DAEMON TOOLS V4.00 released

[MindTooth]

Dear DT-Community,

 

today, we release the new V4.00.

 

As we already heard from our customers, it fixes indeed

most or even all blacklists - however, it is STILL a SCSI-Emulator,

therefore it's still necessary to remove present IDE-Drives!

 

As nearly all protections now block ALL SCSI-Drives, no matter

if REAL or VIRTUAL, you need to DISABLE your ide-drives!

This version is more or less only a "next step", it does NOT

contain an IDE-Jammer atm. However, we are working on it and

will hopefully have it ready soon. So be warned - do NOT complain

about the "lack" of the IDE-Jammer-Device. We release it now,

as is. It fullfilles its job as long as no IDE is present in

System or you otherwise block that IDE-nodes. After all it's

STILL free!

 

Another important change is the integration of ADWARE.

Yes, we need that revenues. However, we decided to let

YOU choose to run it with ADWARE and support us - or simple

turn it OFF in installation-process and run it same way

as former versions - without ADWARE. By default, it is turned

ON - to not install that ADWARE, please UNCHECK at installation

"DAEMON TOOLS SEARCHBAR" (or you can remove it anytime later when

you wish via "Control Panel"-> "Add/Remove programs")

 

We leave that decision to you, so please don't blame us that we did

it that way. It was a compromise to continue the free support -

we would much appreciate it if you install that ADWARE-stuff. We set-

up a special forum so please post in THAT forum only about questions,

concerns or anything else that is related to that ADWARE. The forum's

name is "DAEMON Tools Searchbar".

 

To sum it up:

- NO IDE-Jammer atm - we are working on it! No ETA for it - it's done

when it's done!

- ADWARE INCLUDED - you can, however, UNCHECK that ADWARE at installation!

 

The changelog for V4:

 

- complete redesign from scratch

 

- support of 4 virtual drives

 

- ONLY X32-supported now. X64 will follow

 

- Drivername randomly generated on each machine (not finished yet)

 

- Drive-vendor and versionnumber randomly generated

 

- Complete new emulation architecture

 

- DCP (DaemonCodeProtect) to make analyses harder and increase development time for malicious anti-DT tools

 

- Digital signature verification of applications who are trusted to access DT in secure mode

 

- AutoInsertNotification fully implemented (can be turned on/off at ControlPanel)

 

- Dropped: MS-Installer, DT now use modificated NullsoftInstaller

 

- Dropped: analog sound support (as Windows 2000 and above do not need this feature)

 

- supports all popular copyprotections

 

Again: This version is an "in between" step to fix latest issues not only

with protections but also many other issues and installation-problems.

We work hard to release soon next update!

Synes dette virket som en useriøs lansering. Da de har lagt til adware og fjernet både IDE-emulering pluss støtte for windows xp 64bit.

 

Hva mener dere?

Ja, skuffende dette... Får holde meg til Alchohol 120% en stund til ser det ut til.

Mener ikke være en såkalt "noob" nå, men hva mener de egentlig med ide-jamming? At man ikke kan ha ide-devicer tilkoblet (som cd-rom; virker jo rart) eller at den virtuelle rom'en må være scsi? Hva betyr det i praksis?

Fordi en del kopisperrer nekter å la f.eks spill funke under et oppsett med IDE og SCSI sammen. Går ikke helt inne i dette, da det kan bryte rettningslinje!

Takk for oppklaringen. Da virker det jo som mer jobb å benytte daemon-tools enn andre verktøy som ligger ute. Tyder på en release som kun er gitt ut for å lette på trykket fra brukere.
