Star Wars: Empire At War running with image

[Muji-FightR]

You're right, there is no option to choose the copy protection (this is only available when copying CDs), well, then:
just create an image without choosing a protection, but be sure to have DPM data enabled (Messung der Datenposition).
Now you can just mount the image, sometimes (I never had to) you must use one of those crappy SR7 hide tools, but I guess you already know that

I run this game using curerom 1.3b but to all you who still can't run EAW with this program, try run curerom in LITE mode, than enable blacklist option - should works. I tried it on 2 difrent computers and it worked on both of them. I turned off my physical drive in computer managment panel but don't know if it is necessary. I made images from cd version.

Have fun, good game.

I cannot get it to work - tried really all!

It seems, there is a difference between the CD and the DVD version. The most f***ing shit is - on my Notebook I even cannot get the org. DVD to run - because it "finds" a Emulator Software and Virtual Drives. And I am not willing to uninstall other Software for it - so if there comes no Image or no CD within the next days, I will sell the crappy thing on ebay
If anybody has a working kind of Image, please send me a PM or link!
By the way - I found only the DVD Version here in german stores!

Thank you all!

Weird thing :/ Anyway i am not sure if it is ok but if you bought originall maybe you can download image files with what curerom will works ? Well I don't know if it is piracy. On the other hand if you have originall why you can't just use your dvds ?

Cheers

If I start from the Org. DVD the Software says after one or two seconds: "Emulator Software and Virtual CDs detected. Please uninstall and deactivate Virtual drives . . ."

He, I am not willing to uninstall Alcohol 120 or Virtual CD 6.0 just to play one game!

Ahhhh... "Org.DVD=origanall dvd" Sry my english is not good and I didn't understand it at beggining, well I was talking with my friend who has DVD version and he said that he doesn't have any problems with running it on laptop using curerom but he must run it in lite mode too. Make image files using Alcohol, than uninstall Alcohol and try run it using DT4 and curerom, we will see if it is alcohol problem.

only happens if you try and run it from the image, i seriously doubt that happens if you use your original, that and it doesnt exactly display that message now does it..., at least not using the words you cite

[Morglum007]

It does. Neither original runs once installed if Daemon/Alcohol is installed (Original disc could not be found or authenticated. Please insert original disc)

I had to use CureROM 1.3b in order to launch ORIGINAL DVD (testing from a REAL drive)

From image, it launches sometimes using the "Lite" option in CureROM, or just mounting in daemon and launching with SecuROM Loader.

Good luck!

Well, he's German (Sascha ?), and as German games produce German error messages, it's hard to guess the exact english words.
And i assume, even with inserting the original, the game will say, emulation software found. It will look for DT and Alc and whatever in general, not if the original is inserted or not.
I had the same problem with Spellforce, before I found out that AntiBlaxx would have fixed the prob, I had to create a new WinXP user account...
