When I run it, nothing happens. I get the Windows hourglass, but YASU doesn't actually start up. If I look in Task Manager, it's just there, as a memory hog (90+% of CPU). I have put all the files from YASU.zip into DAEMON Tools in Program Files

Try again with YASU.exe from official sources: v1.3 / v1.4

Also, use FileMon and RegMon from http://www.sysinternals.com to see what files and registry entries YASU accesses (tries to access?) before it gets into an infinite loop (?).

YASU 1.4 always worked, it was 1.3 I had trouble with, Zulu's link worked, but even with YASU 1.3/DT 4.06 I get 'Conflict with Emulation...'.

DAEMON Tools lite 4.11 has been released today.
Using that there won't be any conflict anymore. Of course you still need YASU.

be aware that filemon and regmon will most likely (for safedisc and securom i think) cause another Security module error when trying to launch the game...

and, rebooting is the only way to fix that (and then not loading filemon/regmon again obviously)...

mdf and mds must have same name, e.g. MANAGER08.mds + MANAGER08.mdf

If the MDS-file is only of "average" but not of good quality an image sometimes works, and sometimes it doesn't which results in error 1000 message. There are also seldom other reasons for error 1000, but i guess it's just coincidence it didn't occur before Patch 2.

After you clicked Ok, don't you also get "Conflict with emulation software detected" message ?
Because afaik all virtual drive versions of DT incl. 4.11.1 are blacklisted.
Latest Alcohol 120% released yesterday doesn't have a newer virtual drive engine ... it even uses an older one than DT 4.11.

Only working method that i know is burning a RMPS copy with Alcohol 120%

i dont know it always worked for me before patch 1
but this is how it worked
double click on the game
then clicking on cloacking several times till the game starts
this always used to work till patch 1

Just use the mdf file from poseden image

btw. I've just read elsewhere it should still work with 4.06 + YASU 1.4, but it doesn't for me

If you want to burn an emulated copy on DVD just create and burn image with Alcohol's 'SecuROM' datatype.
If your drive isn't capable of 'Data Position measurement' just use Poseden's or my MDS file with your selfprovided MDF file before you burn on DVD.
Enable 'RMPS' in Alcohol's or Daemon Tools' emulation settings, insert DVD and play.
