couple questions regarding scanner/how to backup securom??
 

1. what scanner r u guys using?? cuz i cant seem to scan any securom games right with protection id

http://pid.gamecopyworld.com/

which is like 9 months old. i tried empire earth 3. it just says its securom 7.21 .. thats not even right ... i checked daemon tool forum's game protection thread, its something like 7.330014

2. i have alcohol 120, any tutorial on making securom/safedisc images?? what should i do to make the best image that mount by daemon tool/alcohol can fool those protections??? i have an external HDD, so i usually just make images and put it there and mount it with alcohol/daemon tool

thanx

how do these ppl scan the newest securom games such as Crysis/Empire earth 3/Timeshift

Maybe they are using private beta builds or know how to locate the version number?

Also, please don't post another question and bump the thread, edit your original post and put all questions together!

Use DT pro instead of alcohol then you can choose a default profile (securom, safedisc, tages...) and the correct image is automatically done! ;)

Safedisc DVD: no special settings needed
SecuROM DVD: tick Data Position Measurement (Precision: High), some drives aren't capable of doing a DPM or only at certain speeds

Here are some guides for Safedisc/Securom

You suggest to use another (not free) program only because it has predefined profiles also for DVDs ?

btw. we'll soon see DVD profiles in Alcohol ;)

DT pro is free

Alcohol is useless since DT Pro. Why should I use alc and DT if only DT Pro can combine all functions of both progs?
Just alcohol doesn't work cuz alc VSCSI devices can't be hidden by yasu 1.4.
DT Pro is also easier to handle for newbies.

btw: Alcohol 120% is not free.

alcohol 52% is tho

Yes, but Powercooler already has it. I forgot the free DAEMON Tools Pro Basic version with Adware (and as already mentioned: Alcohol 52% is free, too)

Besides the fact that YASU 1.4.7080 is DT exclusive there are no differences between 1.4.7080 and 1.3.7071 concerning Antiblacklisting capabilities ;)

I have different oppinion as long as DT Pro/Astroburn can't burn protected images.
The one and only advantage of DAEMON Tools Pro Basic compared to Alcohol 120% is the Tages Dumper, and it looks like latest Tages version 5.5.3.1 only runs in vIDE of DAEMON Tools Pro Advanced; but he asked for Securom anyway.

I see this discusion won't lead to an end ;D
I just wanted to say that I don't need to burn the images ^^.

yeha i use Alcohol to burn/make image, and Daemon tool lite to mount

i have Daemon Tool Lite 4.10 ... not sure where u can get that free Pro version??

so jsut high precision, thats it?? heh wow that was ez.. cool

so any tips on how to mount it. if a new securom game such as Crysis, Empire earth 3 refuse to launch , ie. "Please insert the correct Disc" or "Emulation software detected"

all in the faq.. i guess you didnt read it ;)

for newest securom (7.33 and 7.34) u need DT 4.06 and yasu 1.3 or gamejackal.

The FAQ is quite neutral about which CD/DVD drive hider software is the best; should YASU be placed on the top and all the others mentioned as also existing but not very useful (anymore)?

all others are pretty much dead, especially for newer versions of the prot...
pr0t.st0p etc are pretty much redundant, same for curerom, yasu seems to be the current 'favourite'...
