If you get the error"unable to authenticate original cd" a fix that wokred for me!!

[Debrox]

When you try to run the game and you get that error talking about authentiacting the original disc then do this:
Corse A.
Step 1: Dl new firmware
Corse B(if there is no firmware for you(thats me))
Step 1:stick cd 2 in
Step 2:copy everything from cd 2 into a random folder anywhere you want(this may take up to like 50 minutes do to the slow cd speed!)
Step3:double click the autostart from the folder and push play now
step4: listen at the music!! your cd rom should actually be ROTATING the cd!! and then BAM the game starts!

Also if you had the problem stated above you probably had a extremely slow install when it came to cd #2 being inserted, i myself had to wait about 30 minutes to install the game

Ok this totally blows. yesturday night i did it twice and it worked like a charm and i got all excited, but when i woke up i'm trying it but its not working :angry:

ill post if i can get it to work again...

OK THIS IS HOW IT WORKS
everytime you restart your computer you have to recopy it to a new folder :sad: whcih takes about 30 minutes but HEY at least you can still play if you experience this problem!!

Try to only copy the autostart-.exe to your harddisc (or minimize the effort in any other way).

The authehtication-error is propably caused by bad response times while executing the autostart AND checking the authenticy of the CD (which requires specific response times - too slow is bad and too fast is bad). When starting the autostart from the harddrive it might solve this problems and the authenticy check returns valid response times.
(Just a guess...)

I hope this helps. :go:
Have fun playing! :smile:
