Hello,

Then SecuROM scans the disc for a short time (say 30 seconds) and produces a
window with the following error message:

Roller Coaster Tycoon (R) 3
Please insert the original disc instead of a backup. See
www.securom.com/copy for more details

well, this seems to be an improvement over previous versions (citing comment
#46):

Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 is still broken in wine-0.9.49.

And yes, it is SecuROM, as shown when attempting to run "wine RCT3plus.exe". A
popup appears with only the following message, and a button that shuts down the
program (and wine, obviously):

"A required security module can not be activated. This program can not be
executed."

Can you remove aclayers.dll and re-run if the error message changes?
I'm not sure if this check is used in Securom 5.x.
The patch/trick was tested against *media-less* Securom v7.x game Sam & Max
from comment #62 (downloadable from inet).

Regarding the overall situation for Securom 5/7.x with original media: there is
little to nothing I can do.
It's useless to make assumptions from console/relay output.
This stuff needs to be debugged alive with original media present.
