Without RMPS emulation, the disc check never completes. It scans the disc for 5 minutes or so, then tells you that it cannot be verified (Backup of course). With RMPS enabled, the game starts straight away, as with non-backup original. Also, Alcohol and Daemon tools RMPS emulation both work fine. Today I will find if you can disable any present IDE drives, and still run the game. Currently, none of the PC's I've tested had ANY IDE optical drives. Sorry if this taking a long time, but my 3 rigs are in pieces, as I swap hardware in and out to find my right setup.

Also, mounting an image doesn't seem to work with this Starforce version. You need a disc backup, and that disc MUST be in the USB drive.
