Hi, I'm still very new to A120 myself but after reading your post I ran a SecuRom 4.84 disc through it on the SecuRom *New (4.x/5.x) setting with the write set at 4X and got a coaster! I've used BlindWrite5 to do the same game with no problems so I'm very interested in getting A120 working. I'll join you in your quest for knowledge Rotary Now we just need to find Praetor.
Bummer. I just tried again and it's a no-go.

You try upping the DPM precision up to high?

DPM was set to 2X (High). I can say from personal experience that BW5 is extremely good at SecuRom (especially with a Plextor Premium) _X_X_X_X_X_[small] JMLS-166S/Plextor PX-708A/Plextor Premium My Movies! http://www.intervocative.com/dvdcollection.aspx/Rephaim[/small]
hi there, HEHE - i followed that guide of shoeys! got a BWA file off net! made image as securom new! (NOT! 4.8) as the protecton was? used alcoholer/twinpeak thing to mux the BWA+IMAGE (made 3 new files) RENANED the volume to preatorians (same as original) burnt with alcohol on securom new (with patched files/renamed) ALL DONE!!!!! needs emulation though? bit simple really when you know how! thx guys
A-Ray Scanner should eaisly detect the SecuROM version. I find Blindwrite 5 best for making backups of SecuROM. Hey, hey, hey Rotary
hi HEY there shoey long time no chat good bud! and! Whats all this on your computer specs in sig! MY GOD MAN! is that computer like a headless chicken to catch and turn on in the morning? MUHAHAH *** THAT IS SOME O/C DUDE !!! *** VERY NICE!!!! Thx....
Rotary,(good ole' buddy ole' pal) Specs on my sig are to show other forum members that with the proper cooling, supurb memory and a great vga card, one can seriously overclock! I'm not a big fan on my MSI mobo and plan and grabbing a GigaByte or Asus nForce2 (400 chipset) mobo. GigaByte slaughtered the Asus board at Toms hardware guide. Numerous tests on 9 mobo's and the GigaByte mobo won hands down.

hi yes gigabyte is packing a serious punch these days! i dont o/c to much these days but i had a xp1700 running at 2400 which was nice at time! i have: XP3000 amd 1gig Corsiar XMS platinum PC3500 434mhz 2x 160gig maxtors SERIAL-ATA150 (on mirror raid-0) A7V8x mobo Radeon 9700 pro 128meg HERCULES pioneer 106d frimv1.08 hacked 12x rip / rpc1 lite-on 52/24/52 samsung 48x/16x dvdrom ========================= i am now loking at this next!

Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe boards are awesome, but I read at Tom's hardware guide the BIOS crashed at OC'ed at 225 FSB (frequency). Hard to pass up the GigaByte mobo when the mobo supports 4x ide connections(up to 10 ide devices), dual BIOS, dual memory and a small fan on the nForce chip. _X_X_X_X_X_[small]MSI KT6V-LSR MS-7021 AMD Athlon XP 2500+ (OC'd to 3400+) 1 Gig Corsair XMS PC3200 (OC'd DDR500) MSI MS Starforce nVidia GeForce FX5500(256 DDR) Maxtor ATA\133 200 gig Lite-ON LTD165H DVD-ROM Lite-ON LDW411S DVD-Burner[/small]

Why Hercules? After all it's the vendor selling the nVidia chipset tech m8. For the price, tough to beat the MSI StarForce nVidia GeForce FX5500 (256 DDR). I got mine at Newegg obviously.
