NEW Starforce Killer,Run all Starforce Protected games as mounted

[SoulFire]

This is something i just came across and its called SFSECURE

taken from the readme

As some of you know by now a tool called sfcure has been released on a
well known site. There a versions of this tool avaiable. One is a bit
older than the other one. I tested the newer one. Here is a little manual
for you all.

1. Unzip sfcure01.zip
2. doubleclick !setup.bat to install the driver and press "ok" to put the
needed information into your registry
3. restart your computer
4. to start the driver doubleclick !start.bat (to stop it after use
doubleclick !stop.bat)
5. Get yourself a copy of Splinter Cell Chaos in mdf/mds format made with
Alcohol 120%. The mds-file has to contain the DPM-information (DPM= Data
Position Measurement) and the mdf-file has to one big non-splitted image.
A image splitted into for example 2 gig segments wont work, at least it
didnt work for me. The mdf-filesize for Splinter Cell Chaos Theory is 4,15
gigabyte for me.
6. Mount the image and install the game.
7. Start Starforce Nightmare 1.12 and disable your internal ide-Cd and
DVD-drives and also disable node.
8. Now start the game while the sfcure-driver is started and starforce
will verify that the mounted image is real. (Some of you maybe have to
restart your computer because Starforce tells you to do this)
9. Enjoy Splinter Cell Chaos Theory without an USB-drive!

Btw: The above mentioned method has also been tested by me on the following
games 1944: Battle of the Bulge, Panzers: Phase Two, Cross Racing Championship
2005 and Trackmania: Sunrise. I can personally confirm that I played them without
a problem.

Also a short note on Starforce Nightmare 1.12. From starforce version 3.5.XX.XX
and further you cant use Starforce Nightmare to disable your internal ide-CD and
DVD-drives. In such a case you have to manually remove the powercable from your
drives. But you still have to use Starforce Nightmare to disable node, because this
is needed to hide your virtual drives.

I hope this manual helps some of you without an USB-drive to play Splinter Cell
Chaos Theory and other SF-titles, while we wait for Daemon Tools 4. I also hope that
some clone-groups release high-DPM versions of newer SF-titles such as Bet on Soldier
or the upcoming Brothers in Arms.

[SoulFire]

my main idea was 2 get this 2 run on ALL games and not only splintercell CT

well for now that i see no cracks around, makking a perfect clone and then using the combo of SFCure + nightmare is the only way around 2 beating starforce and is the only way told by these cracker groups 2 play the game without a cd.
@noscript:no im not new 2 all this,and sf nightmare alone is no good against starforce.u need 2 use a combo of these 2

i didnt have much time 2 try around brian lara which is a cd game(not dvd)

any1 having success with the same do post back,i will too soon

I allready posted this long ago... Do a search before you post.

Link to my post

There is a download and how to use it there.

[Sirrus]

I couldn't pass the protection. I already tried every mentioned step to kill SFC protection but in suffering it says "use another drive" and in GT legends that this is not original or something like that.

However, the problem is on nightmare 1.12. With unpluging power cables it works, i tried it. but what if i don't want to leave my computer like a wrecked car just for playing with my back-up cd???

My problem is with SF nightmare 1.12. i am disabling cd's, node and then pri-slave, sec-master, sec-slave but can not pass the protection.

my ide combination is:

Pri master: 80 gb seagate HD
Pri slave: LG CD/DVD-Rom
Sec master: LG CD-RW
Sec slave: Philips CD/DVD-RW

Is there any solution or advice? I would be appreciated...

[Joe Forster/STA]

No, there is no other solution currently available. For GT Legends, you have to follow every step (!) of the instructions, otherwise it won't work; I tested it!

[rocky_841]

is it true that this method does not work unless u have XP sp2? how about if u got sp1, or just plain xp with no service packs? anyone tried it without sp2?

@rocky 841
I notice you are from Australia. Now I dont know if this is the case in all countries but in Australia if you go to your local computer shop and ask for the Microsoft Sp2 Disc they will give it to you, on CD, for free!!

[Muji-FightR]

Well, in Germany nobody would do that ! They would just have a short look at you and think you're crazy...they would maybe tell you to download it yourself, but handing you out a CD would let them waste their money. They cant do THAT !

[Grumpy]

The shops here will give you a proper Microsoft released CD of Sp2, I dont mean the shop will burn Sp2 to a CD for you.

[realizum]

Does anyone knows the link to download sfcure? I can't find it.
