[Optimummind]

Here is what has worked for me--both with the release version and the patched version (v1.08).

*Programs used:

A120% v1.9.5.3823
DT v4.03
CureROM v2.0.3

This is what I did. I loaded Bender's mini-image into the one virtual drive I have acticated thru DaemonTools v4.03.

I used CureROM v2.0.3 to set a profile and launched the game using the desktop shortcut CureROM created for me. When I made the profile, I didn't click on any special settings. I just followed directions to link CureROM to the .exe file, emulation software being used, etc.

The game booted up just fine w/o any messages about detecing emulation software.

Interestingly, when I ran the game in this way (using the original .exe but using the mini-image using DT v4.03), the game didn't crash at the first cave (it used to crash when I used the no-cd file by Reloaded).

Even after the patch update, this method of starting the game continued to work.
