they seem a bit poor for success rate, do they not roadtest their releases?

Being Safedisc 4.00.002, this should only require a mini-image. I've had a quick go at making one from CD 1, but it's a no go. At least Alcohol or Daemon aren't blacklisted, so I'll try different settings. I'm trying the instructions on CDFREAKS and shall report back shortly.


Edit:Still a no go here. Does anyone know how long a full disc image will take with safedisc? It seems to read bad sectors forever.

Hi

Just tried that mini image.. but as soon as I try to launch the game it crashes with an illegal operation.

Any idea why, or anyone else getting this problem?

Hey thanks for the cd-image patch, it gets the game loaded etc but now sometimes the game crashes randomly, like starting a new game, sometimes it works sometimes not. Its alot closer than hoodlums attempt so far tho, hopefully it will get perfected really soon.....

You really need a full image for the game to work ok. The thing is, when does a mini-image become WAREZ? you can't read 2-3 sectors for this mini-image, you have to read the full disc, which is getting into Warez territory in my opinion. With the mini-images I've tried, and the ones I've tried making myself, the game crashes back to desktop at random parts.

Make a full image of Disc 1:

All you need to do is use Alcohol to create a full Safedisc profile of disc 1 at 1*. It will take 3/4 of an hour or so to read the bad sectors, but once the game data is reached the rest of it flies along. This image works perfectly mounted in either Alcohol or Daemon. you can burn disc 2 to a DVD with Daemon tools, and you have a perfect working copy. If you're complaining that the mini-images don't work, then you must not have the original discs, and so must have downloaded the game data, ergo you are a Warez Monkey!

SIMPLE AS THAT.

Thanks for telling me how to do it myself, didnt have a clue. Ill try that tonight..

Actually i did buy it, well kinda. My best friend and I bought it together, £17.50 each it was. We always do this with games n usually install the game on both pc's n then use a no-cd patch so we can both play at the same time and don't require cd's. at the moment we both can't play at the same time cause there isnt a proper patch for it yet, so i will try what you suggested tonight. Thanks, Andrew

Talk like that will get the thread closed J, but it does prove my point regarding STARFORCE, That 1 game sale is better than none.

[neworderdude]

that mini image isnt working for me. any ideas why?

[t.foster73]

In what way is it not working for you?

[MontyMole72]

Doesnt work here either

It loads the intro, but as soon as the intro movie ends it kicks you back to the desktop.

[Johnston1987]

works for me, thanks. btw isn't the one on GCW identical to the one posted above by Bassj18

works fine for me, didnt work when i used it in alcohol 120%, downloaded and recommend ya use the latest daemon tools version. I had that problem but after i restarted it hasnt crashed since if that makes any difference :S

gd luck
