Root Double - can't get through the protection?

[Vokoca]

Hi guys,

 

so I wanted to try out Root Double, but the problem is I can't get through the DVD protection. I've installed the VN just fine, but when I launch it, I get this error. I thought I'd get around this with an SCSI drive on DT, but for some reason that doesn't help at all. I'm running Windows 8.1.

 

Any ideas?

To get it working I had to install it with SCSI drive, then have it mounted in SCSI each time I want to play it.

Yeah, you need to mount it in a SCSI drive.

Hm, that's odd. I tried reinstalling it with a SCSI drive just in case, but I got the same result. Maybe they changed something with Daemon Tools? Is there some reasonable alternative?

[fun2novel]

There is no need to reinstall it, just mount the iso into a SCSI drive. The disc needs to be mounted for the game to play, it will not play if you don't mount the disc.

[Vokoca]

Well, as you can see on that last screenshot, it is mounted. :x

This is not the same issue as with SCSI drive. In that case it tells you that the key doesn't match the disc. But here it mentions install error.

In this case you see this issue because Route Double is not compatible with Windows 8.1.

Ah, I thought it was a security error.... Damn. Well, I'll try reinstalling it/launching it in compatibility mode or something. Thanks for clearing it up.

[fun2novel]

Yeah maybe a win8 problem. Damn win8 why is it so stupid!

Seriously. :/ Compatibility mode/reinstall didn't help. Even tried installing the old DirectX that came on the .iso, didn't help either. Gah, I guess I won't be reading this one.

You can always go with VirtualBox. Its a must have software for anyone who wants to use stupid OSes ^__^

But personally I wouldn't be reading it anyway. I am waiting for Xtend Edition windows port (official or fanmade)

Is there any wort on any of those even happening?

 

I was considering buying Xtend on the Vita as it was on sale, but I have a problem with the kanji being too small on the Vita. :/

Hello, I'm running it on windows 8.1 and it works fine, for make it works I mounted the .mds file with SCSI drive then start the game and it should works.

PS: You need to keep your .mdf file, if you don't your .mds file cannot be mounted.
