SecuRom 7 sucks

[LordDave]

I've recently acquired Rockman X8 for PC, and when I tired to run it it said:

Wrong Disc Inserted
Please insert the original "Capcom$RockmanX8$03/01.2005" CD/DVD

I scanned it and came up with:

[19:47:24 PM] SecuROM 7.00.00.0001 detected -> D:\Games\CAPCOM\ROCKMANX8\ROCKMANX8\ROCKMANX8.exe
[19:47:24 PM] --- File(s) Scan Finished [2.67s] ---

I have tried all the blacklist things on these forums, but nothing has worked.

Help me please.

Hi LordDave,

is this the original disc you are running?

[LordDave]

No, an emulated copy

[$CyBeRwIz$]

Right. Did you create the image with Alcohol 120%? AFAIK this would be the easiest program for a task like this.

[LordDave]

Yes I did

just got stronghold 2 today, securom 7 detected, tried latest blindwrite as well as alcohol, none worked, reason: it won't run anything that is NOT a PHYSICAL CD DRIVE, that is, it will rule out DVD drive if a CD drive exists.

...from CD Club Freaks Forum...

You can make a working Copy With NEWEST: Blindwrite and of Course...TATA
Alcohol 120% V1.9.5.xxx, now you can make a DPM/RMPS on DVD'S !!!!!
Put the images in Daemon Tools and it will run.

To get passed the "emulator detected" crap, open up your registry, go to

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices]

right click it, deny Administrator read access, this disables Blacklisting of Securom V7.

This is how i did it, and it runs and runs and runs....

P.S Anyone can confirm this ?

Also Project Snowblind seems to have Securom 7...

[LocutusofBorg]

yes, we CAN confirm it. It's also necessary to change the name of the
drives (don't use default name "Generic DVD-ROM, AXV CD/DVD-ROM")
and it should run fine even with last DT version

As usual, I must mention that every (and especially system-related) changes / manipulations in registry is risky - it works, but it can also
wreck the registry or in this case the MountManager. As usual: don't
blame us, if something went wrong

This securom version use cheap method to detect / run only from ATAPI
drives and "dirty" other tricks. I must say, from our point of view,
SafeDisc is MUCH more fair. It try to prevent 1:1 copys but let you
run your originals from Image. THIS is customer care. Pirates use
warez-versions anyway

[pip8184]

you need to deny read permissions on the scsi port if you have the default d347prt too

[LocutusofBorg]

indeed, I will maybe make a good overview about current possibilities
and write them in "Common problems and solutions" forum

[LordDave]

Now this might sound a bit stupid, but how do I change my drives name?

[noib]

Right-click on your DT Icon in the taskbar, choose Virtual CD/DVD-Rom-> Device 0 -> Set Device Parameters
and change the "Vendor", "Model" and "Revision" fields
i guess..

Here's another stupid question, how do you disable read permissions on the scsi port?

[LordDave]

It doesn't work. *cries*

[nvladik]

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\Scsi\Scsi Port 4
Disabling read access to system and administrator worked.
