Imperial Glory ...unknown protection...

[Jeffstaine]

Hi !

Is anybody familiar with the protection of Imperial Glory/ DVD Pyro. I scanned several times by using several tools (clony, protectionId, aso.) but the signiture of protection isn´t recognized.
It detects virtual drives and hasn´t a starforce protection. To me it seems to be a new kind of securom or safedisk or protect-cd detection which isn´t known so far.

L8er on

securom v7 ^^

Fix it by using Anti-Blaxx

[Azkatari]

has anyone managed to run imperial glory? via anti blaxx or whatever else

[Niko76]

It works flawlessly with Anti-Blaxx, mounting mdf image (with RMPS) or running burned dvd into optical unit. No problem at all !!!

[Azkatari]

damn that's what im doing won't work for me

[Jeffstaine]

...so what do you have to do ?

1st. Doing an Image with alc120 in combination with rpms from the org. disk
2nd. Burn the whole thing onto your dvd-media, of course also with rpms.
3rd. Start DemonTools with rpms emulation

And keep in mind: The slower you burn, the better it works.

Start game, should work fine...

This procedure is infact for the german DVD-version.

I think there is also a 3-CD Version existant of this game. It would be nice if someone could post if it also works the same way with the game disk.

Besides: With this procedure you will be able doing copy´s from your original master, you won´t be able doing backups from copy´s. So it´s just a hint for those of you wanting to find a way doing a backup from their expensive master.

Enjoy!

hi

i have version 1.16.
do you have the same settings i have written above?

[heerofox]

I tried using the ImperialGloryDemo.exe in the actual folder, and it ran the startup graphics (eidoes, pyro, etc) but then the game closed. Dang!

Ive tried everything you guys have said and no dice, keeps saying to insert the original disc.

Edit: This is for everone that cant get it working, FINALLY i got it.
Here's what I did...
At first i tried everything everyone above tried, then tried the demo exe then i uninstalled anti blaxx.

I was bored several hours later and decided to try again. Downlaoded 1.16 Anti Blaxx again, enabled all emulation on Daemon (was already done) but I also enabled ALL OPTIONS (right click, click options) in daemon tools.
I then opened Anti Blaxx, went to Setting and just input the target exe (which i pointed to the exe coming on the image from daemon). No mount image, no nothing else. I didnt even tell anti blaxx where daemon.exe was located. And I hit run game on anti blaxx and was surprised to see eidos pop up. Good luck

So do you need to burn the DVD for this to work ????
