Looks like their wining the battle!

no. the games you talk about are starforce protected. this one is safedisc, it recognizes clonecd, and if you got that one installed, it won't boot up. if you only use alcohol, create images with sd2/3 profile and mount the images in the internal virtual drive, it works perfectly. but okay, it seems no one listens to me here *pops original disc in and plays* :-)

never had installed anything else than alcohol 120%, still can't play.

How do you mount images in the internal virtual drive? What is an internal virtual drive?

bierhuettl,

I have done this many times with alcohol and Deamon tools (latest versions). It works for some but does not work for others. I've NEVER had clonecd installed, and you would know this if you've read my previous post.

Here's a tip to all of you:
Never use Alcohol to mount/install games. Just to burn certain images.
The virtual clone drive does not fully support every type of image. As I've had nothing but trouble with it. So for your mounting needs, for the love of god, use Daemon tools.

Fade is crackable!

@Van Tokkern
G'day Mate, I will agree with what you say about Alcohol's virtual drives! I never even install them or Uninstall them as soon as ive installed Alcohol. They are a pain! But I never use Dameon Tools either! I either use a NoCD (if available) or just use the original discs.

montnoir still hopes someone be a chum and explains to him the virtual drive issue

montnoir has heard rumors that the UK version of bloodlines is CUT and edited. Is this true?!

[bierhuettl]

well, i use the virtual drive that comes with alcohol... never had problems with that one

[montnoir]

Ok got it working, didn't know what I did, just messed around using one of the GCW files (I think the iso one). Never had anything else installed than alcohol 120 and it's what i used now to "mount on the virtual drive". And the game runs no prob.

Is the intro decapitation in the US version, or just the sound like mine (UK ver.)?
