Which version?

Are there any versions other then the one listed in the OP that work with both Win7 x64 and DTE?

I have recently purchased DT for use with DTE and found the latest version of DT does not seem to be recognised by DTE......and when I try to install the version listed in the OP it crashes during the file copy stage of setup with an event that specifies DT is not compatible "with this version of Windows".

TIA

I challenge DT Soft to put that DTE 'manual' on disc-soft.com, so people can see what they will need to do to be able to run their games with DT Pro. Since it's 'not complicated', it should be no problem

[Blazkowicz]

Doing 4 clicks is not complicated.

Seriously, this is way too much of a hassle only to play a game. It has come to the point that it is actually a lot easier to just insert the original disc and play the game.

Couldn't agree more but it's only needed for a very short time before a gamefix comes out.

My days of buying retail games are over. Most games are also released on Steam nowadays, which is a lot easier than messing around with some anti-blacklisting tool and hoping it won't BSOD.

I know games on Steam are usually quite expensive, but this price also includes keeping my games up-to-date automatically

Further to last post

Couldn't find an Edit facility.

Important :-

1. Before a reboot Unmount your image or, if it has a habit of remounting, disable your virtual drive.

2. after reboot or startup follow the exact procedure in my last post.

You can get in a mess with freeze ups etc if you start DTE with the image mounted - well at least I did. Image must only be mounted after USB drive is up.

Unfortunately the Command Line facility does not include loading the USB driver.

Thanks to Blazkowicz

Just a note to Blazkowicz to say that DTE worked first time once I had understood the USB drive from the excellent video.

I am using :-

Vista Ultimate x64 SP1
DTE v3.1.19.0
DT Pro 4.35.0308.0131
SecuROM Version 07.41.0004

For those who may be using it for first time, may I suggest the following sequence :-

1. For reliability firstly remove any virtual drives you may have on your system.

2. Mount a virtual IDE drive using Daemon Tools pro Agent after making sure that there are no ticks in Tools/Preferences/Advanced. Change the drive letter to one more than the last e.g. C,D,E > C,D,F

3. Make sure that DTE is in your DT pro folder and run it (I run as administrator)

4. Right click on the Vdrive and enable SafeDisk and SecuROM

5. Click Load Driver (USB driver)

6. Choose a port under Standard ENHANCED PCI > USB and Right click

7. Choose the same drive as the Vide drive you set up with DT Pro. The drive letter should appear as E in the example above.

8. mount your .mds image using DT Pro on drive F

Lastly, many thanks to Blazkowicz for an excellent add-on.

They added a better anti mini image support.

Yeah, innovation as usual by Sony
Still 10 ISO checks in total, but instead of checking one sector per day it's just a different interval now - for more info just send a PM. IIRC it was first used in Puzzle Quest: Galactrix.

[Blazkowicz]

You actually used a vUSB drive and the vUSB drive letter is lower than vIDE's drive?
If yes, you may send me a mini image and necessary files to start disc check.

You also may tell us the exact SR version.

not working with secu 7.41 (drakensang am fluss der zeit)

[Blazkowicz]

If you think about it, you may get what is wrong there. vUSB drive is successfully created.
Hint: Drive Letter

After you've successfully created an vUSB device mount you're image to the vIDE as usual.

[Blazkowicz]

You have to add a virtual USB drive first in DTE (try different USB hubs).
