Well Farshid, If u updated the game then ull find that no mini or maxi image will work. Nor will sr7. But u can still play with the v1.0 exe. All u have to do is add the exe to the directory and make a shortcut to the exe so u can start it from the desktop. The bad thing is that when u start the game with this exe NONE of the update fixes will be present so youll be basically playing v1.0.

jrwriter, thanx for the reply bro! I read your post before mine, and I completely hear what you're saying, but I guess that that's where my problem lies... I've put off playing this game till the second patch came out, hopeing that they'd fix the problem that many users on their official forums have been having, including the fact that many peeps, like myself, with the original DVD can't play because of issues with SR7 not recognizing the rom drive or the DVD itself as valid. I've done everything in my power to try and remedy this problem, including upgrading my drive's firmware, etc., but nothing seems to work. That's why I hope a no DVD crack designed to work with, as opposed to around, the second patch will come out soon. Either that or some clever way to get around needing the DVD in the drive. Either way, I'm tired of waiting to play a game that came out months ago

When I was using an image to play, I had to use Alcohol 120% and not Daemon Tools. For whatever reason, DT just wouldn't work, but A120% had no problems whatsoever.

I did not realise the crack bypassed the update......maybe I'll go back to using an image (or just use the original disk ).

Rayder, prob is, with this new patch, disc or no disc, it doesn't seem to work at all for some people...

[Rayder]

Hmmm...yeah, just discovered that myself.....worked with patch1 though....


Bummer.

Yeah, I hear u man, It might be better to wait for a v1.1 exe that works with the update than using the 1.0 cracked exe that bypasses the update, like ive been doing. From what i heard the company added an updated securerom to the update patch. And this seems to be having probs on everyones computers. I tried everything myself after updating and it was still detecting an emululator when i used the legit exe, so i just got tired and put the v 1.o cracked exe, and played even though it bypasses the updates. The downside was that i didnt have any fixes and the Game is full of bugs, From lighting, to the menu, controls, shadows, i mean wow, the 1.0 version is just full of sh**. So i totally agree with u, just wait alittle longer and hopefully a new cracked exe for the updated version will come out so u can play with the fixes the update offers.

Thanks for the reply geokou72, but unfortunately, that's a Maxi-Image for the Euro version of the game, and only applies to getting the game to work after the first patch, not the second, as the Euro second patch still hasn't been released (as there are some people on the offical Atari forums really pissed about that too).

And jrwriter, thanx for the thoughts and understanding bro, now if only we had a way to contact those with the means to do something about it, I wouldn't feel so helpless :/
