Battlefield 2142 Fixed Mini Image Request

[Alien Firefox]

Copying safedisc and securom protected dvds with alcohol using RMPS emulation

With the release of v. 1.9.6.4629 of alcohol it is now possible to make RMPS emulation copies of safedisc protected dvds as well as securom protected dvds.

The method is the same (and new users should note that there are no datatypes to select when copying dvds with alcohol as they are unnecessary).

The method is simple. It is as follows:

Simply click on the image making wizard with the dvd to be copied in the drive. Check the options for "Skip read errors" and for "Data Position Measurement" and set Precision (for dpm) to "High" from the drop down box.

After you click next, a pop-up box will ask you for the dpm speed you want to use. Select "Max" and proceed from there.

Once the image is made, click on the image burning wizard and load the image you've just made from the .mds file. Click next and then select your burning speed and check the option for "Burn "RMPS" to recordable media. Then click Start to commence burning your image.

Note that the burnt dvd will require RMPS emulation to be enabled in alcohol (or Daemon Tools) emulation options for it to work.

Note also that it isn't presently possible to make a working back-up copy of a safedisc or securom protected dvd that will work without emulation because of the inability of dvd burners to write dvds in raw mode.

Not needed for Safedisc DVD

RMPS emulation is ONLY for burned media, not for images.

Hey Zulu!!

I think i understand the trick now.
To do what Alien Firefox says, it would be possible to play with a backup-disk by emulating it in A120, i think that is what you mean?
But this was not my concern, because it makes no difference (to me) between loading the original or loading the backup.
Both options have to load a disk into the dvd-drive every time i want to play, right?
But exactly that i want to avoid!
I don´t need a backup, i only want to play without the dvd into the dvd-drive because it peeves me, not more.

I´ll try to make a immage with the newest A120-Version_ 1.9.6.4719 and loading it in the v-drive.
Perhaps it works, i´ll tell you!

Thanks!

That won't make a difference in vDrive; i was only refering to a burned copy

If Y.A.S.U. 1.07 and Pr0t.St0p 1.1 don't work for you with a mounted image try deactivating optical drives in device manager instead (better deactivate the whole IDE port if HDD with boot partition doesn't share same port)

I can play online and everything

Can anyone with a little coding know-how confirm this? I don't want to use this until it's confirmed that it's not stealing your CD-key or raping my kernels and what not.

Wouldn't you be able to play WITHOUT the DVD by using the EA Downloader ? I mean get the Retail DVD but use the EA downloader and download the game? I was thinking about doing this, can someone confirm if this gonna work before i buy the retail DVD.

It doesn't work like that. You have to first purchase a game through EA's website, and then that purchase is tied to your EA account. Then you use the EA Downloader, log into your account, and the downloader sees what purchases you have made.

Just downloading the EA downloader itself doesn't give you access to any retail content.

Ok, let me rephrase it. What about if you know someone that purchased the online version and then he backups those files? You then just copy and use YOUR own account that you've created with your dvd purchase? Is that possible?

Isn't this similar to CS:S?

Sounds like it might work that way.

I checked up on that file from bart5986.. It is identicle to the Razor1911 v1.01 fixed exe including the coded Razor tags inside the exe. So I don't know how he gets it to work online ???

[bart5986]

Well it works on all the official servers online, and thats all that matters.

Is it possible then that Razor's version was based on the EA Downloader exe, rather than cracked from scratch?

Hmmm, I'm more willing to try it now, but I still worry about Punkbuster banning me from servers if this is only an SP crack.

[bart5986]

Trust me, its a working crack. Punkbuster hasn't said anything about it and i've played for 7 hours, its fully legit.

You can even see my profile, http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/bg/type/2/bart5986.png

The crack works great, try it and you'll see.

@bart5986
