Skwal, all you did was give the same old information (use daemon tools with cureRom blah blah...) except you added a broken link to a mini image that doesn't seem to exist. In addition, you say to suspend autoplay in cureRom, but that option isn't available when you select 'I do not want to use emulation software'.

So I think any of us who have been plugging at this problem for quite some time have found that the game WILL run with various combinations of alcohol 120% or damon tools with antiSecuRom or cureRom, but ONLY A FEW TIMES! Mine worked three times with DaemonTools: once with antiSecurom and twice with cureRom. I've also tried several different cureRom profile option combinations, but to no avail. I'm still getting the "original disk cannot be authenticated" error. The securom seems to recognize what you're doing after a couple times and lock you out of the game again...

In any case my point is that if you manage to get the game working once MAKE SURE THAT IT WORKS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE YOU POST THAT YOU'VE FOUND THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION!!! Sorry I don't want to sound like a jerk, but we've got over 300 posts on 10 different threads and nobody seems to have found a solution that works. So...

Does anybody know if there's a ******* ***** being worked on right now, or if any of the emulator hiders (cureRom etc.) are being updated any time soon? What else can we do to get around SecuRom which seems to be "finding" our solutions? What about the .bat file someone recommended with the '/y e:\directx c:\directx\*.*' command like somebody recommended (didn't work for me)? Does anyone know more about how that works?
(BTW I use an .mds made from the DVD, with Secondary IDE controllers disabled and have tried with emulators both on and off for DT)

Thanks

I don't think you'll get any answer to this... ***** **** ** not allowed here.

If AntiSecuRom-Loader does not work with starting the "sweaw.exe" in the GameData Folder, it seems you have another bad problem.
As everyone says, the message with the original disc that cannot be autheticated, sounds like a bad DPM - file.

That is exactly the problem. I know because the first image I created always gave me the same error (I wanted an image fast, so I set DPM at normal precision and max speed).
About one out of ten tries the game would start with this image. The other nine times I got the above error.

So I made a new image with DPM set at high precision and at 8X, and now the game runs every time (using the SecuROM loader).

I mean, burn with 4x, at dao pw, removing checkmark at autoplay
