DPM of Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
 

Hi there. Has anyone succeeded in reading the DPM-info of the Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory DVD? I've tried to do so, but Alc120 always gets stuck at about 33% and then aborts. I already tested each read speed but no success so far. Only when I switch the detection precision to 'normal' I'm able to read the info. The result is really awful, so I don't recommend switching down to 'normal'.

Hmm,i read somewhere that the new starforce version is blocking this :mad:

use starforce remover and try again,maybe it works :confused:

I managed to, but I haven't got past the CD check of the mounted DPM-image because StarForce always recognizes it as a copy and tells me that the given CD key could not be varified with my image. If anyone knows the next step, I could trade you the .mds file I got ^^

Thanks for the info about the new starforce release blocking the DPM-readout. I try starforceremover. Hope it still works! :rolleyes:

I have the correct dpm for Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. Made with DPM profile set to high mode and extraction speed 1x with Pioneer DVR-108.

But I've found that newer StarForce3 version currently blacklist all virtual mounting devices, until Star****er or StarForce Nightmare (maybe even Daemon Tools) won't be updated to fix it.

I still didn't manage to read them. Perhaps my drive isn't good enough to do so. I guess I just have to wait. :p
Could someone please send me the DPM? Thank you very much!

Does your original work well with your drive? did it install ok and stuff?

Yes, my original disc works fine, there are no problems at all. But I prefer running the games from a copy in order to protect the original. The only problem is that if I want to do that I need a fine working DPM file and my drive doesn't succeed in creating one.

Try this solution, it should work:

Hello karlmueller,

Thx for the tip through USB2.0. Did you try this for
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory ?

Cuz, it's starforce 3.4.71.19 and i've tested all the
known tricks (mini-image with DPM info
+ sf nightmare for IDE disable and emulation)
and this does not work :(

Otherwise, i'll give it a try this week-end (if i can
find an IDE-USB2 adapter or a DVD USB2.0 drive... :D )

Thx

Try this with daemon tools


1. Install Daemon tools, when installing rename the 2 bus names (you will see when installing) to anything other than the default names. Protections recognise these names.

2. Mount your DPM image on daemon, disable any alcohol drives and close alcohol, then go back to daemon and to the option to mount a drive you will see device parameters, in there change Vendor ID, etc (3 at the top) to anything.

3. Enable all the emulation including RPMS, then close daemon from the taskbar and when asked keep the emulation on. This will close the daemon program but leave the drives with the image mounted.

4. Run starforce nightmare, disable your cd-roms (not virtual drive) and if you have the game installed on a SATA drive disable ATA, if not dont disable ATA. Also disable nodes.

5. Run game, if asked for another drive, open up daemon and make another virtual drive and mount the image on it, and then close daemon again keeping emulation on.

6. This should run the game :)


Remember this is only for legal backups.

Thx for the tip.

Did you try this on Splinter Cell Chaos theory or other recent startforce 3.4.7xx
protected game ?

THX

But this not work!








sry for my Bad English.........

Ouch, oh well :\

You can change the driver names in Alcohol also, try that way also :)

Even changing Alcohol's name virtual SCSI bus, mini image trick doesn't work. I think it's a sort of blacklisting problem regarding newer StarForce 3.4.71.xx
I hope a new version of Star****er or StarForce Nightmare could fix this problem, or wait for a Reloaded crack.

just wait for the crack from HOODLUM to appear on gcw its already stated on ******.** that its been cracked

That was an April Fool's joke, not real.

The new StarForce Version used in Splinter Cell Chaos Theory is very similar to the one used in Silent Hunter 3 but there is one difference:

The "virus" installed by StarForce to prevent DPM reading was removed when uninstalling StarForce 3 drivers in the version used in Silent Hunter but those "virus" installed by the StarForce used in Splinter Cell 3 is not removable by uninstalling the SF drives.

So it is necessary to make the DPM on another PC (where no StarForce drivers were ever present). But if you have a working DPM it is no problem to burn an RMPS copy wich works in USB 2.0 drives perfectly (when all IDE drives are disabled).

Here is my perfectly working .MDS (European Version):

Have Fun!!!

Clicking on your link does nothing for me but take me to rapidshare's homepage. I can't download anything. Is that normal? FYI, I'm using Firefox v1.0.2.

EDIT: Nevermind, I got it working. :D

You must scroll down at this page and klick the "Free" Button after a few seconds a download comes up.

This image doesn't work... When I want to mount it I get an error which says "File is not accessable". :(

This does not work for Splinter Cell Chaos Theory.

i have the same problem

This is not a mini-image, mini-images dosn't work with Splinter Cell 3.

It is just a .MDS wich inludes the DPM.

Do the following to get a working backup:

1. Get the latest version of Alcohol 120%

2. Do a Full Image of your DVD (European Version) without DPM

3. Replace your .MDS with mine

4. Burn a backup using RMPS

5. Activate RMPS emulation

6. Diable all IDE CD/DVD drives

7. Insert your backup into a USB 2.0 CD/DVD Drive and play!!

Thats the one and only solution at the moment!!!

Im trying it.
Alcohol is at 6%,

hello karlmueller,
i have read your post, and you tell us that it's work with your backup.
Then i would like to know if it's possible that you make online a torrent of your backup of splinter cell 3 ?
Thx

I tried it and i got an writing error at 75%.

its works perfectly :D I bought a usb to ide dongle and works with silent hunter 3 1.1 and splinter cell 3 :cool:

:) karlmuller for pope :)

This is not a warez-board you can make a backup of your original yourself useing my .MDS this will be much faster than to download my backup.

If you don't have a original you should not have a "backup" too.

M4 unfortunately you let the proverbial cat out the bag, you probably have the game but want to sell to your buddies. Which is a no no here, youll get no support for that and will probably be banned.


Why do people think crack sites are warez sites. Tch. Wish all these kids from Naboo will think first and use common sense (people from naboo are called noobians)

This is why...


Either

1. You have and you need to give it out to buddies

2. You dont have and you want to get an image from another buddy, even if hes in holland or wherever.

and also..

3. This is NOT a warez site, you dont get torrents, iso's, rips etc here.

I vote for a ban. Where are you GLH?? :)

Ohhh....you did a bad bad thing. This is a crack board not a warez board...read the rules...the rules are law and the Sheriffs don't play went it comes to the rules they also don't take bribes...well at least not that I know of! ;)

Bye, bye M4_007 !

Hi Karlmueller,

I don't understand the problem you had about DPM measurement with the new SF protection from
Splinter Cell 3.

In fact, after installing this game, i can't anymore extract DPM info with alcohol (stuck at 0%).
But after running "sfclean.exe" program + reboot, i was able to extract DPM info (at 1x with precision
high).

Then i've burnt the DVD , activated RPMS emulation with alcohol, physically disconnected all my IDE drrives and i put my IDE DVD burner in an external USB2.0 adapter.

When i run the game, the authentification process starts, hangs at 25%, and after 1/2 minutes, it gives an error.

Do u think my DPM info are wrong (even if was extracted at 100% without problem) ?

Thx for your feedback

PS: after 1.01 patch, the safedisc prtoection goes from 3.4.71.19 to 3.4.75.03

Could someone provide links to Star****er and starforce nightmare. I only get music sites when i google star****er and foreign sites I cant read when I search starforce nightmare.

This are anit starforce programs right?

Edit: I found SFN here hxxp://starf.bestmedia.kiev.ua/

For all you have problem with the external USB2.0 drive : i've read
in a german forum that in some cases, a registry "hack" was needed :

supress SOFTWARE\Ubisoft\Splinter Cell Chaos Theory\Keys' all 'HardwareProfile ***

Maybe it helps ? (i'll try it this evening)

1 other question :

does someone know if it's possible to edit the graph of
the .mds alcohol file (to check its correctness ) ?

Thx

Why wasn`t a crack already released for SC3? There is always a crack on gamecopyworld for Lego Star Wars that is using the same protection like SC3 (http://gamecopyworld.com/) SecuRom7. If i can trust gamecopyworld.

no you cant, splinter cell 3 uses starforce 3.4, the info on gcw is wrong and i have sent a mail yet.
