What do we do about downloaded software, legal stuff I mean. I bought Lock On Flaming Cliffs and it has SF. I found that I can't copy some music CD's and even some LOMAC DVD's I made of user made movies.

Why would SF disable your drives when the download itself is an executable? You register it w/your serial number and you get a certain number of installs. Also, Flaming Cliffs is not available here in the west on CD.

As said before, if you get so many installs then that is what you paid for.

Read my post again. I wanna know how to bypass SF so I can use my drives again. They were disabled by SF for the Flaming Cliffs download.

I see you focused on the last part of my post and couldn't remember the important part, the first part.

Fuer mich bitte auch eine Europe StarForce Key fuer Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, wenn es moeglich... vielen dank im voraus :)

@karlmueller
hello, i'm also from Germany but I speak English in this forum, so all the others can understand me ^^

I installed the Game SSCT, burned it with your DPM-File and used my USB 2.0 Drive...it WORKS!!!
But...all the Videos does not play correctly....they start, hangs for 1-2 sec, plays a bit and then...hangs 1-2sec and so on ->hangs, plays, hangs, plays :mad: The normal Audio works, and I can play the game correctly.
But every Video hangs for 1-2 sec...

Have you an Idea???
PN in German to me!!!

I don't get it:
do u all have a CD key?

Pls in PM :)

I have the IDEtoUSB adapter plug´t in my DVD-Rom and the Games Silent Hunter III and Obscure run´s, but the CD-Key is needed. Ich have typed in...and let´s go Play. :D

But i must unplugt the DVD-Rom after loading the Game. The system hang´s after 5-10 min. I can open Program´s and in the Taskmanager say´s is loading, but my system can´t open the Program....when i unplugt the USB-Cable, then the Program run normal.

But, the best is....the Games is running.....

Needs Emulation
 

@OPTIMUMMIND

If you have a problem getting round the "NEEDS EMULATION" part after you have burnt your backup copy of a game with Starforce 3 protection.

Then.....

Plug your external USB writer into a USB 1.1 Port not USB 2.0, this is what I did and it worked, also disable all other IDE cd/DVD using Starforce Nightmare and run the disc. It works!

If you dont have a USB 1.1 Port then simply go into your BIOS settings and look for USB config, select it and disable USB 2.0 (USB Hi Speed) and select USB 1.1 (Full speed). Then Windows picks the port up as USB 1.1 and the game should run fine.

I burnt the latest Codemasters Liverpool club football 2005. PERFECT!! use Karlmuellers guide to burn the disc and then if it says "Needs emulation" on you icon in my computer then do the above.

Hope this helps someone, if it does let me know :)

need key
please send pm

mastergamer, requesting keys and serials is illegal on this forum, and it doesn't matter whether you do it in a post or via PM!

Cool, thx for the advice. Unfortunately, however, I've already returned my USB2.0 external enclosure to Fry's after Karlmueller's method didn't work for me.

Since SCCT is the only game I have to use the real disc for, I'm gonna just put up with it. :)

I just hope someone can make a no-cd later on.

Sweet
 

Okie dokie Optimummind :)

any hope to make a Sooldiers Heroes Of ww2 1:1 copy?

KarlMueller, your post box is full. Cannot PM you.
 

Tried to pm you but your very popular.

All this talk of CD keys.

IT'S ON THE ORIGINAL CD/DVD!

If you don't have it, then you are a Warezer, and don't belong here.

warezer???does this word exist man or it's yours??? :o

I have no external usb drives, what should I do?

buy one :p

Buy the game! ;)

I've got a problem with Starforce Nightmare.
I'm new at this, so excuse if some of my questions are stupid.
I start SN and then i click on: Disable Node, Disable CD... But nothing works (my cdrives are still active). The procedure time is very short. I don't know if this is normal, but if it isn't, how can i solve this problem?

Have you scsi-CD-Rom´s?....or look at your Device-Manager...if the CD-Rom´s Activ...or not?.
The last but not least....Unpluggt the cable from the CR-Rom. In starforce Nightmare click only on Disable node.

Gruß Jörg

They're active... i'll have to unplug them then.

Crazy CD-Rom....it´s surviving Starforce Nightmare.

On my Computer are the CD-Rom´s killed :D

Lo all,
I have managed to mount a SCCT mini image from an external drive using Deamon tools and SN 1.12 and it worked great...I also managed to mount the image from a ram drive and that also worked fine. Maybe im just lucky..maybe not, couldnt get it to work with a backup DVD on a usb drive. Any others tried to mount from an external drive or Ram drive and had same luck??

Regards
Bagpipe Nation. :eek:

could you explain 'the exact' method to mount the mini image in a ram drive please? :)

Yes, I second that request!

Sorry folks, im at work right now, will post when I get home....
Maybe explained wrong, I mounted an image from a ram drive, not mounted in a ram drive. There are several programs out there to create ram drives, just google it.
I use a ram drive for internet cache so it clears when I turn off the computer, after reading several posts about ppl mounting images from external drives using Dm tools & SN 1.12 I thought i would try copying the mini image to the ram drive and mount it from there. The mini image I used was the one from gamecopy world, its the larger image, 13mb unrared I think, could not get it to work with the smaller image on there site. I think it has something to do with starforce checking to see if there is an image being read from an IDE drive when checking the cd..as far as I am aware, it does not check SATA drives and external, so a ram drive would work great I thought..and it did.
ps.. I also turned on emulation in DM tools.
Hope I explained it a bit more, if not, I will check again when I get home form night shift. :eek:
Regards
Bagpipe Nation.

there's only one mini image on gamecopyworld?

Sorry, my mistake. game burn world.
oh..had edit this as it only appeared as ************
Is this site banned from being talked about on this form?
I have only been to it once from a link to get this image, so I dont really know anything about the site. sorry if it has anything to do with warez crap.

what ram drive software did you use?
i'm trying Superspeed RamDisk, but so far no luck

all i've done is create a 20meg ramdrive and copy the mini image to that.
i renamed the daemon tools bus driver when it installed.
i've enabled all emulation in daemon tools, done the registry pnp bios extension thingy,and renamed the vendor of the virtual drive to usb2.0.
installed awxDTools, closed daemon from the sysem tray, leaving all emulation enabled.
mounted the mini image (from G.B.W.)from the ramdisk, by right clicking on the mds file.
and finally tried to run the game, it sat there for 3 minutes, and then said that the disc key i had entered did not correspond to the disk in the drive, and to make sure i used the correct disc key :(

i know my key works cos i bought the game, so it must be a prob with reading the mini image?

Didnt work for me either, i think for the first time i´ll see a game with no crack for it

External USB drivers might be a temporary solution
 

Hello, lads, :cool:

I had installed SH3 from the mds / mdf image of the game, mds is the karlmueller's version. This image resides on a haddisk on an external drive, which is connected via USB. The game installed perfectly, upgraded, disabled my lone cd (whic is primary slave), mounted the image at external drive,

and voila!

:D the game will certainly work, but since i have used the mds of karlmueller, my serial number is rejected! I can test it (and will %99percent succeed), if he could PM me the EMEA version!

Try USB connections, friends, you will prevail!

And Karl, I hope you will read this post and help me :rolleyes:

By guys!!

Is the only trick, to mount the image in from a ramdrive in a virtual drive or do i have to mount the image IN a ram-drive?

Greetz Leecher

Mount the image from a ram drive to a DM tools virtual drive (all emulation on)...you cant mount to a ram drive, hopes this clears it up.
On another note, dont know if somebody knows anyway around this, I took a cracked version of the protection.dll from my NO-CD patched CMR2005 and renamed it udmlib.dll and copied it over the original one in SCCT to try it out. NOw when I start SCCT I get the CM2005 picture trying to check the disk. As far as I can tell I think it bypassed the protection but was unable to start the game...think its cause it try's to point a file or exe in the CMR2005 directory instead. Does anyone know how to edit this to work with SCCT?? Crazy Idea I know, but It may work :). My kids dont understand how to mount an image so a Cd crack would be better for me, I would buy SCCT on D2D just to get a cd free version but you cant activate in Scotland, only america according to there site :(

what ramdrive software are you using?
and could you give the details of your configuration/settings of daemontools and your ramdrive please? :D
the more detail the better ;)

I tried his method using DT v3.47 with all emulation options set on, all Alcohol 120% virtual drives turned off, and using RAMDisk v1.7. Also, both the CD-drives and Nodes were disabled using StarForce Nightmare v1.12.

Well, it didn't work. I didn't really expect it to so I wasn't disappointed, which is a good thing. :)

Silent Hunter now works !
 

I tried the method karlmueller described above and i used his .MDS file to burn my selfmade image (german version).I upgraded to version 1.2 and everything works fine. :D
Thank you for your description. :cool:
