why ironic i hear you ask...

well 5 star is NOTHING but a clone of daemon/alcohol, it uses the same engine, check if you dont believe me.. most of the 'other' emulation products out there are using the daemon/alcohol engine...

lol alcohol and daemon tools can only do cds

5star game copy does dvd

big differance mate

That's interesting. I used Alcohol to make an image of my BF2142 DVD which works fine when I load it into Daemon Tools.

Can someone confirm that you'll get BANNED by using the fixed exe?

wrong wouldnt it be a little strange if the 'parent' program (alc/daemon) can't do something a 'child' (ie: licensed and renamed) program can't, considering the drivers have the same functionality... you need to do some research mate..

banned from their server... possibly... really depends how the crack is done.. other cracks (warcraft 3 for example - gimpsrus) 'reroute' api calls like GetModuleFileName to the 'org' file, so checksums etc pass...

banned from this forum... only if you don't own the original game

Isn't there a way to reroute the api calls for securerom7 from
an .org file like gimpsrus & hellkiller did for war3 online play ?

[TippeX]

hellkiller copied gimps probably

method used ->

make entrypoint code, which reroutes getmodulefilenamea api and have it return 'filename.org' or whatever, so it opens and checks that file instead,
then have the entrypoint code jump to the real entrypoint... relatively simple task if you have asm experience...

@tippex


mate your wrong

with my DVD-RW disk

with alcohol i made a copy of quake 4 (since that has the same protection as bf2142 only its a differant build number like quake 4 is v4.5 and bf2142 is safedisk v4.7.


anyways to prove the point

i did a backup copy of quake 4 with rtms on and it didnt work (with alcohol)

then i erased the disk and made a backup copy of quake 4 again with (5star) on that same dvd-rw disk

and with emulation it works perfectly.

the alcohol backup i also tried emulating with 5star and it didnt work.

clearly 5star is much better for making backup dvd's

though alcohol is better for using images

firstly rw disks are not a good 'candidate' for testing copy protection signatures etc..,

secondly 5 star / gamejack cheat a little, their code can modify known protection versions (ie: not the latest, typically old safedisc versions and old securom) and they apply all sorts of 'tricks' to make the cdcheck pass - for safedisc they try faking the code so its like a 'no-cd' trick on safedisc, i know this because i know one of the developers, and making images is also hardware dependant so really you haven't proved your point at all

'same protection version'.. since when was safedisc 4.5 = safedisc 4.7? 4.7 has a lot of new stuff added...

hello magaschwanz!

You are from germany right? i also!
Im wonderring about that you are the only guy who can play BF2142 online with an image. Anybody else just have problems to start their games with an image. I have read all your posts und tried with the same program, but without any success!

@all

Is here anbody else who can play "bugfield" online without the original DVD?
thx for answering...

You answered yourself there, Alcohol tries to backup the entire disc, 5star does the same, but uses software emulation so you see it doesnt backup the game 100%.

Try your backup without 5star, does it work? course not.

All 5star is, is A120% and DT and VirtualCD(or similar) rolled into one, that is all.


EDIT: I see TippeX answered that already :P

Does anybody have a working mini image for BF2142?
Plz answer if you have...

[Powerfox]

Hey guys, I have been searching for an image of some sort but had no luck (And wondered why) This topic has answered my question of mini images not working but I have a problem - Basically, I dont have a drive that can read DvDs so I install all my games over the network off my brothers computer. This means that I need to find no-cd patches/images for every game I play pretty much. Is there any way I could make a full image over the network or something like that...Im able to access the DVD files so I could copy everything BF2142 needs to startup onto my computer if needed. Also, can anyone point me in the direction of guides on how to make a full image?
