am i the only person who's got the game(Brian Lara International Cricket 2005) working without the original cd ?

I guess, in most countries, giving away free Windows XP SP2 CD's costs Micro$oft much less than dealing with the oceans of righteous pre-SP2-related problem reports from legal customers! :D

Some of my friends buy Boxed Original DVD-games (Starforce protected as
GT Legends and Worms 4 Mayhem). 1st on WinXP SP1 were absolutely NOT
RUNNING! When we took the data-cables on MASTER also the checks were
failed! OK I Updated WinXP to SP2 and took the LG DVD/writer to PRIMARY
SLAVE all the games were worked fine... I guess the StarForce protection
ALL THE USERS (buyed the original or simple uses a "black" downloaded one)
WERE ANGRY and I understand why releases bad version of DVD-protection!
It's very shame for all the software-houses who pay ANY PENNY/RUBEL for
this s**tty protection. You payed 40-50 EURO/game and you CANNOT play
becouse this s**tty things becomes... Many users not the high to handle
problems like this, MUCH only use things like put the original DVD to the
drive, start Autorun, install and play.... (sorry for my bad english...)

I Can't Find Sfcure to Download
 

Does anyone knows the link to download sfcure? I can't find it.

Hello Folks,

I'm new here so please be gentle :)

Maybe a little late or already mentioned, but I came across a question on the official starforce-forum, where a guy asked how he could install an SF protected game (X3: reunion) from his usb cd-drive after one of his internal drives broke and he bought an external one..

At first the board mod didn't answer and demanded the reason why someone would want to install from a usb device (duh), while another visitor pointed him to the fact that the guy's internal drive was broken..
After some hesitation the board mod replied with simply: disable the IDE controller in the motherboard BIOS would allow installations from media other than one connected to the IDE controller..
In addition another user had some critisicm how simply SF can be bypassed then to force its way what it wants to do, and commented that this would also allow installations from virtual drives.. :rolleyes:

the SF board mod hasn't replied since :D

So my guess is that if you have SATA drives and only a CD/RW connected to one of the IDE controllers, you should be able to run any SF protected game with only a minimod and SFcure, and without the need to disconnect your cables

Cheers, R

Brian Lara
 

I did well wid brian lara but need to unpug the drives. how do I do it

does SFSecure is dangerous for PC??

New P.c dvd game +3 young children=Help me save my collection:)
 

I just bought Suffering 2-Ties that bind and as usual installed and looked for no-cd or mini-image so i can put original away from young ones and cant seem to find a solution , unless i wanna open up p.c unplug this and install this and that and then find out i cant get back in to XP because SFnightmare has disabled this node and that drive etc.
So basicly i just wondered if there will be a no-dvd in the future as stubbs and pop3 where a pain in the arse at first but now there are no-cds for both.
Many thanks for any advice.

@Voide666
That is a question we just cannot answer?? We dont know either? No-one at fileforums is responsible for creating the cracks. Only time will tell? ;)

hoping for the crack
 

yes right, i think we should just wait.... huckers are kind of person who dont give up! until they find their way to hack it.......

But the big question here is "WHEN?" i am really sure that starforce is also updating their warez, they do not want people who cant afford original games to enjoy and finish the game........ but still many gamers are still hoping for the best solution, i think we shuold just wait till it comes, i am really sure that one of this day there will be a CRACK for starforce that many are hoping for.................

message for those who keep securing and protecting their games

"PIRACY IS ONLY FOR COMMUNISM"
"GAMES ARE MADE FOR ENJOYMENT NOT FOR TORURE"

I must admit I am confused. I continually get the message that my StarForce protection driver is not compatable with Windows 7 and will be disabled. However, I have looked at all the games and programs that use this driver and I don't have any of them installed on my system. Can anyone tell me what else may use this driver or any other games that are not listed here so that I can find and kill it?

Simply uninstall the driver (http://www.glop.org/starforce/remove.php). Launching a game (or application?!) protected by Starforce will (re)install the drivers anyway.
