I already did try that, I did say I zero'd out the tracks to leave the topography and TOC.

There has to be something else to it rather than just topography reading. Something in a file on the CD or a specific track.

heh custom versions of dt.. interesting

Thanks for the replies DABhand, TippeX, Zulu and Blazkowicz....hell, the protections are getting tought now...even with a good CD/DVD drive you can't make a working image...

Hope DABhand continue trying to make the image...

See ya...will continue enjoying it and Sins of a Solar Empire...both games are great! One for being a great TBS and the other for being a new kind of RTS.

PD...hey...custom versions of DT!? will be glad to have a chance to test it!

[TippeX]

well hmm, if the image worked for v 1.0, 1.1 of the game, then it stands to reason the image is ok, so it has to be an update in the protection.. perhaps mini/maxi images dont work anymore for this flavor of securom... i haven't got the game, so i can't check further sadly..

[Bollo]

Yeap...you're almost there to have a working mini-image...will try to figure out if there's a file or something else that the protection checks...

See ya..

Full image works ok, quick authentication and start up, zero'd it takes 4mins+ to even authenticate and finallys gives the "please insert" message.

This leads me to believe that there is something more to it all than just the topography.

If you have a Buslogger i can PM you how Securom ISO check works.

EDIT: if you're using a raw image you may not zero EDC/ECC/SUB fields; the 4 minutes make me consider that

I wasnt using raw this time, although I did try and it failed majorly.

I just feel there is more to this version of Securom that is very sneaky.

Provided german version has same check there isn't more ... fortunately

Compressed Maxi Image Download
Uncompressed Maxi Image Download (might work for some with DT 4.06)

Will upload to GCW when next DT got released.

EDIT: this title doesn't show error codes

Beta Patch 1.03 can still be run via the cracked 1.02 loader.exe, although there is some improvements, there is other bugs present, at this moment unfortunately the game is very unplayable to be honest.

[Bollo]

Yeap....with the latest daemon it only shows the "Disc Emulation detected"...perhaps using YASU or another tool...

Hope the blacklisting be fixed in the next release of daemon...

Thanks...see ya!

I'm not able even to run 1.0 with or withour crack/DT etc

I just installed 1.03 with no luck... Also tried the mini/maxi images someone posted above

Where is the 1.02 cracked loader? I can't find it anywhere

Thanks

No crack for the lost empire: immortals patches at the moment. The game came out extremely buggy, so i know it's unplayable without patches. Cracking this it's not exactly on the priority list of the usual suspects.

heh the loader.exe is securom´ed but it didn´t get updated in patch v1.03 so u still can use the old crack (thats why there is no cracked update available, there is no need for it as the loader. exe is still v1.00 but the game.exe is updated to v1.03)
