Caesar IV - Mini-Image HELP

[Kobogo]

Doesen't work for me neither.... I basically tried all you've all said, except for Dunno's suggestion. When I start ceasarIV.exe with procyon (secuROM loader) the message "Please insert the original disc instead of a backup. See http://www.securom.com/no_orig_found for more details." appears.

when I start C4exec.exe with procyon, the message "Please remove disc from current CD/DVD drive and insert the original "Caesar IV" disc
in drive E:." appears.

I mounted the mini image (mcz-c4mi.mds) with daemon tools, disabled alcohol drives, without much success. I'm desperate enough to try switching the drive letters. But I won't do it just yet.

bloody hell. what am I missing?

update: i tried the pr0t.st0p, still nothing. messages appearing tend to vary regardless of the .exe file I'm trying to run, though. wazzthatmean?
I just might go nuts with this game.

tested ALL of the above, game worked 1 time, and never again, not even after reinstall,
programm generates nt*dlll.dll and variuos other dlls each time it does not run, deleting these files doesnt help either, what is wrong??

someone plz can write a proper crack??


thx

those dlls are from the anti blacklist software you're running... like procyon, asr etc.. NOT from the game..

same here i got it to work once but never again. i hope that someone works out a good way soon.

It worked before.... but now after restart it says what the rest is saying "Please insert original instead of backup"

Worked for me, obviously with the mini image etc but it worked first time after changing my DVD to something like K.....

Hi I have had a lot of problems getting this image to worke. But I finaly found a way, its not pretty nifty or some super leet way. its just pure presistens. I had read a lot of post about this problem all over the net. And I finaly came to the conclusion that I did every thing right and there was literaly nothing left for me to try. So here come my advice "If at first you don't succede, try try again" I know you might think it wont work and im not sure it will for every one, but for me and on this computer it did, if I just keep on trying like 20 or 30 times in a row, it let me in.
Btw her is my setup:
1. Install the game.
2. Use the Latest Version of Daemon Tool's
3. Mount the Image you Installed the game with for me it's "D:\Spil\Caesar IV\CD1\ccd-cr4a.mds" but i guss you can use the mini Image as well.
4. run using Procyon.exe(SecuROM_Loader_v7.26). I use the shortcut on the desktop with a modifide strin so it looks like this ""E:\Games\Sierra\Caesar IV\had.exe" -r CaesarIV.exe". it just makes it easier if you have to try it like 30 times!!!
5. Just keep on hitting that button boy.
I was borred and there was Hollowman in the tv that was why I tried this approch
I hope this can help some one. but I guss you have to be pretty desperate to try this...

Ohh and btw this leet methode works with version 1.1 as well

scary how desperate some people can get..

time required to put in original disk vs. launching executable 30+ (sometimes going into the hundreds) times....

crazy... of course the 'im worried about wear and tear on the cddrive' is a reasonable excuse but then what about the wear and tear on the harddisk

'leet' method .. /me giggles and thinks of kitchen sinks again....
