I just got the latest beta of BW6 (6.0.0.11) and it now seems to include something called "EZ-Play". Does anyone know what this is? It appears to be a driver of some kind or another (but not a replacement for VSO's Patin-Couffin driver...) but I haven't determined what it's used for.

It seems to be a replacement for the old Autoplay driver, something like an RMPS emulator ?!?
In their email VSO wrote "Blindwrite 6 offers now the EZ-Play-technology, in order to simplify the use of backup copies."

But it doesn´t install under my 64Bit XP, so I can´t try it out...

support for 64bits needs the driver to be signed. We are working on it , it will be available in a future version.
About EZ-Play, yes it replaces the Autoplay RPMS emulation

I tried again to install the driver with version 6.0.0.11 and this time it seems to work on XP64, I told windows to ignore that the driver is not signed.

So I wanted to see how it works and I made a backup copy of my Dreamfall DVD with Starforce Protection.

But as I wrote in another thread, BW6 said on the one hand "Backup tagged for EZ-Play" and on the other hand "warning: Media topology ignored", so it seems to me, the topology isn´t written to the EZ-Play information on the disc. And so the copy didn´t start the game, as expected.

I tried to modify an unofficial profile to "Write topology = 1" but BW doesn´t care, the topology is ignored nevertheless.

Am I really too stupid?

Hi there,

I am not a game person, so bare with me !

One thing I know for sure, Blindwrite 6 did not update the StarForce support.

All the other ones were updated to support the latest SecureRom, SafeDisk and all the other ones I'm not aware of

Yeah, I got the email (Gold Membership) but it's really vague. From what I gathered through researching RPMS, the people who do know what it is/how it works won't tell you because then Sony (, etc.?) might be able to block it. Whatever. As long as it works...
