of course you can't let a game recognize a virtual drive as a mini-image, unless it has no built-in daemon tools protection or something like that... but without that original discs could not be recognized as original discs because images act like the same... except @ starforce protection.

won't work for me..
 

Been reading the forums and trying for days. Got working mini images on D. tools of Xpand rally and GTR with IDE disconnected but won't work with starf... tool. Anybody got it working with these or any ideas? It does hide the drives from "my computer" but not from starforce even though both drives are on the secondary channel.
Grateful for any ideas...

did you also patch the drivers?

Yes, I've tried doing this, before and after disabling the drives, but neither way seems to make any difference. The instructions in this thread seem to say press patch first!
The tool doesn't need service pack two does it? I've got two installations of XP pro on the C and D drives one with and one without SP2.
Is it possible for starforce to read across to the unactivated installation on the other drive as Starf... doesn't seem to be able to hide the drives at all on the non SP2 installation?
Thanks for ideas...

I do this as the follows: in the system properties, in the device drivers i click on forbid (maybe it has other word, 'cos my windows isn't english one) on all optical drive, so, there just be the virtual drive remains. after i start starf**ktool, and i choose secondary all cd agressive switched on ('cos optical drives are just on the secondary cable). A small window appear with an ok button. I LET it to be there, i DON'T click on ok. Now, i can play the game (just if the mini image is mounted).
But a strange thing: i tried it under virtual machine (vmware). I installed the same op. system, what i have, but the game don't start. It says, it can't start on that operating system (what is the same, which it works, just the virtual machine differs.

Just tried your method but I still get the try putting GTR in another drive message. Thanks anyway.

it does definitely NOT need xp+sp2, because I use win2000 ^^ indeed, you need 2000 or xp to use star****. who cares, cracks are out, use them instead of star****.

Thanks for the advice. I'll try the cracks but I would like starf... to work out of curiosity.

Is it really necessary to have your optical drive and hard disk on seperate IDE channels for starf**k to work properly?
Seeing as there is an option in starf**k to specify what channel your optical drive is on, i wouldnt have thought it would matter if they were both on the same channel. Just having trouble getting superpower2 version 1.3 working using starf**k

Unfortunately, Star****er doesn't work properly with multichannel drives. Unless S-ATA, Star****er will refuse to play any starforce game from mini.

Good luck!

Help
 

I have some problems by using starfu*k. I can deactivate my CD rom devices,all fine, but when I wanna start the fall, it's not working! Can s.o. describe me how to get it working step by step. I tried it this way. I mounted the image-> opened starf*ck->disabled my cdrom devices->patched Backlist->ran game->Starforce is checking->does not work->starforce is asking for a code. Can u help me out, I dont wanna use the crack, cause i wanna play the newest version 1.6

Got the same Prob. So i play 1.5 but its still to buggy. I think they worked out something new on this. Please someone find a asolution for this crappy star**** Problem! :confused:

From dm_gammer from Star****-Forum:

This did bot work for 1.6. Please someone find a solution for this crappy 1.6 prob!
 

:(

Yes, this way works. I disable the cd-dvd drives in the device driver, after, i disable every rights on the scsi key, after i start the statforce ****tool, and i can play with the games, but the problem is with point 5. when i go back to enable that key there isn't hkey local machines. Regedit just shows the hk local machines name, but it is empty. So i don't know now, how to enable it.
