Sacred 1.6 runs smooth

[nazgul]

Oki I've been looking everywhere and it gave me the solution ... Download DaemonScript from D-tools and use it to time-delay enabling RMPS emulation, I put 6 times enabling and 1 second timer between each ... Afterwhat I just bump with 5 more Enablers straight ... Guess What ?? The 1.6 version runs now each time I execute my script ! with the last 1.6.022, and a Cyclone burnt baby . Now Try and you will say thank you to the frenchie

You'll have to adjust timer according to you CD reader speed ( faster means more timers ... ) That trick works only with burnt copies, no image emu .

:banana: :banana: :banana:

just attached my Daemon script file, still you need to download and install Daemon script

[breez]

No go, although I don't know if the burned copy of mine is proper for this one (image worked alright with prev. sacred version).

Earlier yesterday I did try kind of a same thing, made a batch file which executed daemon.exe -rpms on command and then looped that infinitely but no go (with image)

[nazgul]

98 % working, sometimes timing of the nasty protectCD bumps error but mostly it is running smooth, started the game about 10 times and no problem ...

[meXes]

someone pls atach the DaemonScript becouse i can`t find it anywere !!!

[nazgul]

Daemon Script

[meXes]

this fix only works with cd's ???? it doesen`t work with images ???

[nazgul]

no way with image only a clean copy made in the state of art with protectCD V5 profile in alcohol ... Deviance VOB patched, or Cyclone CD image required ( both works )

[nazgul]

of course uncheck RMPS emulation in alcohol before trying this, only leaving D-tools emulation

[Shears]

Not working for me. Edit: Maybe I just don't understand the instructions... :blacsigh

Burned cyclone release image for cd-1 using Alcohol 120% with CD Protect VOB selected. Burned deviance image for cd-2 using nero, regular settings. Uninstalled Alchol 120% then installed Sacred-full then patched it to 1.6 then started Daemon Tools up with RMPS off then ran nazgul's DaemonScript and game booted perfectly, nice fps performance boost too with the patch, thanks nazgul!

Hmmmm. Didn't work for me. Did you change the "run app" part of his daemon script fragasm? I looked at it and it has "jeux" in the file path (obviously french version) and the drive letter is F. I tried dragging my shortcut into the script but that didn't work. (as a sidenote, I have never heard sounds like that come out of my cd drive before. lol)

Yeah forgot to say that part, changed the path to the app inside the script first to "C:\Program Files\Ascaron Entertainment\Sacred\Sacred.exe" and the start up path to "C:\Program Files\Ascaron Entertainment\Sacred". Also if it makes any difference the version I have is the UK version. It's working great and what nazgul said is true if you have a slower cd-rom you might need to add more pauses and RMPS calls inside the script.

[Jagadance]

Argh. Still wont work for me. I added a total of 240 extra delay and emulation rmps enables and it still didn't do the trick. English version here too. Ah well.

[terminaldogma]

Cool! The Daemon Script worked for me after a few tweaks.

1. I increased the initial delay before starting the repeating emulation call (5 sec instead of 2)

2. Added lines before even calling the program to turn off all emulation (wouldn't work without it)

3. Added a TON more repetitions.

4. And most importantly, according to the DT forums, Ascaron fixed this so the game (even a real original) will now not work with ANY SCSI drives (apparently)...I have 2 drives in my machine, a SCSI CDR and an IDE DVDR, and while the 1.5 emulation method worked fine with a burned Deviance-VOB patched CD in the SCSI, it now only works in the IDE.

Thanks!

[hino]

what about if i ve only got deviance image and dont have the cycloned cd-1,can i do this as well?

[nazgul]

nope, you'll have to patch the image VOBs first ... I'm glad it works also for others, not just for me ; Sure you got to hustle some with this trick and delay more or less the timer thingie ... But if you keep hammering RMPS with this, you'll surely run the game one time, so keep on trying . It works

[breez]

So what should I do with alcohol 120% read image (from original with protectcd5 profile)? Does this need some patching first?

[BirdDog]

Dump ?
I now i got the Deviance release, but do i allso need a extra file? U guys are talking about VOB patch?
Can i just applay this patch 2 my image file and then reburn or what?

[nazgul]

yes there is a VOB patch for the deviance img, look through sacred 1.5 threads on this forum, use search

[nazgul]

Let me think ........ nope

[StanRex]

i ll try to upload the patch on a ftp if I can find the time...

[bobdoe]

Wow...amazingly this technique works.
Burnt using alcohol120% on an 80 min cd. Loaded the script with modified sacred.exe root. Load script, it gets passed cd check, then loads up some weird dos box that loads when you use updcheck. Wait for the box to go away(1 min or so) then game loads up. Thx OP

[Dixevil]

i have no public ftp

[nazgul]

Let's say : if you don't want to fight a bit leave it and wait for som'thing else . If you want to play 1.6.22, take the time to use the daemon script and hustle with it ... If you have protection error, game not loading, and RMPS emulation unchecked after trying, you'll need to compensate in your script the timer delays ... It is not an all-in-one script, you need to tweak it to your conf speed ( especially the CD reader speed ) ... But you'll be successfull at the end ... It takes 30 minutes in worst case

[BirdDog]

But i need the VOB patch before i EVer will get the deamon script to work?
Is this Right?
Let's say that i somehow find that file, Do i have 2 burn it with alcohol 120% or can i use Fireburner?
