This may be a crazy idea, but one thing to make sure of is to remove any CD/DVD/BluRay discs from the drive(s). So, if you are trying to play "The Witcher" with a Mass Effect 2 disc in the drive, you may get an error about the wrong disc being in the drive, even if your GJ profile is correct...

Don't be afraid to make a new profile with the new versions. A reason is that the method of creating profiles WILL change over time to handle new protection methods or handle the most recent versions of protection methods. So, if profiles break going to a new version, instead of complaining...

For those with the original game, you can patch the game to the EE version for free. It still requires the original game disc and such, you just don't need to buy the game again to get the new content and such. I don't know about the protection on the EE version, but I suspect you will need...

I am just posting this to let people know about a few tiny little bugs relating to Game Jackal Plus(the plugin). My configuration is: Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit running Game Jackal 3.0.2.4 rc2(still beta), and Game Jackal Plus 3.0.2.0. First, make sure you shut down Game Jackal...

I just tested the beta with Free Time(including the new patch). Made a new profile without a problem. The error 6000 thing seems to be an issue with SecuROM and some sort of timeout in the protection.

From my own experiences, there are MANY problems with the new Free Time patch. The "security module" error shows up frequently when I have the CD in the drive without Game Jackal being loaded. I get the error 1000 telling me to insert the original CD instead of a copy as well with the...

For those like myself that do system upgrades on a somewhat regular basis, with the possibility of blowing away Windows and doing a full re-install, I am still a bit worried about the whole issue with the limited activations. If you re-install on a fresh install of Windows on the same...

Game Jackal is not a CD/DVD/Blu-Ray copy program, but emulates the copy protection of Microsoft Windows based games so that you do not need the original game disc in order to play.

There is usually one CD you leave in the drive when you play the game(without game Jackal being in the picture). When you create the profile with Game Jackal, you use THAT CD/DVD to make the profile. Now, there can be issues where a game will pull data from the game disc while playing, so...

I didn't say it was the most secure, just that because it isn't used extensively, there are relatively few programs that will emulate it. Anything can be cracked quickly, and there is NOTHING out there that can't be cracked these days.

The best way to explain is to cover the basics of how a profile is made, and that may help. In Game Jackal, you tell it you want to create a new profile. The normal behavior is for the CD/DVD to NOT be in the drive at the time. So, you are then prompted to either use a pre-created...

There are some games that just don't work with Game Jackal, but the vast majority work. The real question is what game you were having trouble with, your version of Windows, if you have any other programs that take control of the CD/DVD drive, and so on.

Playing games should be more important than watching them. :D

The profile map would only provide a quick way to set the parameters and such, but would not be a way to avoid needing the original CD/DVD to create the profile in the first place. The profile maps are there to help with things like which sectors need to be scanned during the profile creation...

From reading these forums, the big feature addition in Game Jackal 3.0(when it is released) is 64 bit support. The beta versions do work under Vista 64 bit, but obviously, these have bugs that are being worked out before the full "official" release.

I estimate that we have roughly three to five years before we see a 64 bit version of Windows start to be standard on new computer purchases. This estimate is based on the current number of new systems that come with 4 gigs of memory installed, as well as the amount of memory on video cards...

Also, try to re-install your license since that can also cause it.

Wow, just found a big bug... I can't verify if this bug still exists with beta 3, but it did with beta 2, and it's something I would not expect most people to run into, so may still exist. So, here's what happened: I have a Lite-on LH-20A1H DVD-RW drive that had LL0A firmware on it. Game...

I asked about Tages back after I bought The Witcher. It is high on the list, but is set for after the 3.0 release. The 64 bit version is a higher priority at this point(for good reason), so until that is updated and working well, I wouldn't expect Tages to get much attention. Keep in...

Image mode is for those games that read from the CD/DVD while playing. What it does is to make a CD/DVD image on the hard drive that contains the full contents of the disc. Note this takes a LOT of room compared to a normal Game Jackal profile, so if you can avoid it, then you should.
