Yes i did and found it to be absolutely useless as was the mdf file that came with the dload..
Seems unless you have a special system setup the same way as the guy who orginally made the image, you wont have much luck getting it to work..im still waiting for a ride..:mad:

@randm
Well you should at least be able to use the original disc to play? For now anyway, until a proper NoCD/DVD method is found.

"ditto"

Hehehehe yeah ok...:p

see above post

it work fine for me with virtualdrive...

What's your system configuration.

That method is system config dependent...

are you sure?

i have amd 64 bit 3200+
1 giga ram
win xp sp1
nvidia 6600 gt
asus a8n-sli...

As expected, it's a motherboard equipped with an nForce (4) chipset.

How to get the game running
 

You have to unplug any cd/dvd rom drive on your Pc before booting up your system. That's all. VCD Pro10 didn't work for me, neither SF-nightmare.
Specs:
P4 3GH
Abit AI7 motherboard
1GB ram etc.
That's all

Works for me
 

I already had the iso, cant remember what I used to make it but heres what worked for me.

disable pata controller in device manager, download the image file from gamecopyworld, mount with latest version of DT... and play. this gave me no trouble at all but maybe im just lucky! heres my setup

-DFI NF4 SLI-DR
-3700 san diego
-OCZ Plat PC3200 rev2
-6200 turbocache (yes I know its poor, had to sell my 66oogt)
-maxtor 200gb sata1 drive (single drive, no raid. Maybe thats why it worked for me)


for all those saying you need to install with the image mounted in DT, just so you know I didnt have DT when I first installed the game. I used MagisISO

And again: if you got an nForce 3/4 board you just have to disable the ata controller in the device manager. Sfnightmare and the "vcd pro method" will also work with nForce boards. But only with nForce boards...

no?
 

... and obviosly not with EVERY nforce 3/4 board....

Toca 3 : problem solved (at least for me...)
 

I have an HD image of Toca 3 never used because of StarForce protection problems.
I have tried all the suggestions posted (install virtual drive software, disable IDE drives, and so on..) but nothing was good for me.

Yesterday reading some posts in this Forum I downloaded the Toca 3 .mds file from www.copybase.ch (USA version) :
1) renamed it with the same name of my image file, leaving .mds extension for the file and .mdf extension for the image file.
2) mount .mds with Alcohol 120% (latest version)
3) install game
4) reboot
5) Run the Game and ... it WORKS!!!
No need virtual drive software or disable IDE drives in Drive Manager or something else...

PC conf. :
ABIT AW8-Max with Intel chipset 955X
2 S-ATA HD configured as RAID-0
2 optical IDE
1 USB HD external drive

Fedmat

Hmmm, maybe, the latest Alcohol 120% 1.9.5.3823 has a few great new features over the previous 1.9.5.3105?!
