5) play the game

After trying all other methods, this one is the one that worked. But I installed the whole game, then use the mini-image to mount in DAEMON. And I also updated to 1.2. But it works finally. Thanks alot

I don't see what the trouble is with this. Apparently not everyone out there has the ability to make a 1:1 backup copy anymore? I have a sony dvd/cdrw combo drive - the original cd's work fine, and the 'backup cd's work fine for me. I don't run alcohol 120 or daemon tools. Frankly, if you have a CD, and you have a backup of that cd, I'd much rather have the space on my hard drive than fragment and trash a system with image files. But then I only have 260GB over 3 hard drives to play with.

Securom doesn't work with all DVD/CD drives - Toshiba's models have trouble with it, and it sucks that some paying customers have those drives that are incompatible. Solution? Either get Securom to modify their protection for better compatibility, or get Toshiba to update their incompatible firmware. Or, third option, get a drive that works.

After times of failure. I finally made it.

1) Install CureROM 1.31
1) Mount the image with daemon tools 4.03. All emulations ON!!
2) Run CureROM LITE!!! and click ENABLE!!
4) Run the game.

Works well for me

would someone be able to up the mini-image in 20 meg parts for us dialup users?

I did just that, after 4 days it worked!!! ONCE!!!! Now it won't work again. I was able to change video settings etc...

I've restarted and still get original disc not found. Why would it work 1 time and never again doing THE SAME EXACT THING!!!!!

Now listen
Grab the patch and apply it...
After that mount the FULL image i think you all have made by now using DT403 with all emulation options on.
Then use the AntiSecurerom and as exe file choose the sweaw.exe which is in the GAMEDATA folder.
Thats it...
Worked for me !
Enjoy !

Try Curerom 1.30b

Works for me. The first time the game says original disc could not be found or outenthicated. Try again and its starts after 30sec.

Gamejackal worked for me, tried DT and all the other processes, GJ allowed me to remove the image file and save some space.
