hi i have installed POP 3 in my PC when i clik on play it says pls insert correct disk i have downloaded mini image from gamecopyworld.com and disconnected my DVD/rw from PC what have to do more in this pls reply me fast

@bob58: What CFG file is it that you need? If it's a file that belongs to the game installation - and you lost it somehow - then reinstall the game. Don't request original game files; forum rule #3.

As for hacking tools, you need to read their respective documentations and learn how to use them. You may want to read the forum FAQ on a few ideas (the exact usage of most tools is not covered, though).

@ash_2006: Read the forum FAQ on how to use mini/maxi images.

The only working way...for now
 

The only way imho how play the game without the dangers of scratching the original CD with the help of images is...



...unplugging the power cables of the optical drives before playing.

Whether the mini image works or not...i dont know. But when you were able to install the game you must have the original DVD. Just mount the image of the original DVD instead of the mini image.

It works fine on my PC.

Can someone post a good working image PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

Please stop begging all the time, if one gets made it gets made, your constant begging wont change that fact. And its tiresome.

Hello, you don't need a new whole image, you only need the .mds Part of the Disc, this is where the RMPS info is Stored, i have attached mine, but its for the euro Verion only, if you need one for the US-Realease, look for it.

You need to rename the file to the same name as your image and then replace your old .mds with this one (Make a save somewhere first, just for the case.

And the CFG which one talks about(Way to make a Copy behave like a original), this works only for CD-Versions

For people who can not start the game from image through virtual drive did you look this thread?
http://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=74385

Diranar can you post the whole image and not only .mds file!!!Please!!!:D mdf and mds together i mean....Thanks in advance....

what programm did you use to make this image? i used alc120 and blindwrite to make an image of my original dvd but both didnt work!:( have used the wrong settigs?what settings did you use?

In Alcohol 120%, you can select the copy protection for which reading/writing is "optimized". To find out the copy protection, use ProtectionID. See more infos in the FAQ.

@Joe
Don't forget it is not possible to choose the protection type when creating an image of a 'DVD'. ;)

Maybe a bit off-topic but I've just registered and I can't download the attachement from Diranar. Althoguh I'm looged-in when I click the attachment icon it takes me to the log-in page. Can someone enlighten me?;) :cool:

Yeah, it is off-topic, that's what the "GameCopyWorld Support" forum is for. By the way, I think all you need is to enable cookies (for that site).

It wasn't the cookies but now is working, this vBulletin systems sometimes need a bit of time, that's all. By the way, the mds file doesn't work :( :cool:

Are you using it with the .mdf from the EU DVD?

'Cause I don't think it'll work on its own...

Well the US version is not multilanguage, is it? I think I've got the EU version, and according to Diranar his mds file is for the Eu one :(

Working Trainer for PoP TT?
 

Hi all, since I got really stuck in the game; I urgently look for a trainer. To bad that the +4 or +2 Trainer does not work - am I doing sth. wrong? Does anyone have another trainer or a trick how I can get these trainers running?

Thx in advance

guys i succesffuly started pop tt and even trackmania and x3 but I simply dont know how to start Splinter cell 3...always get error that cd key does not fit with the disc in the drive..using the original :( :(

thank you! but i allready know that and i've used the starforce 3 settings of alcohol120% to make an image of my pop t2t dvd!so that doesn't work! but why did my image work after replacing the mds with the mds from Diranar? so i'm very interested how Diranar was able to made a working image of his original dvd?
please post somebody a describtion how i can make o working image of my sf3 protected games. maybe diranar could do that?!:)

@fastMB
Well this just isnt possible!! You CAN NOT choose a Protection (Data Type) when creating an image of a 'DVD'!!

@Grumpy


ok it isn't possible with alcohol120%! but there have to be a programm who is possible to do that. because Diranar made a wonderfull working image of pop t2t!is there any trick or is it just magic?:D

Guide to make Starforce Games
 

Hello, first i have to say that not every DVD Drive out there is capable of making a 100% RMPS/DPM Reading. A Source for .mds i will post at the end of this liuitle Desciption

I Have 2 Drives :
1x DVD Burner Benq DW1620 - is NOT able to read DPM
1x DVD ROM Teac DV???? - This Drives makes 100% DPM's ;)

So if i want to make a Starforce Copy, i Put the Dvd in my Teac Drive and start up Alcohol 120%- Last Version out.

Since if you want to make a DVD Copy and select the Image Creating Wizard, there will be no Copy Profiles. We don't need them.

1. Simply check both Boxes : Read errors and Rmps reading(The Reading speed is not important now). Then click next/ok.

2. Alcohol will ask for RMPS/DPM Speed : This depends on the Drive used, both most people get best results on low Speed, i always use "4x".

Thats all, if you have a Drive thats not capable of reading the DPM Data, you'll get the error "DPM Creation not possible" , i would first try some other DPM reading speed.

If you need a .mds , because your Drive is not able too, go here :

http://www.copybase.ch/Cb/PHPV2/index.php

Its a German Site, so Scroll all the way down to the big Box with the Title :"
Copybase // Kopierschutz-Datenbank // Suchformular "

There is a Box in which is written "Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory", here you type in the Name of the Game , which you need a .mds for
then click on "Finden!".
You'll get a list of the search, then click on the Game Name you need and most right and above is a Green "DPM-Dateien(Number)", click there and Download the file you need.
(The Site has Problems now, try it in some Days)

@fastMB
What I actually meant is it is not possible to choose a Data Type when backing up a DVD with Alcohol but it is still possible to create an image of a DVD using Alcohol. ;)

THANX Diranar for this guide!i'll try out if it works with my drive!

And, as far as I understand from posts on this forum, you'd better use Blindwrite for reading/writing copy protected CD's/DVD's, instead of Alcohol 120%.

so i tryied out but my drive isn't able to read DPM!:(
in fact of this i douwnloaded a mds file from copybase(no more problems with this side) and replaced my original mds file with the one i've douwnloaded!so far so good!but when i want to mount the image with daemon4 it epears:invalid image file!:mad:
did i something wrong or could it be that all tree mds files from copybase aren't working?:confused:

@fastMB
If you have the Starforce drivers installed then you wont be able to read the DPM. You need to uninstall Starforce.
What sort (brand) burner do you have?

diranar's .mds file
 

something is not right, i think i'm doing something wrong. i downloaded diranar's .mds file and i have renamed it like my .mdf file. i uninstalled pop3:t2t, used sfclean to uninstall starforce and i also used jv16 PowerTools to clean the windows registry of all starforce entries. i disabled the DVD and CD drive with sf nightmare and mounted diranar's mds on daemon tools 4. i installed the game, reeboted the computer and entered the cd-key and i still get the error message. i also tried with starf*ck, but it didn't help. can anyone please help me and tell me what am i doing wrong? thank you

P.S. sorry for the bad english

Hiya guys,
I've turned here for support after Ubisoft didn't want to help:
Is there any way to disable the wretched system check app when loading POP? - My laptop has an unsupported card, and so I have to OK my way through this rubbish each time I want to play, & its getting more than annoying. (You can no longer directly launch the POP3.exe file unlike with previous versions)

I have the game running perfectly from a full image & MDS file using DT4 with no CD drives physically present in the system.

Cheers

Prince of Persia 3 causes probably epileptic defect
 

As u can read in the title the game can cause damage to your health. Please make at least a 15 minute break after 1 hour gametime. You can read this topic on the first side of the handbook under health care. More information with a personal message.:mad: !!!READ THIS PERSONAL WARNING VERY CAREFULLY AND USE THE HANDBOOK!!!

Quoted by MC1987
"i disabled the DVD and CD drive with sf nightmare and mounted diranar's mds "

Hello, this will never RUN ! :eek:
Cause this is Starforce 3.6 , IF you want to get your Image to run you HAVE to Pull the Cable (Power or IDE) OUT of your IDE CD/DVD Drives :D because Starforce 3.6 can re-enable the ide drives :p , Starforce Nightmare is only for Starforce 3.5 and older:( , for 3.6 s.o.

(There are some Lucky Nforce 3/4 Motherboard Users who don't need to pull anything, but please first try this without your IDE Drive)

damn, so there is no other way yet? my computer is still under warranty so i don't want to open it. well, thanks anyway;)

No, the drives have to go.
And your Warranty isn't touched if you Open your Case( This is in Germany, don't know the Warranty Laws of other countries, we can buy and install new Hardware all the time).

Dunno who gave you that idea, any machines warranty is gone if you open the case to go inside. Hence why they have security stickers or seals that break when opened.

It depends on the actual contract between the shop, that built the PC, and the customer, who bought it. I don't think they would let individuals mess around the inside of the PC. But e.g. our company buys PC's with the condition that our hardware guy has the right to change any part any time in them (he knows what he does and doesn't break anything, that's why).

I have made a full image of the Dvd...Unplugged the drive's,Removed starforce driver's and when tha starforce load's it stuck's in the middle and i can't do anything,,,Please help....

The same happened to me with Trackmania Sunrise.
I just waited a few seconds or even minutes and finally the game popped up...
Afterwards it worked within about 5 seconds each startup...
Guess it had something to do with the SFKey...maybe SF3 checked the key :confused:

If anyone has mini image please post here.

Hello.
Im absolutely new here.
POP T2T was a mess but now it is working on my PC.
I made a MSF/MDS with ALcohol 120 (newest version) and took the mds file from a german homepage.
And finaly it worked with DT4. You must unplug the DVD-Drive. It was a really hard job.
It took me two days.:(

I dont know if it is allowed to post a image here.
I dont think so.
But the main problem is, that you need a MDF file. Mine is too large 4,2 GB.
That would take a long time.:D

Sorry, i did not read your comment exactly. You wanted a mini image.
