Imperial Glory ...unknown protection...

[Jeffstaine]

Hi !

Is anybody familiar with the protection of Imperial Glory/ DVD Pyro. I scanned several times by using several tools (clony, protectionId, aso.) but the signiture of protection isn´t recognized.
It detects virtual drives and hasn´t a starforce protection. To me it seems to be a new kind of securom or safedisk or protect-cd detection which isn´t known so far.

L8er on

securom v7 ^^

Fix it by using Anti-Blaxx

[Azkatari]

has anyone managed to run imperial glory? via anti blaxx or whatever else

[Niko76]

It works flawlessly with Anti-Blaxx, mounting mdf image (with RMPS) or running burned dvd into optical unit. No problem at all !!!

[Azkatari]

damn that's what im doing won't work for me

[Jeffstaine]

...so what do you have to do ?

1st. Doing an Image with alc120 in combination with rpms from the org. disk
2nd. Burn the whole thing onto your dvd-media, of course also with rpms.
3rd. Start DemonTools with rpms emulation

And keep in mind: The slower you burn, the better it works.

Start game, should work fine...

This procedure is infact for the german DVD-version.

I think there is also a 3-CD Version existant of this game. It would be nice if someone could post if it also works the same way with the game disk.

Besides: With this procedure you will be able doing copy´s from your original master, you won´t be able doing backups from copy´s. So it´s just a hint for those of you wanting to find a way doing a backup from their expensive master.

Enjoy!

mebbe forgot rpms i'll try again!

[Jeffstaine]

...i forgot to say that it also works this way with:

Stronghold 2
Empire Earth 2

CD-Versions, by choosing Read-Method Securom V4/v5, rpms on the gamedisk and demontools.

Is this game good, worth having?

[Azkatari]

yeah it's all right, campaign's a bit slow n all but still it's fun

1. Turn on all emulation in daemon tools (I couldn't be bothered to select one and one protection for what is needed, so might as well just click enable all)
2. Mount image
3. Run anti-blaxx, choose securom7 and program exe
4. Run game and have fun
