DABhand 12-02-2007 12:48

Do you see the nfo

" 4> Use Alcohol 120% make image from the virtual drive, now run the Game at once."

Run the game when Alcohol 120% begin making image, not wait making image over


BWT:sometimes i only use Alcohol 120% & yasu, the game worked

i did like said u nfo, but still, i get error 1000, perhaps its for the image of backup

poseden 13-02-2007 01:58

I found sth

After i installed Supreme Commander, i can play UFO afterlight only with yasu+DT4.08+maxi-image.

GabriellTheArchangel 13-02-2007 03:30

As i see you trying to shoot out secrum with not giving him any sys resources?Its a good idea,but if u got a good comp its not gonna work i think

luck555 13-02-2007 06:28

yeah my comp si good, so when i do the image and launch the game, still the error

KampferZeon 13-02-2007 08:37

Reduce Priority "may" help
 
Hi,

Reduced UFO.exe Priority From High to Normal, when doing the copy files method seems to improve the success rate

TippeX 13-02-2007 08:47

copy files method?

GabriellTheArchangel 13-02-2007 14:02

well seems u r all desperate...just wait for the proper crack...

Perhaps you should calm yourself down there kid.

And read the rules and see why I said not to help them out.

GabriellTheArchangel 13-02-2007 15:59

My point was,if u don't have something useful to say then don't say anything kiddo!

DABhand 13-02-2007 17:55

I think others would disagree.

You have only been really here a short time, and only really active recently.

But yet you act like you have been here for years. Or that you own the place.


AGAIN

Read the rules.

When someone comes in and doesnt give information on much only they are trying things, they are dubious and this forum doesnt help warez users.

So they are caught out, and he was.

"well i played a bit, when i got working"

If he had the original there would be a high percentage chance it would be working, but since he was talking about a mini-image to play the game which he eventually got working, he was a warez user.

And you continued to help him. Which isnt much liked here. Neither is flaming someone.

Joe Forster/STA 13-02-2007 22:04

People, stop flaming each other...!

JoeBobBoe 15-02-2007 06:53

Can someone help me with the instructions listed on gamecopyworld for using the mini-image. I mount the image with the newest DT, and then run YASU. But i'm not sure what the instruction want me to do with the image and Alcohol 120%.

It says, "Use Alcohol 120% to make an image from the virtual drive, now run the Game at once."

From which virtual drive? The one from DT? Or a new one using Alcohol? I've tried it different ways but I can't get it to work. Can someone please explain how it works for them? Thanks

fxingworkdamit 15-02-2007 09:45

Okay, this is a little complicated. I don't know what combination of stuff works but... here we go... Hopefully you don't have to spend 6 hrs plus getting it to work...

1: Update SPTD 1.39 (included in latest DT) to 1.40, (Don't know if this even matters as I had it working ONCE before this)

2: Mount the Maxi-image with DT (Daemon Tools) I think you can with Alcohol too but as I said, this is what works for me.

3: Use YASU (latest)

4: Open Alcohol 120%, at the top left hand there is a button to make an image. Many believe this to be a form of loading down the virtual drive. Make the image of the drive with the Maxi-image mounted, any name, just get it to start.

5: almost immediately after step 4, run the game normally.
It might take 2 or 3 tries but it should work. Afterward you can cancel the image by alt-ctrl-delete. It doesn't matter if you let it go though, you can just delete it later.

I hope this works, might take a bit of tweaking, and I find multitasking with Afterlight can cause it to crash after a bit. ( though I haven't played enough to figure it out completely. ) Looks like a good game though. Last UFO I played was Apoc. It was awesome while it lasted.

Why make another image of an image, surely the original is better to make with.

fxingworkdamit 15-02-2007 10:35

Sorry, I should have been more clear. The image being made is important, it's a strange thing I've never heard of till now. From what I understand the securom version isn't bypassable yet. Even with the newest version of load securom, it still didn't work for me, but this did. The file copy method is similar in that the virtual drive is loaded down and somehow (damned if I know why) it just lets it go, either because the verification timed out, or magic elves make it this way, I dunno.

The image itself isn't important, but the fact that the image is being made while securom is verifying IS. Hope this helps. I'll be back if not.

JoeBobBoe 15-02-2007 14:21

Thanks for the help. I tried it several times, but still couldn't get it to work. Am I doomed to have to wait for the no cd crack?

MrPFox 15-02-2007 15:07

First off. I might be new, but spamming a thread with complaints that are nothing to do with the thread, is utterly annoying. Grow up or have someone delete those comments. :confused: (Thats primarily directed at Gabriel)

Bought a copy of the game a few days ago, slight struggle to get it going as my DVD drive decided to die so I tried an image from another PC. I finally managed to get it going by just messing about with procyon,asr,Yasu pr0n.stop and anything I could get my hands on. Random chance got it working for one evening... This morning it was buggered again. (I mean the "insert the original disc instead of a back-up (1000)" error)

Scoured the net for hours to find a solution until I read "fxingworkdamit"'s post....WELL DONE! :D It worked, took ages to load up but it did work.

Joe Forster/STA 15-02-2007 15:28

Procyon is the new name of SecuROM Loader (read the forum FAQ and see GCW's CD hider utilities page) as well as one of the brightest stars on the sky (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procyon).

GabriellTheArchangel 15-02-2007 15:55

ok..
Guyz,i got 1,and its not including copy methods then pray ,and run around with vodoo dolls so maybe u can get this thing working.
Simply replace the exe with the 1 from the demo,i've tried it on my two comps,its working on both(1intell 1amd) so its not supposed to make any problems,but there is 1 little tinny catch,the ten day limit from demo stays...hope it helped a few ppl out

JoeBobBoe 15-02-2007 16:28

Wait, i'm confused. Is procyon just the newest version of securom that is listed at GCW? Cuz that version is 6 months old. Anyone have a link to the newest version?

fxingworkdamit 15-02-2007 16:36

Sorry it doesn't work for everyone. Also good idea with the demo .exe. I never thought of that.

JoeBobBoe 15-02-2007 17:48

Yah, the demo.exe loads the game. Great find. But, I gets various error messages at different times -- though it does seem to work overall. Just the ten day limit isn't fun

DABhand 15-02-2007 19:54

My only suggestion for you guys is to continue using your original for now, until a more workable solution is found.

procyon loader is simply a modified asr (anti securom loader), they deserve no credit, as its a simple binary patch, and the code was technically 'stolen', now in their nfo's they state to use the 'tools provided', with their latest releases that has been yasu 1.07, so yeh procyon loader is out of date, daemon tools people made a new version of asr, which i haven't tested, you could try that but it seems most people are happier using yasu, and curerom seems dead in the water too...

GabriellTheArchangel 16-02-2007 02:32

the 10 day can be skipped easily,once in 10 days modify the registry...easier then every time start to try making the image maker magic of 'em:)

TippeX 16-02-2007 02:53

modify the registry? any more info on that?

GabriellTheArchangel 16-02-2007 04:51

nope not really i don't think i'm really capable of doing it,u on the other hands got more skills...:) only need to remove the 10 day limit from the exe,then it's working as a full crack

TippeX 16-02-2007 05:16

but u said it could be moved easily.... i thought from that you actually tried it..
and yeh i could do it , but im a good boy now... have to be sadly

dajunka 16-02-2007 05:30

THIS WORKS
First mount image with DT, then run YASU, now copy "Dat3.cab" from image to desktop, while Dat3.cab is copying wait about 3 seconds, then click play. This seems to work for everyone. :)
Afterwards just delete Dat3.cab from desktop.

You should only have to do this once, after that UFO al will run everytime without the copying of the Dat3.bat.
Dont ask me why it works but it does.

raven_g20 16-02-2007 05:50

can any1 upload the demo .exe somewhere?? downloading the huge demo is time waisting...many thnx

GabriellTheArchangel 16-02-2007 05:55

sure,just tell me where 2 send it,its 11.8 mb BTW the only error i saw,when u r exiting,and this is fine with me:)
