usb thing?
 

sorry for being a noob to this how do you do this usb thing ty for any help

There are lots of posts about this. It is possible to get a working backup WITHOUT using a USB drive, although this very much depends on your make of DVD Re-Writer and hardware configuration. The Non-USB method only works on 1 of my 4 PC's, and that's because it's using an expensive Plextor Drive. Using an external USB housing is pretty much failsafe, as long as you've got a fairly recent Re-Writer, and a good MDS image file (Many available), but whether you are prepared to pay for one when it's only likely to run with a few Starforce games is another matter. I've tried it on all 4 of my home PC's, and Chaos Theoory, SH3, Scrapland and Trackmania Sunrise all work perfectly.

That's yer lot though, as I'm sure the Starforce developers are P***ING themselves as they wait to unleash the new USB 'Unfriendly' version. I wonder if someone will come up with anohter workaround for that?

Should be interesting finding out.

:D Tee Hee :D (I think ill go and have a look @ that thread you refer to, Should make amusing reading). Thanks 4 the pointer

Originaly posted by t.Foster 73 I would perfer to know for sure though.

I belive its a fail safe bet guessing that the dev's have deffinatly implemented the new and improved USB "freindly" version. As for some-one finding "another" work a round, Hmmmm im not so sure about that one. Then and again we heard in the past of "certian other" protections that were ment to be fail safe only to be cracked and a nocd released quick sharp ;)
