Star Wars Empire at War Gold

[j0rd]

Hi all,

I'd like to make an image of my 'Star Wars Empire at War Gold' dvd (disc swapping getting to me) for use with DT 4 Pro Adv.

Has anyone been able to do the above successfully? If so, I'd really appreciate the steps needed to do so - as I've yet to find a clearcut answer/methodology, from under a dozen threads I read regarding this game.

All help appreciated.

Thanks,
Jordan

Use New SecuROM profile.

Thanks for the quick & helpful response Blazkowicz!

Hi Jordan and Blazkowicz,

I've got the "Star Wars empire at wars Gold Pack" in german from 2009.

Unfortunately, although creating an image with setting "New SecuROM" I get the error message:
"Original dic could not be found or authenticated".

Do you have any further tips?

Thanks,
Peter

Try changing DPM speed.

already tried 16.0x and 2.4x ... but neither worked.

should I vary the "reading speed" as well?
should "ignore bad blocks" be marked?
is the default "3" in "retries on bad blocks" ok?

Browsing official & unofficial Lucasarts Forums you can find many people having problems with that title - even installation fails for many. Maybe some faulty pressing.

Please try the attached MDS file instead of yours.
If that doesn't help to pass the check as well please have a look at the advice in this post.

Strange, it worked for me, even with Deamon Tools Lite. I created the disk image with Alcohol 52% and used YASU for drive cloaking.(-> no special stuff). I have the german version, too, but I think my one is a bit older nevertheless it should work after cloaking the drive(s).

@DTF
Hi, which DT Pro version and which DVD drive (vendor, model) did you use to create your image(s) ?
Do you still have the MDS file created with DT Pro ? If yes, would you please upload to some filehoster ?

Hi Terramax,

I've got DT Pro 4.30.0305.0077
and a "HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH10L" DVD-writer (whatever this is).

Thanks,
Peter
