How to emulate SecuROM 8

[raffairon]

Hi, I buyed a disc which contain a software, in particular a dictionary.

I scanned that disc using the software ProtectionID 0.6.4.0 JULY by clicking on scan->CD/DVD drive (file) and then by clicking on the DVD drive which contained the disc. The result is this:

-=[ ProtectionID v0.6.4.0 JULY]=-

I want to be able to make an image ofthe disc and emulate it through Daemon Tools. I have DAEMON Tools Lite version 4.45.4.0316 with SPTD version 1.83. I'm running Windows 8 (hence why I had to download the 1.83 version of SPTD).

I used Alcohol 120% v7 to make the disc image in the mds format. I then mount it in DAEMON Tools in a SCSI virtual drive. In the "wheel icon"->advanced, SecuROM option IS selected, and only that is selected.

When the software starts, a message box says that "jvm.dll file is missing". When i click ok, a new message box appear stating that I need to insert the original disc and not a backup disc, pointing me to a securom website link

How can i solve that?

I used Alcohol 120% v7 to make the disc image in the mds format.

Alcohol v7 -a crippled german version- isn't capable of performing the required DPM (data position measurement).
You need the international version 2.0.2.3931 or DAEMON Tools Pro to create an image with DPM.

In the "wheel icon"->advanced, SecuROM option IS selected, and only that is selected.

This option is only for very old SecuROM versions in case a CD copy was imperfect.
It doesn't help at all for SecuROM versions starting from version 4.8x back in 2003.

i have an image made with DPM but still no luck

I have an image that was made with a recent release of Alcohol 120 using the securom database (the DPM was indicated to be successful in the log) but when I launch the application after mounting with daemon tools lite in win 8.1 I'm still prompted with securom error 1000
- insert original, not backup.

any thoughts?

Hi
In case you're using a DT device that error message is normal - DT devices only provide basic emulation.
Advanced emulation (e.g. for copy protections) is only available using SCSI devices.

If you already tried in a SCSI device the DPM maybe wasn't precise enough - other possible causes: http://forum.daemon-tools.cc/f19/gta...91/#post137126
