I make it clearer for you then: if you have the same problems with the original CD/DVD and without a crack then you're on the wrong forum and you need to ask the publisher instead!

i installed the game and i almost finished playing and i can tell you what i did
1- your file system must be ntfs
2- copy the game to your HDD
3- install dt4
when installing it require a restart so you must shutdown you pc and then unplug all the cd/dvd drivers (power and id)
4- insert the image in the dt4 driver
do not try to make any image by virtual cd /drive ....
coz it`s aint gonna work
good luck
by the way the game is astonishing
if you ve got any trainer plz send it to me coz i could not kill the main boss yet

I need help
 

Hello!!
I have read all pages about pop3 and I know there is a solution. But my problem is another. I´ve borrowed me a laptop of a friend, but i can`t disabled the dvd drive. Because it may happen that i do something wrong and than i`ve a big problem. Is there no other solution for a laptop? please help me!!I wan`t to play this game without buying it.
Greetings :)

If you don't have the disc then you can't make an image file, and won't be able to run the game... sorry.

Just ask your friend if you can borrow the original disc.

@Germangirl
Could you please explain that sentence in a little more detail please!?
Does your friend have the game? Did your friend lend you his laptop as well as the original game discs? :confused:

Hello again!!
No my friend does not have the original disc...he only got the copied version from a friend and as well a lot of key which didn`t work..I tried a lot of things but as seems that i have to buy it :( Until this game it always worked to get a game playing, but pop seems to be a problem for me...Otherwise if one of you will suddenly have a solution for playing it on a laptop I would be happy!!
greetings

@Germangirl

I can play POP T2T
 

Well, the configuration of my PC is a bit different and maybe that's why I can play without problem. I do not have a IDE hard drive, intead I hava a SATA drive and DVD burner drive. All I did was to load the game image using DT4 and installed the game. Then I turned off my PC and disconnected the DVD drive from the main board. I started up the PC again and then started the game.

I played the game without any problem. The only problem is that you need to plug your IDE drive again if you want to use it, and while the drive is connected the game does not work.

Hope this helps.

@KasaK
That is all well documented here. Use the search button. ;)

Cannot play POPTT
 

I have a PC laptop.
I've disabled my D: drive.
Run deamon and run virtual D:
Mounted .mds file on this drive.
And it still askes me to insert the POPT2T_PLAY in another drive.
WTF?:eek:

Setup (what I got):

Windows XP Pro x64, with all current updates
nForce4 motherboard
1x SATA HDD
1x IDE DVD-Burner (connected to primary IDE controller)

Steps (what I did):

1. Mount DVD Image with Daemon Tools 4 (x64-edition)
2. Install Game
3. In Device Manager: Disable "Primary IDE Channel" and "Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller", as well 2x Card Readers (just in case, even though they're connected via USB). Bascially, I disabled everything IDE, and everything storage related with the exception of the SATA controller and hard drive. Probably overkill, but at least it worked.
4. Play

Notes:

- For whatever reason, disabling the primary IDE controller in BIOS didn't work. Even though Windows didn't find the DVD-burner at all, the protection system still complained.
- Doesn't matter what Emulation options you disable or enable in DT4. The game with load fine regardless.
- No other tools used. Not that there are a whole lot, beyond DT4, for x64.
- This worked for me. It might not work for you.

I think everything mentioned in this mini guide (and more) is covered by the FAQ...

I would like to know if there is any no dvd crack for POP:The two thrones beacause I can not do nothing with daemon tools and game jackal!!!!

If we knew of one, it'd be up on GCW.

Hi I have my CD/DVD drive unplugged and I have the mds inside daemon tools 4. Once I start the game it gets to the checking for CD and then freezes. What can I do?

I see people din't start a new thread! I think i need to just use my cd cos dis in't working..

Well atleast for me, that's not quite accurate. I play the US version with my image and it's working 100%:D (still have to manually unplug the whole IDE optical drive though:( )
For you who need the mds file for the us version of the game, I uploaded for you. Eventhough it's working for me, I can't guarantee it also work for you.
FYI I play with these spec on my computer :

- WinXP SP1 (fat 32)
- GeForce FX 5200 128Mb
- 256Mb DDR sdram pc 3200
- MB Shuttle AN35 (nForce2)
- 120Gb IDE ATA Harddisk
- AMD Athlon XP 1800+

I know it's minimum requirement, but hey... it's work right :p

F*uckin game.
 

Hi everybody,

This starforce protection is a pain in the ass... But I have one doubt... If I burn the DVD image in a dvd media, what message will I receive? Invalid media or something? 'Cause I won't disconnect my IDE cd/dvd rom drives to run this piece of sh!t called Prince of Persia... Anyone of you guys have any ideas how to run without the ide disconnect? Cracks, sumthing?

My computer specs:
CPU Athlon64 3200+ Clawhammer
MB K8V SE Deluxe
WIN XP SP2
And the other things I think they won't make any difference...

Thanks in advance

@s0ckz
If you dont want to diconnect the IDE drives then simply use your original disc to play!!

You could at least upload the .mdf also coz the .mds alone is useless

It isn't useless. Create an .MDF + .MDS pair from your original CD and then replace the .MDS with the one in the package. There you have a full image that fools the copy protection.

Still is uselss. That wont be different from the original image I have and which is about 4GB. So whats the use of that he uploaded without a mini .MDF

You didn't state your goal exactly... A full image is not useless - it's just "non-optimal", so to say - as it does relieve you from having to use your original CD. That is the primary purpose of using backups; the (low) image size is only secondary.

Im looking for a working mini-image

enjoy
 

Oh my fucking god why are u complicate this thing so much?to disabl ide and other things.well i discover a way to play prince of persia 3...and its fuking easy

do u remember sd4hide.exe from nfs most wanted?:D well use it at pop 3 but u need the image with alchool the dvd one well thats the one i have tho..maybe it will work with others but i`m playing pop 3 and its fuking nice:cool:


here u are http://radiofreeorc.com/octav/sd4hide.rar

not working
 

I had tried many times what you have done exactly but it wont work for me. I had read in many forums that it will never work, OK!!

@deemer69
Hey, ease up on the bad language please! Its really not needed here.

Hes trying to be hip dog, you dig it and stuff, bitchinnnnnn!

well for me worked and for my friends too...u need that 3gb image..the dvd one..i tried this at all my friends 10 persons and for all worked diffrent computers and configurations...

yea i`m a dog:p and i`m laughing of u guys that u disable cd rom and another things to play a game:))))))))))))) thats so funny..just hack it:cool:

Your not supposed to take your game to 10 friends' houses to try the game.

If you got it working without unplugging IDE cables etc then good for you it worked for you and your friends...

There is people out there who it wouldnt work for, so they need alternative methods.

There is never a 100% fool proof way, even cracks arent 100% working for everyone.

For some people even unplugging the IDE cables didn't work. I found a way, it might not work for everyone but it did for me though. I have the 3 CD version, and using the NO-DVD patch made things work. Here's what I did in the attachment TEXT file... Thanks to Star Force we need walkthroughs to INSTALL the games, crap! Am off POPping ;)

[Edit by Joe Forster/STA: Attachment removed. Please, try again, this time without a serial!]

Bye, bye- No serials allowed whether they are in attachments or not.

Sorry Joe, my bad. :p

Anyway here's the walkthrough. I just hope I didn't go through this much trouble only to find out that it worked out for me only! feedback welcome ;)

Enjoy ;)
