Star Wars: Empire At War running with image

[Cornellian]

Hey Slon, thanks for giving me a hand... Yeah, the only virtual drive I have is the DT's, but I do have a drive to read all those memory cards & etc. so the drive letters are full up to K, with Deamon taking G; but I guess that shouldn't be a problem...

What did you mean by having an uncorrupted downloaded ROM? And when I re-install the game, should I mount my image with DT all emulations on, or would that change anything at all?

By the way, the company that makes Starforce protection says that any time you run a game that uses SF the program will automatically install itself and then run the game, so that shouldn't matter.

Drive letter shouldn't matter. I have mine on L. Basically, make sure you mini-image was downloaded completely with no corruptions. Perhaps check it with

?

Yes, have all emulation options on. Then, in CureRom, make sure when you edit the file, that all the emulation options are grayed (basically tells it to use whatever options DT has on).

As for SF, just make sure you don't uninstall it once game is installed.

Hi,

I can't provide help for the cd authentification errors, but I can help with those who have the "security module could not be loaded" problem. This has to do with files deemed eeviiil by the security of the game, and which are currently installed on the PC. I don't know which files are exactly to blame, but an issue to this problem is the following:

1) Log in to a new account (I use the guest account)
2) Mount your image file (I use the mini one, but the normal one should be ok) with Daemon tools v4.3 all emulation enabled.
3) Start the game with Securom loader.

Works 100% of the time.

Hope this helps !

%100 working for me :

1. Download Securom Loader 1.1 (updated 21/2/2006)
2. Mount mini or full image with dæmon tools v4.03, all emulations enabled.
3. run securom loader, choose sweaw.exe from data directory.

no need to account switch.

I used Game Jackal... Didn't use a profile map. During the "locate title" part I used sweaw.exe, NOT launchEAW.exe. For profiler mode, dynamic extended scan didn't work for me, so I tried Standard mode and it worked. Every so often, when I try to load the profile, it asks for the cd -- but then I disable the profile and try again and it loads the game up fine.

EDIT: Oh, and I have alcohol 120% and Daemon Tools installed with a virtual drive enabled and neither program is causing me a problem with Game Jackal loading Empire at War.
