Thanks for the advice, but we got it figured out. The problem, at least, not the solution just yet...
The problem's the exe - the dismemberment switch is hardcoded in there somewhere. The US exe is, in theory, all we need. But...
The US exe needs the US Starforce version.
The US Starforce needs a US CD. (Unless you wanna crack it for me?
)
And if you're using a US CD, you need a US CD key (which I know better than to look for around here
)
I managed to get a hold of the US exe, and I'm waiting on the Starforce files. So if a working mini-image ever gets released, we might be in business!
