I was curious as to why the sh4.exe from 1.4 was only 1.94G in size while the 1.5 sh4.exe is 6.64G. Among other things, yes, it looks like the SecurROM code was added back in... The sh4.exe adds 3 new code areas, ars, est and .securom, along with 2 new data areas, artem and celare. There is also a new paul.dll file in the root directory that appears to be associated with Securom.
I'm sure there were other changes to the sh4.exe in 1.5 to account for it's increase in size as well.
