Emulation Detected Problem

Burning Software Copy Protection
#1

Hey guys,

Well I have been trying to play Dawn of War Soulstorm. I just got this game and I installed it onto my computer. But I keep getting an error that emulation software detected please disable all emulation software.
I am using D-tools lite and alcohol 120%. So I first tried to just disable virtual drives. That didn’t work.
I have uninstalled both alcohol and d-tools. The game still says emulation detected.
And I am trying to run the game with the original disk.
I have also tried going through the registry and looking for things like clonecd in the registry because I tried clonecd and blindwrite along with alcohol until i decided to purchase alcohol.
Need help I want to play my games that I am using original disc for.

#2

Do you still have either blindwrite or CloneCD on your system?

#3

no but i tried uninstalling sptd and that allowed me to play the game. so i got somewhere but i dont know if there is a way to have this installed and still be able to play the game because without sptd i cannot use alcohol or daemon tools. i dont know if anyone has any ideas on what there is to try to get around this but i seem to have found the key issue i think.

#4

Can you post the used protection including version and which dtools version and sptd driver did you use?

#5

SecuROM, 7.21.0009
i tried daemon 4.06 and 4.123
and yasu 1.4.7080

sptd driver 1.56

#6

The latest dtools lite version shouldn’t have any problems with this securom version in the case a created a ‘good’ image. What was the exact emulation detected error message?

#7

it just say emulation software detected please disable and exit software.

but its not an image thats problem its not even letting me use the original cd to play the game.

#8

Normally you’ll get an error code or a more detailed description of the problem in this message including a link to the securom page. You uninstalled blindwrite ez-play separately as blindwrite doesn’t remove it in the normal uninstall process.

#9

thats all i get and it doesn’t have a link and yes i uninstalled ez-play and everything associated with blindwrite

#10

Yup, blindwrite’s ez-play must either be uninstalled or disabled to run even an original disc protected with recent versions of securom.

@Spriggs20xx
Have you tried reinstalling Daemon Tools/SPTD ?
Sometimes there are strange conflicts that can be avoided by an uninstall/reinstall of SPTD.

#12

i have tried running the reinstalling sptd i will try that out and let you guys know the outcome.

and as far as the registry i did go through it and made sure there was nothing blindwrite including ezplay in it.

#13

so i have good news,

now i am able to run the game with alcohol 120% and d-tools lite without any problems. I just had to use yasu 1.3.7071, and that solved the issue with emulation detected

after that started working i went ahead and made an image and that also works.

something interesting i found out is that yasu 1.3.7071 works with alcohol and daemon tools but yasu 1.4.7080 only works with daemon tools and not alcohol. and personally i have had no luck with 1.4.

thanks for all the help guys
