So you say it works? Without unplugging / hiding ide?

I had my CD-R unplugged as I mentioned in the .txt file enclosed , and now I tried plugging it back in and tested ... worked 100% perfectly , altho it took more than 20 seconds for the protection screen to finish . be patient :)

Tried it with DVD-RW drive connected. Takes less than a second until sf tells me to insert the disk. Tried with TM Sunrise and Codename: Panzers Phase One

Sorry guys I have a notebook How can I know if I have an IDE or a SCSI drive?????:eek:

wierd , tried disconnecting or disabling nodes ?
It works perfectly fine here !
altho I have a CD-R not a DVD .

Just say YES to the question when ur asked in the dtools setup Duke ,if that's what are u refering to
Does not work for me, but I did not disconnect the drives because I have a laptop...
There is a DVD mini image someone posted, but is there one for CD?
I tried making one on my own, but it did not really work...
prollfin
14-11-2005, 15:35
Okay, Securom 7 seems to work, although I had to deactivate my cd drive to play FEAR. But I guess that is because I originally installed the game from the original cd. Should try to reinstall from virtual drive...

Dude I have just tried using your linked daemon tools 4 install above to no avail. I have a image of the dvd in a virtual drive too but no luck.

lets keep it in the already existing thread eh
I just tried the Dtools site. Works fine.

To be honest it seems no better at SF emulation than 3.47 was, I'm seeing very little difference so far....
EDIT: Certain games I had previously needed to 'disable node' in sfn and use sfcure with now run with just DT, tho I still have to disconnect the IDE drives....

Same for me - dont work with X3.
Does this work for FEAR 1.02??
prollfin
15-11-2005, 05:20
It works with FEAR 1.02, i tested it.
crypto6600
15-11-2005, 07:43
I get it now , but this is strange , since I've connected 2 CDs now ( an Asus CD-r and and Acer CD-rom ) and X3 still work
I also tried " Second Sight " which had starforce and Street Racing Syndicate which also had Starforce, all of them worked with and without my cd-roms plugged
but if it DT can play the games with only unplugging ur cd / dvd and without the need for all that sf tools which if u don't mind me saying ... CRAP
then i think it's one step on the future, anyways I am sorry I couldn't help you all as much as I thought I would , I just felt the urge to share this , since I know most of u are hating the **** out of starforce .. :(
I tried ;)
How about SPLINTER CELL CHAOS THEORY ?
How about SPLINTER CELL CHAOS THEORY ?
does it works with starforce? without phisically unplug cd rom drives?
did u unplug the cdroms before install the game?
yeah ... is DT4 able to play SCCT ??
that would be great... ! :)

15-11-2005, 10:43
it won't bite you , nor HARM u to download a 2mb file and try out for urself ? or simply READ THE REST OF THE POSTS !
it does emulate Starforce , for some ppl ( like me and someother guy ) u dont need to plug before install or even after install , but for the rest , it just replaces all the starforce crappy tools ( nightmare / vcd hide / all that crap ) all u need is unplug cd/dvd , run the game .
crypto6600
15-11-2005, 10:43
I don't own or HAVE :P SSCT , so I wouldn't know .
Not SFCure is Crap, D-Tools4 is!:mad:
It has not a simgle new feature
SR7 STOP and Safedisc Hider can't hide D4 drives
This mean s u can't play SD4.6 or SR7 games
I don't give a **** on using several SF tools but I WON'T unplug my drives
U only can let them connected if they are CD drives and not DVD drives
At the moment I prefer d347

15-11-2005, 11:52
ahhh ... excuse me .. but are u saying doing all these crappy steps using crappy untrusted progies .. to wish for a hope that u wish of a dream that u might be able to run that or this starforce game .... insted of just putting ur original DVD in ( that's if its original in the first place ) and saying that its easier .... lol , you must have lotsa troubles in your life , good luck !
and btw Prolfinn has already stated " Okay, Securom 7 seems to work "
so I don't know what you're talkin about , you sound like I DEVELOPED dt4 and ur pissed off that i didnt make it do the things u wanted ! I just was lucky enough to find it . blame the authors or wait 14 more days for the official release on The dtools website .
until then use ur crappy usless tools to play .. ! good luck again

thats right folks, current version of sr7 stop oder sd4 hide doesnt recognize the new virtual drive of daemon tools 4.00 (mostly because the new one uses new names for the ports or something like that) - reinstalled 3.47 just a second ago, works like a charm, luckily i dont have one starforce game i wanna play - means i just dont need the new version ;)
[edit] i have to say that the sr7 games i tried (total overdose + path of neo) also do not work without trying to use sr7stop ;) as someone said here that sr7 games seem to work...

This means that the new daemon tools 4.00 can let me play with games such like FEAR @1.02???

15-11-2005, 13:32
huh? does fear 1.02 have another PROTECTION than 1.00 or what. dont know if it does, read somewhere it works. but then other games dont work (at least till a new sr7 stop or sd4 hide releases that supports the ****ing new version)
Doest seem for me to work on UFO: Aftershock...
LOL, kinda strange...
If I unplug my DVD recorder (I leave my CD recorder plugged), it works with daemon tools only! it really works, I'm gonna customize this afternoon a team (with spanish names) and I will post a screenshot so you can check it out.
The strange thing is the DVD recorder... I think since its a DVD, StarForce doesnt check the CD recorder... still I couldnt avoid unpluggin the DVD even using SFNightmare. I will make more tests this night to see how can I avoid having my DVD off.
Many thanks for the link!

Didn't just "say" so, I played FEAR 1.02 without the DVD. 1.02 with the new hotfix installed. But I also wrote that I had to DEACTIVATE the cd drives. Tried it again two minutes ago and it works. Just activate all emulation options, deactivate the drives AND close dtools.
Oh, I almost forgot: either use a full images created from the original disk or a working mini image. Won't work with warez ****

am i gay? i dont fcking want to disable my drives to get a game running that prolly worked before (sr7 games for example). better stick with the older version and miss patches for games that disable using of the old one..... i dont play fear anyway ;)
You dont have to, if you think for a bit, you would come to conclusion I did and that was just to disable the drives in the Device Manager, and re-enable them when done.
For Path of Neo, I used an image I made, mounted it on DT4 and disabled my DVD-rw+ROM. It started no problem.
So to play FEAR 1.02 and Path of Neo its only neaded to load the game disk image with Daemon Tools 4.00, disable ALL the dvd devices in the Device Manager, CLOSE Daemon Tools 4.00 and last... play the game?!?
Yeah, I did change the bus names etc also :)
prollfin
16-11-2005, 23:33
I didn't change any names, just disable the drives.
I've been able to play any game (including Starforce ones, like X3, GT Legends, SC:CT and others) by just mouting the .mds image I made, using the new DT4 and clicking on "Disable ATA" on SFNightmare. After playing, I just click "Enable ATA" again and voilá, all's working normally.
I have just a NEC 3540A DVD-RW drive connected using a S-ATA hard drive.

Do you have X3 CD or DVD version?
I'd love to have a mini image and .MDS file of whichever version you got (not the whole image though).
No matter what I do, X3 freezes when does CD Check...

Could somebody post a GTL Mini-Image or send it to GCW please.
I tried all solutions but it won´t work. Get "Insert Disk to another Drive" or "Key isn't right for this Disk" message.
Would be nice.

Is this the correct method??
it don't work, i don't understand...
-I mount my image with daemon tools 4.0HE with your *.mds
-I install X3
-I lauch sfdrvrem for reomve SF drivers and i reboot
-I reboot for unpluging my CD/DVD
-I lauch setup.bat and I import reg.
-I launch start.bat
-I launch X3 for to install SF drivers, and i reboot
-I launch Daemon tools, i enable all emulations options
-I launch start.bat
-I disable CD, Node and CH2
-I hide all virtual drives
-I launch game.cmd
-I launch the game
and...
My pc reboot... in progress protection...
Why ?
For those who Daemont Tool V4 isn't working, make sure u mount the .mds file, not the mdf. I couldn't play SF protected games when the .mdf was mounted instead of the .mds.
Hope this can help.

How to play GT Legends without DVD? I have tried almost everything. Please help. :mad:

I guess there's not much you can do about that. If you followed the descriptions in this thread and it doesn't work for you, you're probably one of those for whom DT4 doesn't emulate SF!
Is there some differents versions of DT 4.0 emulate SF ?
prollfin
22-11-2005, 06:45
Now that's a question someone should ask the DT devs, because indeed that question comes to my mind when I compare those many different results using DT4.
You know, there are a lot of people reporting that quite some games using SR7, SD4 or even SF work without hiding or unplugging their optical drives. Others say that the games work, but they had to unplug the drives. For some people, including me, some games work, others don't. And last but not least, there are people who can't get anything to work.
Now, what everybody wants to know: why is that so?
That's the problem after all. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with Alcohol 120 (as some of us first speculated), it doesn't seem to have anything to do with a bad Windows installation at all (I think I'm not the only one who tested with a fresh install). There are even people reporting that games don't work, while others having almost the same system don't seem to have any problems with exactly the ame games.
But no one's gonna be able (or willing?) to aswer that question. But hey, that's what beta tests are for! ;)
Hi,
I can now run (or have tested) the following SF games (by running SFcure 64 bit and SF Nightmare disabling Node / ATA / CD Roms / Channels 1 & 2 IDE,,,
All the below are MDS/MDF Images BTW...
Trackmania Sunrise, CRoss Rally Champ, Tom Clancy Splinter Cell CT, X3 Reunion, Blitzkrieg 2, Soldiers HOWW2, D-Day, Pro Cycle Manager 4 and it seems i can now run anything i throw at it (my newly homebuilt system).
AMD 3800+ Duel Core 64bit CPU
1 Gig Corsair XML Matched Duel 3200 mem,
Gigabyte 3d1 Duel Sli in one Graphics card and SLI Mainboard,
Loads of other hi-tech expensive rubbish in a clear Acrylic Case with loadsa neons and cathodes (too much to mention) plus a true Dolby Digital live soundcard HDA Mystique to replace my much missed Soundstorm 5.1 chipset (why oh why did Nvidia abandon that???)...
On my old system (with 4 IDE Drives) starforce protection always kicked in, I could sometimes fool it with Mini-Images (not with Trackmania Sunrise or Cross Rally Championship), but on my new system, I have 4 drives connected in two Raided SATA Pair's (with no IDE connections), Is this why Sf cant detect the HDD images???
I tried DT4 but didn't have any joy (i use the SF cure from dos prompt and SF Nightmare 4 now), Havent tried DT4 HE whats the difference???

before going insane tell us
have you nforce 2 or nforce 3/4
have you winxp sp1 or winxp sp2
have you nvidia ide drivers or generic microsoft drivers
further
have you parallel to your dt4 installation any other emulation software like alcohol installed
how much virtual drives have you enabled
do they/it come before your physical drive(s) or after it in device enumeration
what emulation settings have you got set
and finally
have you autoplay for dt4? for alc? or for winxp? enabled
these are the things I need to know...

Hi,
i have problems with GT Legends and FIA GTR Racing with Starforce...
When i try to start GTR Racing and the disk is checked the machine
freezes and i need to reboot.
GT Legends always detects wrong disc.
I tried every instruction which i was able to find in this forum and i
was not able to get them to work(sfcure,sfnightmare etc.).
How can i remove the Nforce IDE Drivers, everytime i remove them they
are installed again afer reboot.
Please help.
