Starship Troopers (2005) Doesn't Recognize Game Disk

Open GT500org opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Note: I used Alcohol 120% to make images of game disks back in the day so I could play games without needing to insert the disk, so rather than digging through boxes in closets to find the disk I'm just using my old Alcohol image that I know used to work the last time I played the game (10+ years ago).

When launching the game (in compatibility mode with Windows XP SP2) the shim loads, but the game displays an error asking me to insert the correct DVD-ROM.

This is a bug with Alcohol virtual drive that causes disc check to fail in newer SafeDisc versions. There's a workaround for this in this pending pull request https://github.com/RibShark/SafeDiscShim/pull/16.

Thanks. I'll add the releases Atom feed to my feed reader so I know when there's a new release so I can try it.
