ok, I've download it and read the (tiny) help file.
I've tried it with demon-tools 3.47 changing the default name for the scsi port and it didn't work.
I've tried it with latest alcohol 120% (v1.9.5b2802) and it didn't work too.

So, wft ?

PS : now i got a virtual cd which is permanently present after uninstall of all this softs and a reboot, so THANKS A LOT !!!

Hey not my problem your too dumb to figure it out!

Instead of being sarcastic to me, seing as I cant be here 24/7 and type out lines of text to help everyone. I tried to help you get it running from your backup.

Now you can set Anti-Blaxx to not run on startup if you bothered to change settings.

Also You cant run the game with both Alcohol and Daemon Virtual drives on at same time.

Disable alcohol if you want, keep daemon running. When you mount the backup image, enable the emulation on daemon and close the program and keep all emulation running when asked to do so.

Now load up anti-blaxx, tell it what protection you want to use and point to the game exe and give the setting a name, then run the game via anti-blaxx.

It should run.

It is that easy.

Again dont start bawling and shouting at me for trying to help you. Not my fault you cant understand how to work it. Is that what you people do all the time, someone recommends something you fire it on and you go mad cause you cant work it? Did you even sit and try to work it out? No?

If this is all too much, there is a no-dvd on the GCW.

he you think I'm sarcastic ? Do you really know what that word means...

Your last answer was sarcastic... I'm not a newbie. I'm in the party for 10 years now. I've already done all you said before (and before you said it in your last answer !) as I wrote in my last post and the fact is : it doesn't work. That's all. I know there's a no-DVD, but I don't like no-DVD. And I confirm that now, with demon and alcohol and anti-blaxx uninstalled, there is still a virtual dvd-reader and I can't remove it (and now that's my problem n°1 !).

@frisk
Hmmm, I fail to see how Dabhand was sarcastic? Whereas your 'THANKS A LOT' comment was definately being sarcastic! The advice/help you were given was fair advice? It wasnt sarcasm?
Re-install which ever program created the virtual drive, then you should be able to remove it, then if you want you can uninstall the program again if you dont really want it.

Allready done, but it doesn't work. The virtual drive name is "Generic..." so I think it's the demon-tools one.

And you were right finally, last DABhand answer wasn't sarcastic, it was arrogant and insulting.

@frisk
?? You have lost me?? Cant please everyone all the time!

[TippeX]

generic can also be alcohol, not surprising cos it and daemon tools are close, and you say when mounted in alcohol you got the 'wrong disk inserted' message and not the emulation detected msg?, i'd also suggest that you and dabhand stop the pissing contest as its really achieving nothing for either of you

You reap what you sow.

I offered advice you took the anti-blaxx option, I didnt bend your arm backwards to install it.

Besides I have not had any problems installing and uninstalling anti-blaxx.

Therefore it must be something else.

You were sarcastic with your THANKS A LOT, which made me respond the way I did.

I even went as far as offered more advice, if you think thats insulting then more fool you.

I've been reading through all the posts in this thread but couldn't find an answere to my question. If there is one it would be very kind of you to tell me where to look. thx.
I got the german version of Gta SA and I am using the Hoodlum crack for ALL.
It's been working completely fine for a week. (No problems at all) yesterday eve I played (mission where u gotta save sweet under the brigde and where u are then taken by Tenpenny and u gotta destroy some evidence and take photos of it. First time u can get out of Los Santos I think). I went to grove street and saved, quit the game n watched some dvd on my pc. Today I wanted to start the game as I do always and it simply doesn't start. It seems as if it's trying to (that little sandclock of Windows appears for a short time) but doesn't do nething more. I've been trying all day to fix it without any results. (reboot, reinstalling the crack, so on n so on) might this "Crash fix patch" additional to the crack work?
I got no Idea, thx if u can help me

I've read the board rules ( look at the 7th ) : No flaming or insulting other board members. I don't see "forbidden to be sarcastic" . Now when you say that "I'm too dumb" I think it's insulting, isn't it ? And I don't know what "fool" means exactly ( maybe because I'm too dumb ) but it sounds insulting too... I've read a lot of posts from you on this board, and what I saw is that you like when people get banned for breaking a rule so why don't you report this ?

And before I get banned , I think there's a localization issue with the mini-image : it works with US version of GTA SA, not with the FRENCH one... as said before, I get a "wrong disc inserted" message, not an "emulation detected" message.
