phoenix and vodka were both kind enough to let us know that a new version of the Alcohol 120% software has been released. Version 1.3.3.1027 has some small fixes and supports new languages:
Fix Crash problems with German language file in previous version.
Fix some minor bugs
New French, Portguese(Brazil), Catalan language support
New Add Data Position Measurement function. Only avaliable for dumping. If you don't know what this please see information in 2 "other" urls
Alcohol 120% has some impressive features on board and if you've read our main page lately you will have noticed that this new software is currently said to beat both the new SecuRom and latest SafeDisc (2.80) copy-protections.

Using Alcohol 120% v1.3.3 (build 1027), I successfully created a virtual image of Unreal Tournament 2003.
I used a Lite-On LXR-24101A external USB 2.0 burner to read the CD. I selected the 'Securom *NEW (V4.x)' 'Datatype', and left the 'Read Speed' at 'Maximum'.
It took about 12 minutes to do the 'Data Position Measurement' analysis, and another 3 minutes to copy the CD to my hard disk.
I had to do two non-default things to get the game to work after making the virtual copy on my hard disk:
1. Mount the virtual image onto the virtual drive.
2. Under 'File... Options... Emulation...' Check 'Sub-Channel Data Fixed & Emulation'.
3. Dismount all DAEMON-Tools virtual images.
It takes about 15 extra seconds for the SecuRom pointer icon to go away, but the game starts up, and plays great!

Hi.
Just did a back-up of ut2003 (aus). Used standard securom new (4.X) settings and left all normal. Had to use my pioneer 117, coz the litey 48125w doesnt read DPM data. Anyway the dpm analysis took 10:31 mins, and reading took 4:20. Daemon tools failed to load it correctly. Loaded it up with alcohol, and did what radojevic said, and it failed to work...
i then restarted the pc, and it worked... I exited the game, tried again, and it failed. I think it has something to do with daemon tool running, but im not sure... ill do some more digging about...
got it working
re-did the image using my liteon 48125w using 24x DPA speed, and the image was created in under 8mins.
I use daemon tools 3.23 with no emulation options and it works after about 10sec. of the securom cd spinning.
I think the problem was that my pioneer 117 cant read sub-channel data properly..
sweet as!
