Well, "uncrackable" was probably the wrong word. But so far I've played three games that used Starforce. Two of them I don't believe ever got cracks, and the third did get a crack, but it didn't work for like 70% of everyone that tried it.

So if a typical game takes maybe a week or two for a no-cd to be produced, what would you say is the typical time to create a no-cd for a Starforce game?

Oh, and do you know what it is about Starforce that makes it such a tough nut to crack? It it just because it's a newer form of protection that crackers are still learning to deal with, or is it just really, really good(if not annoying) at what it does?
