So you say it works? Without unplugging / hiding ide?

I had my CD-R unplugged as I mentioned in the .txt file enclosed , and now I tried plugging it back in and tested ... worked 100% perfectly , altho it took more than 20 seconds for the protection screen to finish . be patient :)

Tried it with DVD-RW drive connected. Takes less than a second until sf tells me to insert the disk. Tried with TM Sunrise and Codename: Panzers Phase One

Sorry guys I have a notebook How can I know if I have an IDE or a SCSI drive?????:eek:

wierd , tried disconnecting or disabling nodes ?

It works perfectly fine here !
altho I have a CD-R not a DVD .

Just say YES to the question when ur asked in the dtools setup Duke ,if that's what are u refering to

Does not work for me, but I did not disconnect the drives because I have a laptop...

There is a DVD mini image someone posted, but is there one for CD?

I tried making one on my own, but it did not really work...

Okay, Securom 7 seems to work, although I had to deactivate my cd drive to play FEAR. But I guess that is because I originally installed the game from the original cd. Should try to reinstall from virtual drive...

Dude I have just tried using your linked daemon tools 4 install above to no avail. I have a image of the dvd in a virtual drive too but no luck.

lets keep it in the already existing thread eh

I just tried the Dtools site. Works fine.

To be honest it seems no better at SF emulation than 3.47 was, I'm seeing very little difference so far....

EDIT: Certain games I had previously needed to 'disable node' in sfn and use sfcure with now run with just DT, tho I still have to disconnect the IDE drives....

Same for me - dont work with X3.

Does this work for FEAR 1.02??

It works with FEAR 1.02, i tested it.

I get it now , but this is strange , since I've connected 2 CDs now ( an Asus CD-r and and Acer CD-rom ) and X3 still work

I also tried " Second Sight " which had starforce and Street Racing Syndicate which also had Starforce, all of them worked with and without my cd-roms plugged

but if it DT can play the games with only unplugging ur cd / dvd and without the need for all that sf tools which if u don't mind me saying ... CRAP

then i think it's one step on the future, anyways I am sorry I couldn't help you all as much as I thought I would , I just felt the urge to share this , since I know most of u are hating the **** out of starforce .. :(
I tried ;)

How about SPLINTER CELL CHAOS THEORY ?

How about SPLINTER CELL CHAOS THEORY ?

does it works with starforce? without phisically unplug cd rom drives?

did u unplug the cdroms before install the game?

yeah ... is DT4 able to play SCCT ??

that would be great... ! :)

it won't bite you , nor HARM u to download a 2mb file and try out for urself ? or simply READ THE REST OF THE POSTS !

it does emulate Starforce , for some ppl ( like me and someother guy ) u dont need to plug before install or even after install , but for the rest , it just replaces all the starforce crappy tools ( nightmare / vcd hide / all that crap ) all u need is unplug cd/dvd , run the game .

I don't own or HAVE :P SSCT , so I wouldn't know .

Not SFCure is Crap, D-Tools4 is!:mad:
It has not a simgle new feature
SR7 STOP and Safedisc Hider can't hide D4 drives
This mean s u can't play SD4.6 or SR7 games
I don't give a **** on using several SF tools but I WON'T unplug my drives
U only can let them connected if they are CD drives and not DVD drives
At the moment I prefer d347

ahhh ... excuse me .. but are u saying doing all these crappy steps using crappy untrusted progies .. to wish for a hope that u wish of a dream that u might be able to run that or this starforce game .... insted of just putting ur original DVD in ( that's if its original in the first place ) and saying that its easier .... lol , you must have lotsa troubles in your life , good luck !

and btw Prolfinn has already stated " Okay, Securom 7 seems to work "
so I don't know what you're talkin about , you sound like I DEVELOPED dt4 and ur pissed off that i didnt make it do the things u wanted ! I just was lucky enough to find it . blame the authors or wait 14 more days for the official release on The dtools website .

until then use ur crappy usless tools to play .. ! good luck again

thats right folks, current version of sr7 stop oder sd4 hide doesnt recognize the new virtual drive of daemon tools 4.00 (mostly because the new one uses new names for the ports or something like that) - reinstalled 3.47 just a second ago, works like a charm, luckily i dont have one starforce game i wanna play - means i just dont need the new version ;)

[edit] i have to say that the sr7 games i tried (total overdose + path of neo) also do not work without trying to use sr7stop ;) as someone said here that sr7 games seem to work...

This means that the new daemon tools 4.00 can let me play with games such like FEAR @1.02???

huh? does fear 1.02 have another PROTECTION than 1.00 or what. dont know if it does, read somewhere it works. but then other games dont work (at least till a new sr7 stop or sd4 hide releases that supports the ****ing new version)

Doest seem for me to work on UFO: Aftershock...

LOL, kinda strange...

If I unplug my DVD recorder (I leave my CD recorder plugged), it works with daemon tools only! it really works, I'm gonna customize this afternoon a team (with spanish names) and I will post a screenshot so you can check it out.

The strange thing is the DVD recorder... I think since its a DVD, StarForce doesnt check the CD recorder... still I couldnt avoid unpluggin the DVD even using SFNightmare. I will make more tests this night to see how can I avoid having my DVD off.

Many thanks for the link!

Didn't just "say" so, I played FEAR 1.02 without the DVD. 1.02 with the new hotfix installed. But I also wrote that I had to DEACTIVATE the cd drives. Tried it again two minutes ago and it works. Just activate all emulation options, deactivate the drives AND close dtools.

Oh, I almost forgot: either use a full images created from the original disk or a working mini image. Won't work with warez ****

you welcome :)
I am glad I helped someone !
Just lets hope the final daemon tools will fcuk all the HOLES of starfcuk ! it sucks !

Excuse me,are you know how to open and play Splinter Cell:Chaos Theory???I unmount my dvd rom but this nothing to do.Please help!
Sorry 4 my English,I'm from Poland.

am i gay? i dont fcking want to disable my drives to get a game running that prolly worked before (sr7 games for example). better stick with the older version and miss patches for games that disable using of the old one..... i dont play fear anyway ;)

You dont have to, if you think for a bit, you would come to conclusion I did and that was just to disable the drives in the Device Manager, and re-enable them when done.

For Path of Neo, I used an image I made, mounted it on DT4 and disabled my DVD-rw+ROM. It started no problem.

So to play FEAR 1.02 and Path of Neo its only neaded to load the game disk image with Daemon Tools 4.00, disable ALL the dvd devices in the Device Manager, CLOSE Daemon Tools 4.00 and last... play the game?!?

Yeah, I did change the bus names etc also :)

I didn't change any names, just disable the drives.

I've been able to play any game (including Starforce ones, like X3, GT Legends, SC:CT and others) by just mouting the .mds image I made, using the new DT4 and clicking on "Disable ATA" on SFNightmare. After playing, I just click "Enable ATA" again and voilá, all's working normally.

I have just a NEC 3540A DVD-RW drive connected using a S-ATA hard drive.

Do you have X3 CD or DVD version?

I'd love to have a mini image and .MDS file of whichever version you got (not the whole image though).

No matter what I do, X3 freezes when does CD Check...
