Have fun. I know I have.
P.S.:for some people, they'll have to try twice. If it says that it couldn't read the disk, hit retry. For me works from the first time, but for a friend of mine he has to hit the retry button, as explained in poseden's image nfo file.

This dosent work for me, even with the new SPTD

Interesting. The image making tactic really does work, it prevents secuROM detecting the originality of the mount as its being used. Though a medium to fast PC will have enough processing power to do both. I suggest you lag your PC down as it loads up.....Wouldnt work on mine til I did. (aka, Image making, WMplayer, MSN, task manager and even considered a quick virus scan) Everything went slow, but the second the screen goes black, cancel everything and your off!

If you get the error message, hit try again button, once or twice(that seems to vary from a PC to another). For me starts right away, but a friend of mine had that problem and he did as poseden specified in his nfo file(hitting retry 2-3 times). Also you nedd YASU 1.07 active.

Funny thing, I think I read it on EDITED, but I think I can confirm this.
again, I have no proof or record of why or how, or even that this works other than my own experience and one other person I had read.

Install Supreme Commander, and Yasu, + image from original disk will work no problem, every time, no messing around. I don't know why, people can say this is bull, but I'm telling ya...

This is the best thing I've seen yet for this game.

Did you bothered reading the name of the thread? Supreme Commander isn't a issue. A crack is available on this site for the game(you didn't checked even that, though you are posting in the GCW forums).
This thread is about UFO Afterlight.
P.S.: I wasn't aware that a legit copy of Supreme Commander would contain a image and YASU. And the mention of EDITED can only lead to one conclusion: you've downloaded the game and you are in for the banishment award.

I had the same problem till I set the priority for UFO Aftermath to low in Windows Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del)

And by UFO Aftermath I obvioulsy mean Afterlight! (doh!)

fxingworkdamit · #68 19-02-2007, 08:10

First off I was talking about Afterlight, secondly, there IS a Supreme Commander Demo available, thirdly, just because I read something somewhere has no bearing on where I obtain my software.

This is in the right topic, if you look back I've responded here multiple times. As for the mention of said place, I will not do that again.

@wolfsrain
Lets not jump to conclusions please!

Yes 'fxingworkdamit' did mention a warez site, which is frowned upon here, but that doesnt mean he got the game from there.
I too have visited warez sites to find out how different people go about getting different games to work without needing the disc in the drive.
Some warez forums can actually be quite educational.

By pasting fxingworkdamit's post into your own post you actually mentioned the warez site twice!!

Should I now ban you for twice as long as fxingworkdamit??

Where in the above quote does it say Yasu was on the disc?
If he did download it then he would not have an original disc!
The '+ image' comment can mean "+ create an image of the original disc".
No where does it say the image is on the disc?

Please dont accuse other members of pirating when you really are not sure what they have done.

TY Grumpy, obviously your name does you no justice.

Grumpy by name but not by nature. (Well not all the time anyway)

Mind you some would disagree.

neliz · #72 19-02-2007, 10:10

I tried all methods mentioned above and only ONE worked for me!

It is: Set priority to Low in the task manager for UFO.EXE
If you do it too soon, you'll get a notice that it's not allowed, immediatly do it again and UFO Afterlight starts.

Hurah! celt67 is *TEH HER0ES!*

(edit: so far the success rate is 1 in 5 .. it beats popping the dvd back and forth between my pc and laptop.

Argail · #73 19-02-2007, 18:06

heya,

i used the above methods, but unfortunately i can t seem to get past the #1 problem. I mount the posedon image with daemon tools and activate yasu. But it always says problem with emulation software detected even after yasu says, that all the drives have been hidden.

Its really weird. Any ideas there?

fxingworkdamit · #74 19-02-2007, 18:16

Any emulation options turned on in Daemon Tools? I believe they should all be off. Also, I know this sounds dumb and you probably have it, the newest version of both DT and YASU?

Also maybe any other emulation software should probably be inactive, or at least disabled, again you probably don't have that happening, so I will take a look to see what might be happening to ya.

Argail · #75 19-02-2007, 18:35

hi fxing. Thanks for the fast answer. I have yasu 1.07. newest alcohol and daemon tools versions including the driver upgrade. What i just noticed though is, that when i start the game, while it loads the cd rom symbol doesn t appear while it checks. Oh and no, no options in DT are activated.

edit:
ummm.... i think the problem is a little bigger than what i expected. I just put in my original to play till you can come up with something

started the game: error message: conflict with emulation software detected...
did i just break my pc or something?
