PC-Emulator vs. Starforce?
 
Hi there!
Just an idea...

There are some Virtual PC-Emulators out there (VMWare, Microsoft Virtual PC,...).

I read in an article that vmware is able to mount physical existing devices as scsi-drives to the emulated machine.

According to some threads I followd in different forums, the "cd check" with emulated images is succesfull when any ide-drive is disconnected.

So it is maybe possible to run an emulated machine, install and run the game there with an image mounted in a virtual drive (aka daemon) which is itself mounted as a scsi-drive within the emulated machine.

Got the point? Just an idea, donīt know if this will work in any way.

Are there other things I didnīt thought of? Maybe, the emulated hardware is to weak to run the games?!

What do you think?!

Well I can assure you it wouldn't work for games, since you got to use a crappy SVGA driver on the vmware emulated machines. :(
