X 3 Reunion With Daemon Tools 4

[spejcic]

Is it possible to make a backup image for x 3 reunion without using anything but alcohol and daemon tools 4 ?

[Crypton]

Yes, make an image using Alcohol 120%, make sure you uninstall the game, use the StarForce Driver Removal Tool.

Then afterwards, uninstall and reinstall Alcohol 120% (SF3 renders Alcohol 120% unable to properly get DPM info) so reinstalling it is needed if you ran any game or even tried to run a game that has SF3 Protection.

Enable RMPS in Alcohol 120% in the options menu up top.

When you get to options, DPM set to Normal, Then when asked what speed for DPM Measurement, choose a mid range speed such as 4x or 8x and in some cases 16x is needed, (some may even be able to do 2x, but not many)

After making the image, you will still need to unplug your REAL CD/DVD Drives...

Then after that, simply mount the image to Daemon-Tools 4, (DO NOT enable any emulation options...)

Install the game, then run it, it will install SF3 Drivers again and will want a reboot, go ahead and do so, after reboot, try running the game again.. Make sure of course the image is still mounted to DT4..

Is there a way so i don't need to unplug my CD/DVD drive? Because I heard Daemon Tools are working on that so I wonder when they will finish?

At the moment you have to unplug your cables, a future version of Daemon Tools is meant to have the blocker with it so you don't have to unplug the cables all the time.

Can someone give me an .mds only from the full image of the game....Not the one that Crypton has at his crack but made with Alcohol 120% ... thanks..

[Crypton]

eh? I do not have a crack for the game, I made an image of mine.

I am assuming you have the UK DVD Version released by Deepsilver? If so, here ya go.

[NITROUS SYSTEM]

thank you very much..It is very different the one you have at your fix...it has 44kb and the other one is just 4kb..will try it and tell if works...

[NITROUS SYSTEM]

Hell yes it worked now i don't have to do all that it is included at your guide..Just mount my image and play....

[Crypton]

gratz, and lucky you, on my machine I just gotta unplug my real DVD drive, the guide I origionally wrote btw was made for Daemon-Tools v.3.47, which was about 1 week before the DT4 was released. I just have not updated it yet really.

[NITROUS SYSTEM]

You must update it....Keep up the good work...

Sorry to bring up an old subject but how much of the old guide do i follow.
lol plus i dont know what version i have of the game because it still comes up in english..... the only clue i might have that it might not be English it that it has a folder called "kochstart" which i seem to be the autorun folder

lol im completely lost

Edit: I have alcohol 120% & daemon tools 4 wot else might i need

[DuffMan]

You should be able to run this game with the new version of Daemon Tools and unplugging your IDE cable.
