Info on Sid Meier's Pirates!?

[munsterbuster]

Use latest alcohol.
turn on every emulation.
read the disc at slowest speed with securom new 5.
mount them in alcohol.
use the regedit from above and play.

[helonius]

I am using A120 1.9.2 1705.
I mounted the image, installed the game, made sure all emulations were on in A120, completed the regedit, and i still get error "please place your original Pirates! CD ...."

[munsterbuster]

well.
Then use the crack that is avaible.

[helonius]

crack is at ftp://reptile.serveftp.org/Crack/

its ok, enjoy

Er, okay, changing registry entries isn't a problem for me...but...

With what do I rip the DVD image so that the SecuROM sectors are preserved?

Thanks. I'll run it through a virus scan just to be sure, though. I'm a little paranoid

[Gumby]

Well if you got the original CD:s you might read the f*Cking manual etc!
And you might figure out how to put in your original CD:s. oh dear smells like... crap here..

Anyway for those who are hounest I can tell you about the regedit fix that he listed.

1. Launch regedit.exe from "Start Menu/Run dialog"
2. Locate the following key:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\Scsi\Sc si Port X" (x=unknown number just look for the a347scsi in the uplisted part, in some port) key
The port number may vary(like I said), 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
8. Close the Registry Editor window and enjoy this nice game.

This works .

It's protected with Latest SecuROM and detects Alcohol 1.9.2 (latest version) and the latest version of deamon tools.

Hi guys!

I also have problems with PIRATES ;(
I downloaded the Alcohol Release and used the Reg-Patch how described.

BUT:
When I start the game - after the ATARI start-video PIRATES hang and Windows shows me an error message.
I also downloaded the cracked exe form gamecopyworld and Bittorrent but I have always this error message and PIRATES crashs.

I also deinstalled Alcohol but nothing work.

I have a HP Nx7010 notebook with a ATI Radeon 9200 64MB and the newest drivers from the hp website.
I have no problems with other games but PIRATES will not work on my notebook.

Has anybody same problems?

THX for any help

bye

i got mine to work by installing different drivers. the ones that worked for me (Ati Mobility Fire GL T2 128) was the ATI Fire GL T2 drivers, i.e. the NONE mobility ones.

Man, i have had the roughest time with EVERY ati card i have ever owned, and have never had a problem with Nvidia, ever. I would never spend money on anything ati, and i advise that you all do the same.

(the only reason i have an ati carded laptop is because it was part of the school i'm going to, otherwise, i wouldn't have it,

I totaly dissagree, always owned an ATI card never had a problem. Friend of mine have a Nvidia card dose have problems almost every god dam day. Love ATI love ati cards. But I can't help that you stucks with mobile versions of ATI cards.... Anyway for not laptops computers I think ATI is the best, for laptops computers, I can't tell you, becuase I don't own or tried, but I think they pretty even on problems on laptops cards. However there are non MOBILE graphic cards FOR LAPTOPS from ATI!

ANYWAY!
I can't see that we are comming somewhere in this topic.

The game is protected with latest version of SecuROM.

Can detect Alcohol Emulation Tool and Deamon Tools and all other emulations tools. (All latest). Fix is listed above.

Crack can be downloaded at GameCopyWorld.

Those who can't run the game, need to contact the publisher and/or read the ****ing manual and/or see if you system can handle the game (truth), the crack and/or the fix runs fine.

i have both ati and nvidia and never had a problem.
