executable
 

Non of these things are helping me either, and im done throwing all this software on my HD, any news when a NO-CD by and executable will be out?...any news with the NOCD teams?

I can't see anything called "Antisecurom" there ... are you suggesting that it is a generic term for any of the securom defeating tools?
Cheers.

PS: I have obtained a copy of the mini-image and that starts the game 9/10 tries - which will have to do.
PPS: Incidentally, the (hard) copy I made of my DVD would run the game about 1/10 tries ... seemed to do so regardless of any securom defeating measures i was attempting. The image i made and mounted using DT4 would not run the game at all though - just told me it could not authenticate.

Got it working
 

Here is how i got it to work.
Load DT 4.03he, and mount your image (enable all emulation);
Load Curerom 1.31 select enable;
Start the game, after about 3 seconds click disable in Curerom;
wait abit and game should load. I tried it 3 time with success everytime.
I do get a windows error after closing the game, but no biggie.

Reset my computer, then did those things in that order. Works perfect now.

D-Tools and CureROM
 

Hey,

Thanks all. I got this game from Best Buy (DVD version), but it wouldn't play because I had Alcohol installed, which I use for archiving.

I didn't need to uninstall Alcohol, but using CureRom 3.1, setting the sweaw file to Windows 2000 compatibility, and loading the image in D-Tools 403 (no emulation options, or RPMS only) instead of Alcohol (which was unloaded) resulted in the image eventually loading, though it took a minute.

With the original dvd, it still took longer than it should, 30 sec or so, but I'm willing to live with that.

EDIT: After more testing, I was able to reduce loading times to normal (ie, 5-10 secs) with both original dvd and image by first starting CureRom in Lite-Mode, with blacklisting enabled. Then, with the image already loaded, I selected all emulation options (for some reason, just RPMS or RPMS and Securom don't work). I just clicked the shortcut created by the original install. This worked every time I tried it. (BTW, Alcohol is still unloaded).

Hey everyone,

I can't get the game to work, using DT4, curerom1.3b.

I have tried every technique, and to no avail. I always get "original disk can not be authenticated". Does this mean I have a bad image file?

Also, I got the game to run, once, when I first installed it. I made a curerom profile, ran without mounting, and when I got "insert cd/dvd" i mounted, and hit retry, and it ran perfectliy. This only worked one time, and now it won't. Why is that?

Thanks for the help.

Restart your computer. The same thing happened to me at first.

I was almost through the whole thread and nothing worked.
Then i remembered one thing that often helps with Starforce games. I disabled my PATA controller in the control panel of Windows XP.
Then it was working.
CureROM Lite was running also.
I tried a second time but it does only work after some tries. Still have to find the optimal launch procedure.
DPM failed in Alcohol120, BTW.

i installed the DVD version
updated for 1.2
mounted the mini image linked on this thread a couple of pages back on DT 4.03
set DT emulation all
targetted AntiSecuRom to sweaw.exe (runs the game automaticly from there)
the game will load up in about 5 seconds

enjoy

I did just that, after 4 days it worked!!! ONCE!!!! Now it won't work again. I was able to change video settings etc...

I've restarted and still get original disc not found. Why would it work 1 time and never again doing THE SAME EXACT THING!!!!!

1. Simply insert your backup into cd or dvd rom.
2. Install game.
3. After install finishes, leave CD-1 in the drive.
4. Do not run using the normal shortcut.
5. Download Securom_loader V1.0 at http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/down...Download&id=88
6. Run the .exe and open the "sweaw.exe" in C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Empire at War\GameData directory and it should work fine. It did for me.
7. If this doesn't work the first time you try to open, just keep trying...eventually it will work.
8. For some reason, mine works better while inserted into my cd/dvd burner.

Its kind of a pain but it works good enough until the no cd crack is released.
Plus you don't even need Daemon Tools or CureRom.

Cheers!

sorry
 

sorry das ich deusch schreibe aber ich kann kein englisch.

kann mir mal jemand ne deutsche anleitung posten (von DVD) wie ich das game zum laufen bekomme ,oder per pm schicken.(mit was für programme un so weiter)

What AntiSecuROM.exe is.
 

to all who dont know what AntiSecuROM.exe is or cant find it, its found under the name "SecuROM_loader" on gamecopyworld (where i got it)

At last, a direct answer to that question. Thankyou.
Redirecting to a page full of links that do not include the word AntiSecuROM would only be useful if we already knew what it was ... and now we do.
Cheers.

Finally Got The Game To Work
 

I got the fixed exe from the link posted then put those files into the game dir then i used demon toolz to load the fixed exe named EAW_1.bwt THEN excute the seaw.exe If you haven't already under the compatibility tab under properties of the seaw.exe click on the check next to "RUN THIS PROGRAM IN COMPATINILITY MODE FOR" change that to windows 2000 it should work had no problems once I did that any questions PM me will gladly help

so would someone be able to split that mini-image and up the parts please? 92 meg isnt fun at all to grab on 56k :(

Finally!

Got the game to start every time with the mini image.

1) Mount mini image in DT with no emulation enabled.

2) Create a CureRom profile with NO virtual drive software.

3) Double click the icon CureRom places on your desktop.

Tried that step by step and after a 20 second loading Curerom tells me that "The original disk cannot be found or authenticated. "(tried mini image linked on the forums)

Multiplayer doesn't work.

It will work if you bought the game and not get the warez. It works fine for me.

ok, tried it and it WORKED.

download:
http://cdmediaworld.com/cgi-bin/dl.cgi?f=CureROM_131_Setup!rar

just follow simple instructions.... I didn't beleive it was that simple!!!

and I didn't even waste a cd, I have my image mounted on DT 3.47, no sr7_stop, no prot, shmut or clut, just use curerom.

I usually ask the question but It feels good helping people

I use that exact method and it works about half the time. It seems as though this new version of securom is messed up, sometimes detecting emulation when there's not and not detecting it when there is. Look in the Lucasarts tech support forum, the largest thread(s) by far are dealing with the copy protection. Bottom line, until we get a fixed .exe, use trial and error. I have got it to work using curerom 1.31 and antisecurom 1.1 (separately, not in conjunction), but neither one works every time. Don't assume that because it doesn't work once that it won't work at all. Try several times with each (restarting the computer occasionally seems to help, but I could be imagining it). One thing is 100% true in my case at least, it doesn't like Alcohol 120 must uninstall and use DT.

Anybody who tried the Securom_Loader has their windows taken longer to load than usual?

After running Curerom Lite and exiting it afterwards, has anyone experienced a total system crash?

Yes, in fact I have disabled everything unless I want to run the game. Windows would load to my background, but it took far longer than usual to actually have access to Windows.

Yes. You have to disable, then exit. Also make sure you have the latest version. When it did it for me it was instant, as soon as I closed my system would reboot.

When I clicked disable, it waited for a while, then the window unfroze (I could move it, suggesting the proccess was over, disabled). I then clicked the X and every program on my computer crashed, AND I got the clock saying comp will reboot in x seconds. Win2k here. Is that the problem? Also, I couldn't download the miniimage. I tried practically every method and none worked, EVEN THOUGH the game did launch the first time I tried it. It's a paradox.

Well, things aren't so rosey here. Granted I can run the game every time without the disc, now my computer takes forever to load and for some reason, now I can't run MSCONFIG.

So yeah, instead of playing the game I have been fucking with for the last week, now I'll troubleshoot my PC.


Awesome.

Multiplayer won't work in a warez version.

If you want to play multiplayer

:mad: BUY THE GAME :mad:

could someone also please give me the link to the mini image, i hate to be a begger but i downloaded the dvd verison and i havent been able to do anything for 3 days of downloading :( also tried everything under the sun to make it work :( thx neways

Finally everything works!


Man I hope this game was worth the trouble.

Anyway, here is a link to the mini image, it's what got things working for me.

http://rapidshare.de/files/13757736/...IMAGE.rar.html

I just tried and was able to re download it.

Thanks. Downloading now. Hopefully will have some good effect. Also, did you fix your problems? Can you post your OS and the problems you said you were experiencing?

Damn! It just interrupted part of the way through and ended! Any chance you could hack it up for me and send it via hotmail?

DT4 and curerom
 

this one works you need to use curerom 1.3.1 and demon tools 4 for mounting

Help chop it up and send it to me?

Torrent perhaps?

Works fine for me...
1. Get a mini image
2. get curerom 1.31
3. get the curerom profile from here.

Without a problem 1st trial!:D

Looks like I found a decent torrent for it. Is it 92 megs?
