough offtopic - let's get back to topic - Alone In The Dark

Can you tell mi the steps to create a image with DTP? i´m new on this and i dont know how to make it. please, thanks you all, the people that dont konw abaut this safe with your knowledge.

http://www.daemonpro-help.com/how_to...isc_image.html

Just select New SecuROM as profile.

and get error about DPM.... because DTP cant reduce speed of u Drive...

And FAQ is a 2006? or 2005? its OLD and nobody wont renew this... because its no helping....

I think better try Alcohol 120.

Or buy new DVD drive which can read DPM correctly.

With new DTP i cant copy Bioshok disk... its old game now so... its sux

SORRI FOR OFFTOP but i need 2 say this because its a cheating.

Well, the help site is from 2008 and the renew process to latest version is in progress.

It's no cheating, your drive is just not correctly supported yet and Bioshock can be copied perfectly.

What about creating a thread in DT forum and describe your problem instead of complaining here.

here is any one who buy the game online?

sure, whats the question?

The thread has been cleaned of non-English and/or off-topic junk. I suggest that it stays that way...

...OK, an observation and related question:

Bioshock requires online activation just like AitD, yet it (Bioshock) can be started and played without the disk in the drive.

Why the difference???

There is no difference between both games (protection).
The only difference is the choice made by the mods of this forum: do not talk about cracks for this game since it has Online Activation.
If you buy the game you must have an internet Connection - I think the cover state that.
That's all.

i think bioshock was the start, which caused the rule to be made if i remember right...

Actually, I think Two Worlds was the one who started.

Two Worlds has Online Activation but was cracked in patch 1.2 with an Activation keygen (I think it was created by the group "razor 1911") because it was a proprietary system. Securom online activation (paul) is more strong and crack groups has a hard time trying to break it.
Relic also uses online activation but never update the protection after the initial release of CoH:OF. That why GCW still points to the original "rs.dll" (cracked by FLT) when a new crack comes out.

Took them two weeks for both Bioshock and Mass Effect to be cracked. Tages's Solidshield it's still tougher to crack. Sooner or later, the online activation will be cracked in a day, just like the other protections. I have both Bioshock and Mass Effect on my PC (just finished Bring down the sky DLC for ME and it was a very disappointing experience) and I must say I'm not gonna repeat the mistake buying AITD V. I pay for my games, but with online activation, I just pay for a product that will be useless after my 3 activations are expiring. I'm really not okay with that. At least Two Worlds had the decency not to limit your activations. AT AITD V you get a limit and a DVD check. If they don't follow Bioshock's example and remove the activation limit, they won't see my money. As for mass Effect, i just couldn't resist to a Bioware game, but I still don't like the limit on the activations.

The 3 activations are nothing bad, once up you just apply for 3 more etc.

If you have given your game to someone else and they have activated the game etc then you will probably not get the 3 without a very very serious excuse.

i pacht to game but not opening this game please help to me this problem


right now thanks

@efsanera - wrong portion of the forum to post, what you have done is effectively hijack the thread... but well, lets help you... (just don't do it again)

1. does the problem happen if you use the original exe and the original disk?
2. does the game crash, give some error (if so, post it) or just magically exit?

(Wrong forum, posts moved into the appropriate thread.)

odd, i still see them here joe :)

Isn't this the Alone in the Dark thread?
well... that was a ghost move performed by Joe :D

(Those two posts were moved here from the CD-2-DVD forum; they were off-topic there.)

someone has problems with sound? the voices do not go in Spanish ..

I can you install the game without internet connection and if yes how?
