Why doesn't the DVD-ROM emulation work with alcohol 120%?

Question

I have an image of gta san andreas, but it is not 1:1 copy.

when i try to emulate it with alcohol, it doesn't work. It keeps telling me: wrong disc inserted. Even when all the emulation options are turned on.

I tried it with daemon tools, but the same thing happens.

Answer 1

1.   its illegal.  not going to tell you how to fix it on the message boards

2.  Its because Alcohol 120 cant handle SecuROM 7, it could hardly handle SecuROM 4 even a year or 2 after it was released.  They win in that field.

Hate to have you re-download it, but the bay never disappoints. The one have might be a fake or damaged copy. Also try the latest daemon.

Answer 3

It's because you need the original copy for the game to work.

Alcohol isn't enough.
