Playing SCCT backup with no problems ;o)
I guess I'm just lucky, I read in a post somewhere that some guy found he could play a backup because his DVD drive was connected through a PCI RAID controller...
Well, thinks I, my motherboard has an on-board RAID controller, (on of those crappy but common Promise Lite chips). However, I found that the controller only allowed connecting of hard drives.
Then! I read about a hacked BIOS for the Promise RAID which makes it a plain UDMA controller, sure enough, I eventually found the BIOS file for my ASUS A7V333 M/B, flashed the BIOS, installed the "Promise Pure UDMA" device driver, stuch my SCCT backup in the drive and et voila! The protection system checks for about 2-10 seconds and the game loads / runs perfectly!!!
So, there is hope for a lot of ppl out there with crappy RAID controllers on their motherboards which they never thought they'd use, this german guy has hacked BIOS for many of these motherboards so all of you can play SCCT on backup!
