Game Launcher

[Jannick]

I'm still trying to disable the autoplay on the mounted cd but its not that simple, it seems.

I found serveral links on the net but most of them refer to regsetting like NoDriveTypeAutoRun but you have to reboot. I don't want to reboot

Is there anyone how has a COMMANDLINE program (or program WITHOUT GUI) that will do the trick?
I know its possible cause Tweak UI can do it, Alcohol can do this but only if you mount from within alcohol not explorer and offcourse for al the xp pro users; gpedit.msc (all without rebooting). I tried to automate the gpedit-method with registry.pol + gpupdate.exe but that **** doesn't seem to work.......

So i'm looking for a program WITHOUT interface (eg commandline) that lets me enable/disable the autoplay/autorun (and this for win2000, xp home and pro (i know, i'm asking alot))

Any help would be appreciated,
Jannick

just reboot, its gonna take what 2-3 mins for windows to load up again, hardly a crisis, and it'll take much longer sitting here waiting for an answer, to disable autoplay when u put a cd in just hold down the shift+ctrl key on the left side of the keyboard.. not sure if ctrl is needed, i usually do both

im launching a game, don't want to restart.
Try press shift in a program/script. Tried it; ain't easy, need for new thread. I've created a program that presses shift for 20 sec but i just don't know to which screen i should send it. Ain't explorer.exe....

thx

you're right, it ought to spell "c:\ggl" instead of "g:\ggl"
and as for gt legends;
you copied the right template but change security to "SF > 3.5" instead of "SF"
(doesn't matter really BUT keep in mind that you need to UNPLUG your power cable of your cd-devices!!!)
if this doesn't work; try changing SfnAta to 1 of SfnCh2 to 1.....
keep us informed...

[TimS]

okey i tried to do what you told..

changed security to "SF > 3.5" is that the only thing in my INI that is wrong? no other changes?

and then tried to change SfnAta to 1 or SfnCh2 to 1 but that didnt help.

it tells me in red that I should disconnect cable in red.. and I have done it..
when pressing Launch I get an Error window,

it says: Line 0 (File "D:\GGL\GLobal Game Launcher.exe"):
Run($Sfn)
Error: Unable to execute the external program
Cant find the source or searchway



what to do...

That error means that it can't launch sfn. From what i can see; you installed ggl on your d:\ but in your ini-file, the path to sfn is c:\.....
so move d:\ggl to c:\ggl or change path to sfn in ini-file

btw: i noticed that key Image of section Alcohol should be D:\Documents and Settings\TimmY\Skrivbord\gt\itw-gtl.mdf

[Jannick]

Okay, heres version 1.2
GGL v1.2

Extract to C:\GGL not to C:\GGL1.2 (or change ini)
- sorry, you need to remake your ini-files but its much easier.
- Edit Global Game Launcher.ini (it's the only file you need to edit for default image location and first alcohol device letter)
- If you have an amd pc, put your amd sfcure files in C:\GGL\SF Anti File System Blocker\sfcure
- Have fun
- Let me know what you think about it

but i guess it's still necessary to unplug drives!?

(i'm talking about GT Legends!)

i tested your utility yesterday and it worked with a not dpm-tested image i created myself.
but i experienced that the game starts and launches correctly (though i had a crash after 15 mins of gaming but i dont think this is about the protection) but you cant launch it a second time. you have to reboot if you want to play again.

another thing is that sfnightmare tool. sometimes (esp. when the game doesnt launch and exit properly) it messes up my dvd/cd-drivers so i cant burn cd's or dvd's. i dont know whos the author of this tool, but a "status" would be nice to all the options.

well. but it worked and this is what counts!
good job jannick!

IN YOUR FACE SF!!!

strange, looks like a gui problem.
- When do you get this error (clicking in the listbox of when launching...)
- Can you post a printscreen of your ggl
