- Create a full image with Alcohol 120% using Safedisc or Safedisc 2/3 profile (if necessary you can try THIS method to speed up the skipping of the SD typical defective sectors)
- Mount image in virtual drive of DT 4.03* or Alcohol 120% and use Prot.Stop (explained in FAQ)
- Start the game

* if using Daemon Tools, deactivate Safedisc emulation, there is a bug in the x86 version which avoids gamestart even for mounted images

The actual name of "protstop" is "Pr0t.St0p", with a dot inside and zeros for O's. (You could've found it if you had read the FAQ through which wouldn't be a bad idea anyway...)

Pr0t.St0p hides the virtual CD/DVD drives from the copy protection; without it, the copy protection will find out that the game is being played from a copy, not an original.

What patch can't you download? Exact URL, please.

Never mind, I found on the internet and installed it that way.

How does the copy protection determine Im playing the game from a copy?

Yes, but this is only important for Securom (i think since Version 7.11), not for Safedisc (yet). More important is the fact, that optical IDE drives get hidden. If Safedisc finds a optical IDE drive it refuses to run in Daemon Tools' virtual SCSI drive.

@THE GOOD GUY
HERE a good summary.
