Info on Sid Meier's Pirates!?

[Dimensio]

I know that I'm supposed to wait two weeks before asking for a crack. I'm not asking for a crack right now. I'm curious as to whether or not anyone has information about the protection used on this game and how that would relate to the likelyhood of a crack being released any time soon.

I'm surprised that I've not actually seen any discussion about it ... anywhere.

[Luci]

who is the publisher of the game?

Securom 5.xxxx

[Luci]

isn't it Ea games???no i think it's ea games and then it should be safedisc 3

[vms01]

It´s Securom 5.xxxxx and it´s not from EA games! Why don´t u inform urself first before u post wrong informations!
I own the game and also have to use the securom Trick to Play it without CD, so i know it´s Securom!

[Luci]

ok sorry but don't you try insulting me man

[helonius]

And what would that trick be??

[Luci]

i believe he ment the emulation alcohol has for securom protections...

[helonius]

I havent gotten that to work. Anyone know a link to show how its done? I have tried nearly everything in A120 and still no luck.

Use the settings for securom new 5. Use slowest speed for reading and burning. If its not working try this for mounting:

1. Launch regedit.exe from "Start Menu/Run dialog"
2. Locate the following key:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\Scsi\Sc si Port 2"
The port number may vary, look for key with reference to
"a347scsi"
3. Right click on this key and choose "Permissions..."
4. Select the "Administrators" group
5. Check the "Deny" box on second permission row ("Read")
6. Validate by "Ok"
7. Answer "Yes" to the confirmation dialog

[helonius]

when I say "tried everything" that also includes the instructions in the NFO file...

[munsterbuster]

What nfo file?

[helonius]

those instructions about changing the key permissions do not work. I have tried DT 347 and A120 (1.9.2) to mount the images, and i have burned with A120... none of it works...

[munsterbuster]

They work with mounting. Every Securom is bypassed with this at the moment. Even with older securom new games like battlefront or so.

Should no longer work, when a new version comes out.

[helonius]

ok, any details? I have tried mounting with both daemon tools and alcohol 120... i have tried all the options they allow as well...
