For security purposes, this program will not run while system debuggers ...
 
I'm one of your people who wants to run cmud on Linux, I'm not asking for Linux support but I would like to know how to override this security feature?

For security purposes, this program will not run while system debuggers are active. Please remove or disable the system debugger before trying to run this program again.

You can't. It's part of the copy-protection system, and obviously for that reason we won't help you circumvent it. The sort of programs that trigger this are ones that scan your memory in an effort to read the data there; some products that claim to optimise your memory by re-ordering it and sorting it can also trigger this. You should try to turn off whatever feature of your emulator is setting it off.

CMUD is unsupported on Linux, which means you won't receive any help from Zugg with this problem. Perhaps one of the other forum users has managed to overcome this problem on Linux, but beyond that, I'm afraid you're on your own.

How do you try to run it? If you use Wine what version of Wine and cMUD do you use?

Last time I tried cMUD on Wine it was not a very pleasant experience. I had a lot of errors on how it painted the windows.

I had CMUD running fine on a clean Ubuntu build with latest version of Crossover (all default settings) if that helps.

I'm on Kubuntu Hardy (KDE4) with wine-0.9.59 installed via the repos, I had no problem at all with the installation or anything up to this point, however this is where I'm stuck at.

I already know Zmud will run on wine, as I've done it in the past, and being that I own both I would prefer to use CMud.

Honestly, there's no problem up till trying to launch CMud at all until this message, which so far as I can tell, is a CMud error not wine, which means that except for this limitation, CMud, as far as can be tested works flawlessly on the current version of wine on Kubuntu Hardy (KDE4) if properly configured.

I certainly understand your stance on this, but just to let you know, it's sort of ridiculous since with wine we have the source and could, if we wanted to, view anything at all that happens at runtime. I'm not saying this as a threat, it's simply fact.

I love Zuggsoft products. As I said above, I purchased and own two of them. This isn't an attempt to counter your statement or anything like that. Its just letting you know that, while it's justified and policy, it's a silly argument.

That said, I can accept that official support is not available, in fact I think I said that in the first post. I appreciate you taking the time to reply however ^^

It gives me an option at least if I can't get it to work with generic wine, as is my preference, thanks for posting ^^

Okay I have an update but I need to know if CMUD uses SafeDisc (though I can't figure out why it would since my understanding is it's for CDROM's) copy protection before posting my solution. If it does however use this method of protection, no solution will be posted, or I'll find another way to do it. I'll not promote the ability to pirate CMUD.

So again question: Does CMUD use SafeDisc?

It doesn't, anyway. If it did, I'd be considerably less enamoured with it :P No worries on that front.
