Ok, well I was able to make a full copy of the game, but when I insert it I get an error saying please insert actual disc not a back up. How does it detect this? I used DVDFab to clone it.
I burned it to a DVD+R-DL.
When I mounted the ISO, and ran it virtually, it gave me error code 1000, now with a burned disc, it gives me error code 1004.
I am probably going to, I was just trying to figure out how it possibly recognizes as a copy, even though its an exact clone.
Thanks, that cleared everything...Its impossible to burn a copy of new Securom and new Starforce protected games because the Data Densitiy and Data Position information are based on the physical layout of the sectors on the disk. A manufactured blank DVD already has a physical structure.
Its impossible to run Securom games in a virtual drive because there is no software capable of reading the Data Density information. Only Data Position Measurement can be copied, which is useless for Securom.
The only way is a DRM stripped exe aka no-cd crack.
Securom doesn't require the disc anymore for new games, and almost everything uses Securom now.
