sh*t! I finally made it! I read somewhere around this topic this:
"I play PoP:T2T too, and I play it without removing my IDE cables or power cables from my DVD-RW drives. I use Alcohol 120% and DT4 too. maybe this trick would work.
First, make an image of the PoP game using alcohol 120% with an option of starforce protection, and then mount the image using alcohol 120% and then install the game. so the original game is only use for making an image. after installation is complete, shut down your system, remove all optical drives from your system, and then start up your PC. make sure that you haven't type the serial number of the game yet. disable all alcohol 120% virtual drive and start using DT4. make a DT4 virtual drive and mount the image. and then the game ask for a serial number, type it..and that's it. I play PoP:T2T with my optical drive still plugged into my system.
just for reference, my system consist of:
Athlon 64 2800+,512mb RAM,Albatron K8X250Gb Pro (nForce 3 chipset),SATA HD (Seagate 80gb 7200),Ati Radeon 9550,Lite-On DVD-RW.
I hope this trick would work for all of you.
Thanks...and fuck off starforce!!!"
I did that (well, actually it wasn't the original dvd :P), and hell, it worked :| Didn't play yet, but it got in the game, so it is one step forward... the next step is trying to play without unplugging the drives - since I got a nForce 2 or whatevah I think I can give it a try!
Cheers!
