View Full Version : TrackMania Sunrise - Mini-Image
Hi
i found the mini-image
what should i do ? use deamon or alcohool don't work because it's a starforce
should i burn?
can somebody tell me about the setting of alcohool before burning.?
i found the mini-image ... should i burn? ...MiniImages aren't for buning !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEVER BURN A MINIIMAGE. IT MAKES NO SENSE !!!
yes I agree
but the mini-image with daemon e alcohool + (starforce tools ) doesn't work!

For Trackmania sunrise this method doesnt work.
The only option will be using the USB2 trick like Splinter Cell 3 ;)
The only option will be using the USB2 trick like Splinter Cell 3 ;) Or THIS (http://club.cdfreaks.com/showpost.php?p=1081601&postcount=29) method (only for CD's)
yes thanks but it's very difficult
@mantra
Does your SF-key start with EK7... ?
@mantra
Then it's not difficult at all ;)
- create config file and save as tmsunrise.cfg:
TMSUNRISE
EK7**********************
235520 19
107008 22
- measure original angles (also works with a mounted image including a good DPM):
sfcdvd.exe //./x: tmsunrise.cfg > Angles.txt (save as *.bat)
Execute *.bat, open Angles.txt and add values to config file e.g.:
260 348 99 80 230 111
- Create an image and burn it on CD-RW with Alcohol's 'normal CD' profile (keep the image)
- Compare topology of that CD-RW with original angles:
sfcdvd.exe //./x: tmsunrise.cfg s24 t5 m0 v0 > Sector shift.txt (save as *.bat)
Execute *.bat, open Sector shift.txt and add recommended values to config file e.g.:
1 11 15 11 16 10
- Create patched image:
sfmdf.exe tmsunrise.cfg TMSUNRISE TMSUNRISEpatched s v1 (save as *.bat)
Execute *.bat and burn patched image on the same CD-RW with 'Securom' profile; just click 'Ok' at the TOC warning message
P.S. Always verify your results with a second measurement; copy only works in 'read only' drives; in a burner copy will only be checked when connected via USB/SCSI/RAID

Hi Zulu,
This was an extremely interesting article!
Because the documentation of those Starforce Tools is in Russian (?) only, I couldn't find out what exactly they do and how. Now I see this short lecture on how to fix a particular game. But can you tell us a bit more about what these configuration parameters mean? :) Thanks in advance!
thanks Zulu
i'll do it , should I work with a full image (not a mini image) right?
@Joe Forster/STA
I'm not sure that i completely "got" the theory :confused: (but analysing logs is pretty easy ;) )
I think besides the detailed explaination at cdru the thread at cdfreaks also contains the essential points. First time the "idea" appeared HERE (http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=93269)
If you really like to get "into it" ask eip/AlB; a really nice (and patient) guy
"Stolen" from AlB:
[first string] disc label (for information purposes only)
[second string] disc key (for information purposes only)
[sector of zone 1] [estimated sectors per track (oops, it's spiral, then cicrle) in zone 1 (int)]
[offset of sector of zone 2] [estimated sectors per cicrle in zone 2 (int)]
With that cfg sfcdvd can extract correct angle values from original disc
[six correct angle values]
[six sectors shift for sfcdvd.exe tests and sfmdf.exe twining]
So before patching the image cfg looks like this:
TMSUNRISE
EK7**********************
235520 19
107008 22
260 348 99 80 230 111
1 11 15 11 16 10 (as said before: just an example; sector shift varies for every CD-RW!)
@mantra
Right.
it works! thanks zulu
but a no-cd would be great!
@mantra

Can some one write it so that i can also understood what i have to do step by step? Its difficult.

Even if you succeed in patching the image, the copy will only work with certain CD-R media and in certain drives (in writers, it doesn't work at all). It's a pain in the ass!
I have certain CD-R media drives... So its not a problem but i dount understood how i do that.

Yes please do that!
I don't understand how to get the values of the cfg :(
Even if you succeed in patching the image, the copy will only work with certain CD-R media With two CD-R's out of the same package it also works most times (for those who download their games definitely correct); but CD-RW is highly recommended
...and in certain drives Doesn't run in all drives, but in most.
(in writers, it doesn't work at all) Connected via USB/RAID/SCSI copy also works in a burner

How can you get these two values?
235520 19
107008 22
What program did you use? because I have a different serial and it doesn't wrk with that cfg file...
@maxiepaxie
I know it's a long one, but just read the linked cdfreaks thread and all questions are answered.
P.S.: If you don't know how to create and analyze Bushound logs just PM me.
