Anyone heard this one lately?SecRom

[cryostasis]

Securom has introduced Starforce-like technology
and new blacklstings against DTool4.heared of it?that was fast..

[NetSoerfer]

Which version of SecuROM are you talking about?

I sincerely doubt that there is actually a blacklist against Daemon Tools v4. Do you mean the fact that SR7 doesn't work with DTv4? That's because it won't run from any SCSI drive if an optical IDE drive is present in the system. Not because of a blacklist of Daemon Tools v4.

[FnF]

No, there is a new SecuROM, which has indeed blacklisting for DT4...

No, there is a new SecuROM, which has indeed blacklisting for DT4...

Do you know any game that has this version of SecuROM yet?

[al1uk]

there is nothing about daemon tools on the securom site (unlike starforce who brag on their site about their protection.)

[FnF]

Do you know any game that has this version of SecuROM yet?

Yes, I know one game who has this version (I believe there is only one).
It's called: Stubbs The Zombie In Rebel Without a Pulse
It has blacklisting against:
DT4,Alcohol,SFN,SRStop,Anti-Blaxx etc

That game is not even released on PC yet, only on Xbox.

[Dark Arbitor]

Which means it's plausible they could have just implemented said protection, since the game hasn't been released yet...

DT4 isn't blacklisted with that game, at least according to nforce.nl forums (where DT4 discussion is also hot). It is said there that you maybe need to unplug ide and usb optical drives or use starfuck, no actual DT4 blacklisting is present.

actually its been released on pc heres an nFo file.

Stubbs the Zombie Rebel Without A Pulse AlcoholCloneCD READNFO

How it all began...

In 1933, Edward "Stubbs" Stubblefield was just another traveling salesman
trying to get by during the Great Depression. His lifelong losing streak
reached its logical conclusion when he was brutally murdered and
ignominiously buried in a remote Pennsylvania field

Note:

It's a sad day today. Securom has introduced Starforce-like technology
and new blacklstings against DTool4, Alcohol, Starforce Nightmare, SRStop,
Anti-Blaxx, and so on.

To get this release to work, you will need to do the following:

Method 1)
0) Install the game.
1) Mount image in DTool4.
2) Make sure you only have 1 Virtual CD device. If you have an Alcohol virtual
device, e.g., disable it. If you have 2 Daemon Tool drives. Set it only to 1.
3) Use Starfucker (included) and click on either primary or
secondary all_cd_agressive.' A message will pop up
"nur dann ok anclicken, wenn zu ende gespielt!" That translates to,
click 'ok' when u have finished playing. So, Don't click OK if you want to play.
3.5) Some of you will need to unplug your IDE drives.
4) Click on desktop icon and play.

btw, if u get the msg "required security module can not be activated"
you might need to reboot.

Method 2)
You can also convert the .mds file to a .bwa file, create a Blindwrite
image, and burn it. You will need to unplug your IDE drives and use an
USB drive. We've tested this and it works.

PS: You might wanna fix this blacklisting before releasing a new version.

vampirtiv beat me to post that. hehe but i believe ide jammer would somehow help dt4 to beat that new protection.

[Reef]

Isn't Starfucker a tool like Starforce Nightmare to hide IDE drives?
So I don't think this is a DT4 blacklisting issue. This is just the general SCSI drive blacklisting.
That's why it also says "3.5) Some of you will need to unplug your IDE drives."
Starfucker probably does not work on every system (f.e. where harddisks and optical drives share the same IDE channel), so if it doesn't work you still need to unplug drives.
