Hi, I've just a question, turning off CD and Node with StarForce Nightmare is the equal to remove the ide data and power cables from the drives?

I'm asking it because I uninstalled alcohol and now I've just DT4, i mount the image, disable the cd and the node but it doesn't work.

I tried with the usb external drive trick too, but also this doesn't work.


Can anyone help me?

NOTE: I changed the title! Grumpy

Hello to everyone, im new here. I have never had mamy problems with games, except with this one. Looks like the game is suppose to work uninstalling the IDE drives and mounting it using DT4. So i must be doing something really wrong. Like Alexandro, i tried using Starforce Nightmare and it also didnt worked for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

if u have a laptop its easy...u can just slide cd drive out then use daemon tools to create virtual d:/ drive and SF protected games work fine...then when u done playin just remove virtual d:/ and slide cd drive back in...if anything u might have to run sd4hide. dont have to disable nothing.
if ya got regular tower pc then im sure its a pain in the butt to remove cd drive...wouldnt know tho... i got a laptop...lol.

I disabled all IDE drives in the device manager, they don't even appear in windows explorer anymore, then I used DT4 to create a virtual drive and it says I have to put the disc in another drive. :\

Here's a StarForce driver remover, if you don't intend to play The Two Thrones. The StarForce protection installs a driver on your system, that isn't really good. http://www.onlinesecurity-on.com/protect.phtml?c=55

I moved the first 5 post to here from the PoP:TtT thread in the "Game Protection"-Subforum.

Please do NOT post questions&problems in this subforum!

I have DVD-RW and a CD-RW . In devive manager it shows a Nvidia nforce2 IDE controller, and Primary IDE and Secondary IDE. Which ones should i disable? Is primary or nforce2 IDE controller of the hard disk?

[DABhand]

Primary IDE is usually for IDE HD's. Unless you have SATA HD's

Secondary IDE is more common for Cd/DVD drives

[Jhamael]

So if I have 2 primary IDE channels and 2 secondary IDE channels, I should only disable the secondary ones? Is there a risk of anything ending badly for my computer?

[Jhamael]

I have 2 drives BTW, one DVD/CD burner/reader, and the other is DVD/CD reader.

@Alexandro: Try to Disable CH2 too

If you want to play the PoP:T2T you bought without a dvd
do it the same way as SCCT, it is exacly the same but just easier
NOT Alcohol 120% BUT Daemon Tools 4 is is much easier and not that much work

it ain't that hard, just use your Grey Cells in your head to figure the rest out

Good Luck

PS: No need to disconnect the IDE cable or anything
PPS: Programs needed are SFNightmare and SF Anti File System Blocker

[Alexandro]

I tried to use SFN, Sf*ck, Sfcure, but there's nothing to do.

I Disabled the node and the CD with sfn, but with device manager too, but the game doesn't work if I mount the image in dt4. (I uninstalled Alcohol)

I've got a usb dvd also, but if i run the game with a burned copy of the game it says to insert the cd into another reader.

Starforce F*cks!

[Jhamael]

Right now, SF Nightmare is useless against StarForce 3.6.10, which PoP uses. The only way is to physically disconnect drives. I heard DT4 might soon be able to emulate IDE drives, no longer about SCSI, which the curent version of SF that PoP uses probably won't be able to detect.
