BV and no CD?
Venusy:
The instructions in the FAQ only apply to Seasons and below, because I haven't yet got BV, and don't plan to until my PC gets an upgrade that will allow it to run the game faster than an image slideshow. If someone wants to provide a quick summary of the process for BV, I'll add it to the FAQ, but I'm not rereading this thread to find it.

Ok I am a little confused by the varying methods here. I first read the FAQs where JM explained how to play a "legally backed up copy". I've never done this before. I am currently "backing up a copy" of BV from firelight(?I think this was the name). I have installed NOTHING yet. I have XP home and a few programs that SecuROM would be against, I'm sure.
Because of JM's instructions I dled Daemon Tools and SecuROM Loader. Again, I haven't installed anything. Then I read moron's instructions in this thread and just in case that was the method I needed, I dled the mini-image and YASU.
So what I want to do is re-install all the EP's up to Seasons and the SPs Glamour and Family. That's the stuff I bought and paid for. And the patches. This part is mostly a no-brainer. I would like to ask though, are the patches necessary if you have the next expansion cd, or do you still have to install each one?
I also bought a copy of Celebration (afraid to install this now) and now the "backing up" of BV from firelight(?). That's where I need the help. Is there anyone who would be willing to tell me which method I should use and/or walk me thru it since I've never done this and don't know a thing about these programs?
Also, should I install the Celebration SP or download another "backed up" copy of this from somewhere, and how will it affect/when should it be done regarding the BV installation?
This is a pain in the ass, I know, but I've given them so much money for the headache it's given me and I don't want to shell out for BV yet. I'll pm my AIM name or email if anyone is interested in helping me out. It just seems like everyone is doing it slightly differently. Thanks.
1. Yes, install all the patches for each title you install.
2. If you plan on installing BV, go ahead and install Celebrations first. If you don't want ShitcureRom, install neither.
3. After you install BV, regardless of how you acquired it, you can use the method I posted, OR use a no-CD exe to run it without the CD or an image of it. The only plus to my method over using your own image is size on disk. The only plus to using my method vs. a no CD crack is you can easily patch my method using standard EA patches in the future without setting anything back up.

It's because of SecuROM. From their website, under their error message section:
"A required security module can not be activated. This program can not be executed.
SecuROM™ has determined a debugging or an emulation tool is running. Please refer to the following procedure to remedy:
Please deactivate these tools before starting the program. It's not necessary to uninstall them.
If the problem persists, please send a SecuROM™ analysis file to support@securom.com (see "Support Info" section on how to do that)."

I'm now using the Procyon torrent of BV and it works fine. I had set my game up in the same manner that moron described and it works sweet.
btw I'm still seeding that torrent if someone wants it.
