Safedisc has now been working on wine for almost a year, but it'll still take some time before we get the code into winehq, so I've decided to build an RPM of wine with safedisc 1 support so users can play around with it, you can download it from http://www003.portalis.it/115/wine-safedisc-0.9.16-mdk.i586.rpm Safedisc 2 and above are not supported. This is based on wine 0.9.16, however it isn't an official winehq release, and is provided on an as is basis. To run a safedisc protected game, you must run winecfg and set the drive type of your cdrom drive to "cdrom" in the drives tab. Yes, this sounds dumb, but it has to be done. Then run the game normally, and as long as you have an original CD (Ok, copies can work too but that's Macrovision's fault) in the drive, the game will start.

Can you tell us what are all the specific pathces went in to this rpm with releated to safedisc?
I know that Vitaly's ntoskernel patch is isn, what else.
Thanks, Vijay

All the safedisc related code developed in the last year or so, I can send you a full diff against winehq if you want.

Hi,
I am just wanting to keep the patch as a diff somewhere like the ddraw patch maintained by Stephan Dosinger.
Thanks, Vijay

Is the reason why not on the Wiki? Would be cool to get it there if not.

It sounds dumb because it is dumb, it implies a big failure in our auto detection code. I think the drive autodetect code I wrote was never enabled was it, as we now use HAL anyway, but it seems we really need to fix this bug ...
