Heroes of Might and Magic V v.1.05 EU

[StockBreak]

Hi, this is my first post on this forum !
I recently decided to make a backup copy of my beloved HOMMV since the DVD started to become very hot after a short usage.
I tried using YASU latest version (I think 1.2b) and DT 4.09, but when I run the game (even if I cloak my drives before running the game), an error message come out saying that I am using a backup copy instead of the original DVD (CureROM 2.0.3.3 doesn't work as well).
How can I solve this? Thanks!

Your image is bad...
Try recreating your image with Alcohol 120%,
Make sure you select the correct media type.

This is not YASU related. your image is bad. Click on link in my signature.

How do I know if my image is bad?

I used Alcohol 120%, and the info in the link, but I'm still getting the "Use a real disc, not a backup" message. How can I determine if I have a good image? Or are there settings DAEMON I'm missing?

i had the same problem some weeks ago too... but you can simply solve it (it did work for me somehow): try to turn on under emulation "hide cd-r" it should work one or two times to play the game, and then you'll (maybe) bekome an error from securom, turn then this "hide cd-r" off again. Then it should work forever (if you have the problem like me) sry for my bad english^^

I have a problem with HOMMV too.
I have install HOMMV and then i made a image with Alcohol 52% as .mdf/.mds file.
Then I have "CureRom" installed and started up. When mount with Alcohol 52% is selected, and I saved and I started the program, i can choose to whether I play or want to browse dvd.
When I click on play, the message come that my CD / DVD on the false drive, and must insert in E.

But in the info text from CureRom is writen: is tested with HOMMV.

What i can do?

Sorry for the bad english.

[Blazkowicz]

Use YASU, CureROM is outdated.

So, now I have download Yasu, but i doesnґt work.
When I click on play, the message come that my CD / DVD on the false drive, and must insert in E.

I made that so: in yasu i click to the cloak button, then i start the game in the virtual drive.
The image i made with alcohol 52 % and mount the game with daemon tools lite 4

[Blazkowicz]

Try mounting into virtual IDE drive of DAEMON Tools Pro Advanced.

@Chom^^
Which versions of DT lite and YASU are you using ?

[Chom^^]

dt Lite 4.30.3 and YASU 1.3.7071

[evlncrn8]

hmm, isnt that an old version of yasu?

[Chom^^]

ohh i see now in Heroes of Might and Magic V that I use version 1.0, but in the HOMMV folder the start file say version 1.0.0.27

Just a heads up that as far as I know, patch 1.6 (1.0.6) of HOMM-V removes the disk protection check for the EU version. From what I have read though, Securom protection remains in the 1.6 US version...

So as long as you have a valid image, apply the latest patch and everything should go fine!
