i couldnt care less about what you've tried, i couldnt care less about me being unwilling to share to my knowledge to you (give me one good reason why i should give u the benefit from my research), vague assertions they are not, for safedisc and securom and laserlok for that matter the cdrom is NOT required to crack it, and an image of starforce CAN be made, its the driver thats detecting the image is 'virtual', the image itself is NOT bad do some work
as for me posting here, i didnt see a mod under your title, so your little rant stops there i think. as for tools being able to clone the cd's, ever wonder why alcohol and daemon have to be updated each time a new protection comes along? yep thats right, they have to change their code to handle any possible blacklisting etc each new version they have more work to do, as well as having to update their emulation code to cater for the new versions
