Daemon Tools 4.00 IS released


Recommended Posts

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!

Nothing in the world is free....creation, bandwith, the amount of stuff you guys probably steal with this program.....jeez, you kids are NEVER happy

at least they are telling you

they were going to charge money for this build and decided not to, id rather have it free with the option of ad-ware being installed, its not like any of us are stupid enough to accept it

deal with it or find an alternative to this great program

I hope they arn't as dishonest as Messenger Plus!
Umm... MsgPlus was entirely honest about it. Nice big warning about it.

Anyhow yeah, its too bad all of these programs are turning to adware for funding, but thats the kinda world we live in today = /

Through donations, of course. Look at Azureus. It's freeware and receives all its revenue from donations.

If the program is good, donations will come in.
