A blacklist means that the protection checks for installed programs that it doesn't like, and if found will not launch the game. This applies to original games too! not just backps as tippex mentioned.

It's a cat and mouse game of protection getting updated with latest blacklists, and programs getting changed slightly to avoid detection. It's pointless for the copy protection companies because they are shooting themselves in the foot by not allowing users to run their legit original games due to a program installed on the same computer which is none of their business. The irony is that a crack will fix the problem as BM mentioned - so in some cases a crack is needed to play an original cd.

We don't even know if the crack by pass the blacklist.

Actually, I didn't bother uninstalling Nero before installing Call of Duty and the game runs without a hitch both with and without running the NO-CD patch. Good thing too, otherwise I'd be pissed like you wouldn't believe...

The FIFA 2004 v1.1 update also has SafeDisc 3.

[krondike]

I did write FIFA 2004, and EA Games are not a company that bring a .exe file without protection. Other compnies might do that after a while becuase protection might have bugg in it's, but EA Games don't ever do that becuase they are a p**** company!


So yeah I didn't write 1.1 becuase 1.0 was SafeDisc 3.10 and SafeDisc 3 isn't compatable with SafeDisc 2 and the latest version is SafeDisc 3.10 so it did figure it out that the new version should be also 3.10 but much thankz for the report.

If anyone wonder why I did wrote 1.01 on Max Payne, is becuase 1.00 is not reported as a blacklist protection, but 1.01 is!

Ok well the backup worked. I Uninstalled the original to try the backup out and it installed fine. The thing i realized after is that the backup installed with alcohol installed as well. I dont know if the original worked with alcohol because i had it uninstalled at the time. Hope someone can make sense of it , or maybe it can help someone. By the way it is an aussie version.

something to add:

nero6 includes a true virtual drive called ImageDrive. If you have Nero6 installed go and have a look at the control panel. from there you are able to en/disable the drive.

das ist der fehler ...

thats the error message

[krondike]

that don't look like a SafeDisc 2 or 3 message. Can someone please translate it!

[Eagle]

necessary file not found or damaged.

[krondike]

That isn't a blacklist error, you got an error with your image file. Where did you get the image file? Put in your original Cd and install it from them! CAn't see why you making a image of the original CD and install it from them. There only 1 cd that's protected with SafeDisc 3. That's the only cd that's need to be emulated. And that's the only cd you need to run the game.
