Yes I did notice two folders in my docs, one saying demo, I tried swapping files over, now I have messed it up, I would need restart game over, I aint bothered, I can wait for new patch to let us save more as I see on the games official forums peeps are compalining about way game saves.

So are you telling me this crack was for a demo, dont make much sense to me. :confused:

Emulation Software Detected - possible workaround
 

I found out the following:

Problem:

- install game
- apply patch 1.1
- nodvd cracks dont work stable - skip them
- mount either mini-image or "real" image with DT403 (http://www.daemon-tools.cc)
- start game with newest securom-loader (get it from here )
- getting "Emulation Software detected (or something like that?)

Solution (for me):
- start the old hitmanbloodmoney.exe (save or rename it before applying the patch 1.1) via the Securom loader - even if it may crash - don´t bother
- now retry starting the new exe from patch 1.1 with securom loader
- it should work

It seems that you have to repeat this steps every time after a windows restart. If your just hibernate your PC you don´t have a problem here.

happy killing,
schim

Doesn't work for me, there must me new securom code in the updated exe...

Here is the way i did it:

-Patch to 1.1
-Open DT4.03 and turn off all emulation and mount game
-use x200x-hbm mini-image if you do not want to make a copy of your game
-Run Pr0t.St0p v1.0 and hide drives
-Run ASR and select hitmanbloodmoney.exe
-Play the game

Just make sure to restore your drives with Pr0t.St0p when you are done.

You said "Run ASR and select hitmanbloodmoney.exe" what is ASR? is that Securom Loader 1.2? Please help because I am trying to run hitman blood money for last 2 weeks. I could run without the 1.1 patch though, but when I quit the game it just freezes and I have to restart my computer every time. I was hoping that 1.1 patch might fix this problem.

I can run the game with reloaded no cd fixed exe with patch 1.1 but when I quit the game it freezes. So I am now trying to use mini image with patch 1.1. Does anyone have solution for this. I can run game smoothly but when I quit game it freezes. My PC is P-4 3.0 Ghz, Ram 1.0 GB, Graphics card 6800GS with forceware beta driver 91.28. Audigy SB with the last driver release from creative.

I have run every game on my PC smoothly, but facing lots of problem with this blood money

This worked for me:

-Install game
-Update to 1.1
-Use DT 4.03, no emulation, use either game image or mini image
-Copy the original "hitmanbloodmoney.exe" from the game DVD/game image and replace it with the one in your game folder on your computer
-Start the game using the latest securom-loader

Are you, guys, aware of the OFFICIAL no-CD patch for version 1.1, directly from Eidos?

eh? have you been hitting the bottle again joe ? :)

See it for yourself on GCW. (And, thank you, but, while I'm not abstinent, I don't like alcohol very much either...)

I think fixed exe that you are referring to is for the demo version. Its been discussed before.

Sorry, I might have been superficial as I'm not interested in this game. However, if that "official no-CD patch" is kind of a fake, please, report it in the GameCopyWorld Support forum and request its removal so that other people don't get confused like me...

must be some drug then :P hehehe or old age :)

ASR is Securom Loader 1.2

You need to make sure though that you do not have alcohol 120 or any other emulation software running. In my case i had to fully uninstall alcohol 120 for it to work, but i barely used that software anyways.

Thanks you guys
 

Thanks guys I will try all steps dicussed in here, if fail, I will have to wait for the next patch or throw away the DVD.

I also was getting the 'emulation software detected' message too(with the patch 1.1 which i can barely play without), so i uninstalled nero and daemon tools(the only things related to cds/dvds in my windows), ran regcleaner and deleted anything that had something to do with cd/dvd (even from the startup registry part), installed the daemon tools again and used the x200x-hbm image, better exited the DT tray icon and ran the asr loader and it worked. As i see it, it's only a matter of a clean looking registry. If ur desperate u can install second windows for the game and u shouldn't have a problem with a dirty registry.
Other way which is not a too satisfying solution is to use the so-called 'no-cd crack 1.1' and savegames from GCW which you'll put in that demo folder. This way u can play all missions but u won't be actually able to finish one mission and get to the next.
