Problem with Unsafedisc instructions,.....need help

[daves_22]

Hey guys,
I have been struggling with these files and the lack of instructions make it rather confusing. Here is the problem...
After hours of frustration, I decided to download the patch for gp3, a game protected with safedisc.
I did this to compare the gp3.exe files that seem to be the key to this thing.
Here is the just of it:
1) there is a gp3.exe file in a grand prix subfolder
2) there is the encrypted gp3.icd file in the grand prix subfolder
3) I run unsafedisc and I get an error that it cannot find dplayerx.dll, which is in the root directory NOT the grand prix subfolder.
4) I copy the dplayerx.dll to the grand prix subfolder and then ran the unsafedisc, it runs and creates a test.exe file.
** This test.exe file is 8MB in size, the original gp3.exe file is 300kb in size. The original gp3.icd is about 8 MB in size.

So something is obviously wrong as the PATCH that I downloaded has only the gp3.exe file that appears to be 300KB which is about the same as the original gp3.exe file.
My test.exe file that supposedly is to be renamed gp3.exe is 8MB in size, about the same as the gp3.icd encrypted file.

What am I doing wrong......? The unwrapper I am running from a different subfolder, in fact, My hard drive is multipartitioned, so the unwrapper is on f: and the files from the cd are on i:

Any help would be appreciated.....
Sincerely,
Dave S.
