I've been messing about with
Star Wars - Battlefield II to try and get my backup to run. Previously I've run into a lot of problem trying to get
F.E.A.R. to run too, so I'll share my experiences with you, so you might have less trouble then me at first.
When you start a Securom 7 game backup, most likely you will run into error messages. However, these can help you to figure out what goes wrong so that you take the next step to correct the problem.
Always create an image file with the latest version of Alcohol 120%. Be sure to create an .mds file during copying. Image at the lowest speed. This might be enough to get the game running without having to download additional .mds files or mini/maxi images.
When you start the game and get an error, look here:
Security module could not be loaded
The program is detecting your CD drive emulation software. Be sure to run a program to hide your virtual drive. Example: SR7 stop.
Please insert the original disc in drive X:
You still have a real CD drive available to the game. It will prefer ATA drives over the SCSI drive that for example Daemon tools is emulating. Run a program like Starforce Nightmare to 'disable CD' and with that hide the real drive from the game.
Please insert an original disc instead of a backup disc
Your game image is invalid. Please get another .mds file for gamecopyworld. Note that it's sometimes not clear if a .mds file on the site is from a CD or DVD image. Download them all and experiment with them.
If you have any additional info or if I made mistakes, please post corrections here.
