I have 3 drives a Compaq DVD-ROM GD-8000, a Lite on 52327S CD-RW External Drive and a Phillips CDD 4801 CDRW drive as anyone can see the last drive I mentioned is very old and crappy

My DVD ROM drive take ages to validate Starforce games, the Lite On drives don't validate always says that I shoud use insert the game on other drive but very strange the crappy phillips drive is the only one of my 3 drives that validate starfoce games faster sound strange for my because burns cds very slow don't copy most recent protections, don't have cd-text but do this very well is not were for this drive I think I never could play the ST games well and now I have some problems this drive to close tray I have to push the button like 4 times to get the drive closed I hope don't get damaged but for the other part Securerom games from ver 4.89 or higher only validate on my DVD-ROM drive the copy protections are a problem sometimes
