Info on Sid Meier's Pirates!?

[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...

[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.

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

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

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?
