Caesar IV - Mini-Image HELP

[TippeX]

1. Delete or reinstall Alcohol 120% - DON'T INSTALL IT'S DRIVER IN THE DEVICE MANAGER! Also make sure you're installing the LATEST version as this program is very sensitive to blacklsting.

huh? dont install the driver in device manager, how the hell is it going to work then?

2. Install LATEST (4.06 ATM) Daemon Tools, enable ALL options (DT will autoset anyways) & set it's letter PRIOR to the real drives (I've found this useful when having discs put in those)

Odd, when the dt developers on their own forum say you dont need to enable all the options, infact they recommend to turn them off

3. Install LATEST BlindWrite (6.0.0.18 ATM) & enabled EZ-Play (this is an anti-blacklister which works permamently).

actually ez-play is just blindwrites renamed autoplay driver.. it does not anti-blacklist as you state.. if you dont believe me right click on the driver and select properties .. see 'autoplay' mentioned?...

4. Open Pr0t.St0p & click Hide (it will mask registry entries of all SCSI devices including DT).
5. Launch PROCYON's Loader (also known as SecuROM v7.26 Loader) and select game's EXE
OR
Use the latest CureROM - it will create a special profile, which will fully automate mounting & launching process.

using multiple anti blacklisting tools is ...

Really a bad idea, they are all variations on a theme, and using multiple ones can only increase the chances of something bad (or unexpected) happening

Totally overkill method, and also ill advised...

Our forum FAQ also suggests ENabling all the emulation options. Do you think this should be changed now? Please, confirm. (Sorry, I don't have time to keep reading all the news around anymore... ) Thanks!

yup.. some snippets from their forum

"And, by the way, emulation protections are useless when using an image. DT decides alone what it wanna emulate"

"You should NOT need to turn any emulation options on when only using a Virtual CD-ROM/DVD-ROM Drive. That's really only for inserted CD's that you've made burned backup copies onto."

from one of their beta team...

perhaps it only applies for dt 4.x or above, but yep the faq might need updating joe
