I tried loading both image drivers and it's the same, the game refuses to load saying that has been detected an emulator software...

I have using cd's every time i want to play it....

Thanks...

i've been checking this thing right now, and it does work...
...without problems. It's SecuRom 5.03.03, and i got DT346, the last 1.4.7 version of alc (AXWHISKY , that's better than XMAS), i got BW4, i got BW5. Nothing else. Check your system for CloneCDTray stuff or else - it's not DT.

Maybe it's A120%, i will check and confirm that.

Did some searching. It's Alcohol 120%. DT can't handle this one alone for some reason.

i have to correct myself... i use Alcohol 1.4.6.711 not 1.4.7. And it still works... though didn't check it with the Alcohol drive yet. I always use DT's one.

Version 1.00.165 of this game blacklists the Daemon Tools virtual drives, at least under XP, I haven't tested it under 98SE. The blacklisting method is pretty lame, it just checks for the values of the following keys (the values should be nonzero):

HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\Scsi\Scsi Port ?

Interrupt REG_DWORD ?
IOAddress REG_DWORD ?

Of course, the above values are not present, so the game refuses to run.

Since these keys are created dynamically, I'm using the following script as a temporary fix to run the game; note that it needs to be edited to get it working, it should be obvious that this is valid only for my system.



gosub updateregistry
mount 0,H:\CD Images\Hitman Contracts\CD2.mds
workingdir H:\Juegos\Hitman Contracts
H:\Juegos\Hitman Contracts\hitmancontracts.exe
quit

:updateregistry
set regfile=%@UNIQUEFILE[%tmp%\hitmancont.reg]
filetowrite %%regfile%%
writeline REGEDIT4
writeline [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\Scsi\Scsi Port 3]
writeline "Interrupt"=dword:ffffffff
writeline "IOAddress"=dword:ffffffff
regedit /s %%regfile%%
waitforprogram
del %%regfile%%
return


This script is to be used with BTEWin; I don't know if the version that is under the downloads section is the latest one, so I would suggest to download it from my home page.
