hey there guys,

New guy to the forums,

I had a crap load of trouble with running this game untill i came here a found out about daemon tools!!

Just thought i might add my success story to this thread.

Installed TRD3 all good (takes bloody ages doesnt it!!)
Shut down PC, removed all IDE cables to CD/DVD Media
Switched back on, downloaded Daemon Tools 4.03
Mounted my .mds image to virtual CD Rom
Then ran the TRD3.exe and all was sweeeeeet :)

Now all i need are the cheat codes, then fun fun fun

Cheers all
stew

ur owning an original version so u can register it to get ur cheats u cheater ;)

it sucks to unplug ide drivers. but all here know that this works...thats not perfect at all...
what we all need is a solution to #1 keep dvd in dvd-case #2 get rid of starforce trojan #3 avoid that damn ide unpluggin

plz no more --> oh it works with ide unplug. the nforce4 thing is a myth ( i have nforce4) !!! bring it on!

I think the nForce 3/4 trick was confirmed by the Daemon Tools developers, so, no, it doesn't seem to be a myth...!

it doesnt work for me.
neither for some of my mates with nf4.

daemon team confirm such things? interesting. where can i read more about that? in their forums ?

Yup, on their own forum. (Are you sure you're doing it right? We've collected lots of infos in the FAQ!)

no i'm not sure atm. i try .... and report back then. maybee with some shame ;)

ok. dont work for me
no matter what i do or try ...

TOCA Race Driver 3 [ENGLISH] No-CD/Fixed Image by: Hell-hunteR
 

A fixed Mini-Image has been released:

TOCA Race Driver 3 [ENGLISH] No-CD/Fixed Image by: Hell-hunteR

1. Can anybody confirm that it works?
2. If yes, does it also work with the german version of the game ("DTM Race Driver 3")?
3. Can I start the game by mounting this image in DT4.03 or Alcohol 120% without having to unplug anything?

I will only buy this game, when there is a chance of playing it without having to insert the original DVD!

The mini image is not working for me.The only way to play without original is to make full image with alcohol 120% DPM setting set to high and low speed of extraction , hide your optical drives from starforce ( maybe you will need to unplug the cables from them to do that ) , mount and play.

Do YOU have to unplug the cables of your IDE drives or does it work just by mounting the full-image for you?

I have motherboard with nforce4 chipset and my harddisks are sata so i can just disable the PATA controller in device manager and play.The game doesn't work with the full image if the pata controller is not disabled.You maybe will need to unplug drives if you don't want to use ypur original.

95% (or more) of the SF titles since v3.4.6.x do execute an ISO check (VERY rare exceptions e.g. Spellforce 2 1.0, Wintersports Pro 2006); so if there is an varying ISO check (it's not like Safedisc ISO check where sectors are always the same) no mini/maxi image is possible as the checked sectors are always different.

As suggested by neptun it works with a full image, but i'm sure this method will be gone with the next patch (see Spellforce 2 1.1 and Blazing Angels 1.01 both using SF 3.7.16)

The mini ToCA Race Driver 3 image doesn't work, however a full image mounted in Daemon Tools works just fine!

hi there!
i have tried to mount the mini image in deamon V4, and it doesnt work for me.
I think it doesnt work for everybody too.
Well, i hope a great cracker will can create a mini-image, or maybe its impossible.
Good challenge for u good cracker:)
