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 ****

you welcome :)
I am glad I helped someone !
Just lets hope the final daemon tools will fcuk all the HOLES of starfcuk ! it sucks !

Excuse me,are you know how to open and play Splinter Cell:Chaos Theory???I unmount my dvd rom but this nothing to do.Please help!
Sorry 4 my English,I'm from Poland.

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 :)

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.

THX

you have PM

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.
