Sorry I have not gone thru the whole thread yet, but has anyone gotten the "mini" images on GCW to work ok with 1.02?

Thankx

The problem doesn't appear to be with the mini-image, but with the emulator being blacklisted. The tool that hides the emulator is also blacklisted. So, even if the image is perfect and totally workable, the emulator gets detected and it doesn't matter if the image is correct at that point. Right now, you're only hope of avoiding damage to your DVD is by making an identical copy with Alcohol 120 on a DVD+R DL and then running it with Alcohol's RMPS emulation enabled. That appears to work for some people.

You could also wait for a crack, but that just disables Securom. The crack can still check other things and will activate FADE, which is another tool they use to screw with your ability to copy the game.

Apparently, FADE is really difficult to isolate and disable since they can insert many custom triggers and it's difficult to know when you stopped it.

Your best bet is duplicating your disc as stated above. If that works, then you pretty much ran the game by tricking it into thinking you have the real disc inserted. If they knew it wasn't the real disc, it would stop right there. But since it does think it's the real CD, it launches the game. At that point, nothing else is changed (EXEs are the same), so it should, in theory, work.
