its a game from taiwan called the seventh seal. its made by a taiwan company called Soft-world International Corporation

and this game is very very new hardly a month old i would guess

but im surprised that a game made in taiwan (which doesn't have such a huge market) would actually be unable to copy

since i dont know chinese i cant find anything on this game no crack nothing

but my friend said there is a no cd crack but he wants to backup without the crack. i dont know why

im just worried that if there are games that can't be copied then the game companies win and thats not a good sign

they might use this same protection for the upcoming games like sequels to starcraft, warcraft3, counter-strike, sims etc

i know they want to cut down on piracy but dont they know that the pirates are a lot smarter than the game companies and will fend off any protections that they throw at them

but why do we as consumers suffer from not being able to backup our programs.

If this really is a new kind of protection and it gets used on some more popular games people will find a way to copy it.

Have you tried making an image using Alcohol with SecuROM 4.8 settings and mounting that image?

tried that also

tried alcohol using securom and safedisc settings burning them on cdrw and when that didn't work i just played it off the alcohol emulator drive
-still didn't work

every time you put the cd in (original or otherwise) it would say "checking disk".

if the original is entered then autorun would startup

if the fake/backup cd is entered it would say wrong cd and it wouldn't run

the install exe is only 36kb and the rest of the files are also pretty short except the main data2.cab file which is 400+mb

if that is any indication of what the protection could be

finally

finally we are getting somewhere

thanks for the link Vluka

but one thing though

---------------how to beat StarForce--------

here is direct text from that site for those who need it

-----------------------------------------
An RPG game, “Seventh Seal: The Resurrection of the Dark Lord ”, was released in Taiwan, on September 28th. It is based on the story of six kinds of energy kept by the “seventh seal” and is expected to become a hit in Taiwan, Malaysia, China, USA, Canada, Singapore, and Hong Kong. The game is published by the Taiwanese company, Soft-World International Corp Ltd, which regularly protects its PC games by StarForce copy protection systems.

Copying:

It can't be copied with the existing software.

Running:

The only way to make a backup copy is to replace the executable with the unprotected one.
No other way...

you just cannot create a working copy of a Starforce protected game as they use special (expensive) media.
use a crack, it's the only way to get around this.
