Recently, I updated win 10 and can't make this game to work. I tried using safediscshim but no way. Any clue?

Certain SafeDisc 2 executables seem to not launch on modern Windows. This happens even when using the official driver rather than SafeDiscShim, so it isn't a problem with this tool. Regardless, I will list the affected titles here and continue to look for a solution:

• Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 (SETUP.EXE)
• Kao the Kangaroo [US release] (kao.exe)

Does not seem to work for this game.

I have certain SafeDisc "partial removed" protected games that can launched successfully before I reinstall Windows 11 and SafeDiscShim also installed in the previous Windows 11, however SafeDiscShim failed to run any games after I install it after a new fresh installation of Windows 11.

Right now I temporarily uninstalled SafeDiscShim and those partial games can be run again.

The Retail version of The Wheel of Time does not start with this.

The game was originally released on 2 CDs, disc 2 being the one that SafeDisc needs to do its thing.

The Wheel of Time uses SafeDisc V1, and I read what you said about some versions needing the drvmgt.dll removed from the same location as the exe. The Wheel of Time does not have this file present amongst the game's files, but it is located on disc 2 which is the disc required for SafeDisc. Because of it being on the disc, the dll file cannot be removed.

There are two retail versions of The Wheel of Time game: Version 300 and Version 333b. Version 300 is what is installed directly from the discs while 333b is an official patch for the game.

On the plus side, upon launching the game, the disc drive is being used and the splash screen (which originally does not show up) now shows up which does not happen originally without your software installed, the game just won't launch.

I have provided logs for both versions of the game (in case they do something slightly different).

Version 300:
WoT.exe_300_SafeDiscShim.log
WOT.ICD_300_SafeDiscShim.log

Version 333b:
WoT.exe_333b_SafeDiscShim.log
WOT.ICD_333b_SafeDiscShim.log

Hello, RibShark
I was brought to your SafeDiscShim code by a post on DxWnd forum by MrPepka, the guy that also wrote a post to you about the Polish version of "Tom & Jerry".
I couldn't analyze completely the problem yet, but I got the suspicion that your shim and DxWnd could be incompatible when used together because they both rely on code injection hooks that could interfere with each other, but in theory is could be possible to integrate the logic of your shim with the DxWnd hooks.
So, I wrote this message to ask you permission to be inspired by your source code and add this SafeDiscShim functionality to my DxWnd tool, of course keeping due reference to you as author of the code.
You can visit the DxWnd pages on SourceForge and take a look to the DxWnd help/about section where I added the references to the open-source licence (a GPL v3) and hall of fame with all the contributors.
Thank you for your attention,
Ghotik

Please help, this game don't startup on PC. I just using Taiwanese protected version

I am using on Windows 10

I apologize to repeat here some of the questions I made in the closed thread, but I was not sure that you read it.
So, I'll repeat some questions trying to be short and not to steal too much of your time:

1. could you suggest a SafeDisc target for testing that works with your shim? I picked "Age of Empires II" but I'm not sure it would be the easiest case, since in this case there is a drvmgt.dll file in the game folder
2. In your opinion it would be correct to hook kernel32:DeviceIoControl in addition to ntdll:NtDeviceIoControlFile? I did that and it seemed ok, but I don't know ...
3. The Process::Relaunch() method in your project seems unreferenced, is that correct?
4. if you have time, please read the longer plea in the original thread

Thank you,
Gho

The v0.1.1 installer is flagged by Windows Defender as containing "Trojan:Win32/Znyonm". I'm running Windows 11 23H2, fully updated. I've tried redownloading it several times.
v0.0.1 doesn't trigger this detection, but it also doesn't work on Age of Empires 2 (even after deleting drvmgt.dll)

Re-running the installer seems to give no option. Preferably I'd like to temporarily disable the shim but in particular I'd like to avoid the spawning of child processes while I debug the original executable.

Windows 10 Home Edition, version 22H2. OS build 19045.3930. Doesn't give me any more information than "This app can't run on your PC."

It appears that none of SafeDisc 1 games work for me, ICD always crashes in dplayerx.dll. Tried the following games:

• Need for Speed: High Stakes
• Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed
• LEGO Racers

Running Windows 10. Using Alcohol 120% to mount Redump disc images. Not an issue with the game code since cracked exe produced by UnSafeDisc works fine. The games do work if Alcohol virtual drive is passed through to Windows XP VM.

installing CoD 2 from dvd with patch 1.2 works, but after upgrading to version 1.3 via the offical patch the singleplayer executable complains that it cannot find the disc.

I can't run this game. It has SafeDisc 2.90.040. The game crashes when starting. I have the game disc image mounted in DT Lite in IDE mode. I am attaching logs from the program
TomJerry.exe_Cleanup_SafeDiscShim.log

Before deleting Drvmgt.dll The Sims base game won't start at all and no log is created at the game folder.
After deleting Drvmgt.dll it still won't start, but three log files are created:
Sims.exe_SafeDiscShim.log
clokspl.exe_SafeDiscShim.log
SIMS.ICD_SafeDiscShim.log

Edit: I'm using Windows 11 x64.

Will this ever work on Linux via Wine?
