Help
 

I cant get this game to work. I couldn't burn a cd so i mounted the image i have with daemon tools (which is also how i installed the game). But keep getting "Disk Key Error" i have tried entering both cd keys available. Nothing works. I also tried the mini image here. Cant get it to work. Where do i extract the mini-image to??? Can someone please help me with this? I gotta get this game going It looks great.

Thanks in advance.

@ BlackOps
The easiest way to get this game to work is to use your original CD to play!
How did you get two CD Keys? :confused:

cd key error
 

hey i've got a ****ing wierd problem

i tried every cd key that i could find but every time i get this error that its a wrong cdkey or something

do i realy need to unplug my dvd-rom for this error to quit bitching

its not a cdkey error but a disc key error

hi sgtshaft,

I've cant run Port royale 2 , probably has the same protetion !

do you really need to make an alternate start up image or can you use the emulation (rmps and stuff) from deamon tools with the original image ?

if so how did you make it ?

many thanx in advance !

I dont think its sf3, I think its VOBprotectCD 5 use the newest version of alcohol to burn it, that should do the trick.

Soldiers: Heroes of ww2
 

Heys!

Need help.

I've disabled CD/dvd in bios and also disabled it in windows. I mount the image and start the game. Its stands there a while checking the cd and at the end it says "disk key error".

" The disk you entered does not correspond to the disk in the disk drive.
Make sure you use the correct disk key"


Can anyone please tell me what can I do?? DO i really need to unplugg the power from the CD too??

PLease help i really would like to play this game and its taking me my patience! thanks =)

(btw I've also tryed running "startforceclean" a million times)

Hi,
What about with other language version like Polish? I turned off all Optical drivers in Windows, Used StarforceClean, Mount this image and I have error that Soldiers WWII Security don't install and I must restart PC..

hey man.well doesn't matter if you disable cd/dvdz from bios or windows.they HAVE to be unplagged

works this method with starforce on dvd ?
and how can i make a working mini image of the image.

must i make on dvd a dpm measure ?

use alcohol 120 to make a starforce 3 image.unplagg cd/dvdz and load the image to the LATEST alcohol or daemon toolz.then play.if it's on dvd?well i believe for this game it doesn't matter.
not all games play with this method

the game that i try is on a 4,6 gb dvd and on dvd i can not select the starforce profil the resulting mds file is 4 kb big an does not work.

when i clear the 4,6 mdf and save it as bin/cue an renamen as the same name the 4,6 image and trash the cue and take the mds daemon/alcohl says the image are invalid.

i believe that in the first page 1st topic it's the mini image you need to play the game...download the mini image and mount it on virtual drive.

'Unplugging' IDE Drives (Laptop)
 

Quite interesting method to beat SF3 with a mini image instead over LAN-
until now I always went with my original SF Games (or Game- Toca2),
but now I think I will try to avoid further DJing with my original CDs too-
only Prob is I can't think of an effective method to disable my IDE Drive other than unplugging its power (which is no option since I play on a Laptop).
So my question: Other than disabling WinXP file protection (which I think is very interesting, but I only want to go this far if nothing else works- why does it fool SF, anyway?), are there any alternative methods to fully disable your IDE Drives under WINXP(didnt find any in a forum search)?
Thanks in advance for any help!

I SEARCHING THE TOOL WITH THEN I CAN MAKE A DPM MEASUREMENT FROM A DVD GAME WITH STARFORCE 3


I seek a tool to make a dpm measurement as with soldiers and toca. I look NOT for the mini images. do I do so badly express myself? :( :( :(

well...you need alcoholer 4.1.it's a multiprofiler.select the alcohol tab starforce 3 protection and start alcohol(the dpm is high if you select sf3)when you make the image down to the right select alcoholer as prtection.that's all

oh sorry mate didn't see that you want to do it on dvd games.well don't know

dont work here!!!!!!!!! :mad: :mad: ....with Win XP!!!!!

anyone knows where I can find another nocd????? an .exe file only...something like that.......

thanks!!

it's not a nocd crac an.it's a mini image.try doing what it is said and it will play

Great
 

:D :D Hey this works great.Thanks. :D :D

no cd crack
 

on mg is a "backup cd" crack... worked ?

Has anyone gotten this method working for Gangland?

tnx for trying
 

Either it works or it doesn't, well here it does not, sorry to say.
I appreciate your work and don't want to complain in any way.
But what is forgotten ?

Followed all your steps and it doesn't do the trick.

Downloaded the files, disabled the drives (made a profile which starts
without the drives, virtual is still there)
Mounted the image in deamon. When starting the game
it says: Game installed correctly, would you like to reboot now ? YES/NO
It does not help to reboot, after reboot start the game gives the same ....
And that's what it does, nothing more.

Deamon is on autostart/automount. So it should be there when wanting to
start the game. No sirree. It does not...

So what's there to be done?

Did you actually un-install BOTH the power and IDE cables for all DVD/CD drives? I was only able to play once I removed all cables. Disabling the drive in the BIOS does not work...

Thanks ender.wiggin for your reply.

See, that's what I mean, I disabled the drives in Device Manager, more not.
And that does not work. And really disabling the drives by taking off the
power and really remove the cables is too much of a hassle. I don't intend to
open and close my pc all the time. It would be different if I had a pc for
SHOWW2 only.

OK, this is clear to me and this provides no solution for me. Hope someone
finds out a way to make a nocd-solution which is like with other games.

I just want to play SHOWW2 via LAN with my son and wasn't exactly planning
on buying the game twice....

Still, thanks for clearing this up.

Hello. Well i have a question. Is this mini-image useful for any Soldiers version? I have the spanish one, and got much much problems.... only managed to run it once. And with the support of star****er.

Also another thing. Building my own mini-image, what will suppose? Isnt it the same than loading the entire (great) cd image? (.ISO) in my case.

Thanks, and best wishes.

Soldiers Emulated easily (at least for me)
 

It really was that easy to me...

WinXP SP2
2 SCSI-Drives (CD-Rom + DVD-Rom)
1 IDE Drive (DVD-Burner)
Soldiers of WW2 EUROPE-Version

- copied all files from the CDs to a temp-folder on Hard-Disk
- installed from there!
- installed soldiers-euro-patch-1.12
- installed soldiers mp-patch 1.28 (which is also a single-player-patch!)
- installed daemon-tools (never used it before)
- mounted the image-files (from this thread) as Drive-J (for me)
- reboot (required)
- started soldiers.exe
- entered the required EURO-Key
- tested the 1st russian-mission = NO problems at all!!!
- NO unplugging of ANY Drives or similar sh*t necessary!!! = still have ALL drives connected!
- oh yes... I afterwards DELETED all files from the temp-folder on Hard-Drive and it still works!

conclusion:
the reported INTRO etc. problems MUST have to do with installed video-codecs!
I only have ffd-show installed and really NO problems with crashes etc.

hope this info helps those who still can't emulate it properly...

Here's a method that i used without having to disconnect anything:

1- Install the game; however you want.
2- Use d-tools to mount the mini-image.
3- use star**** v.083 beta and click on "CD8 DEAKTiViEREN"
which disables your CD drives and do other things that i don't know; because when i disable them manually from device manager, it doesn't work.
you can download star**** from:
http://spacetarget.com/games/pc_prot...tarforce.shtml
4- Launch the game.

Let's know if it works or not ?

I'd appreciate if u could tell us what exactly does this tool do ?

It works perfect
 

I just tried it and it worked perfect !!! thanks so much !

The hardware disconnection was relevant until those starfu ck and starforce nightware apps, this last one is in english and is available from here:

Best regards,
