AntiStarforce Tool!!

www.cdsteam.net - get the proggi there - it WORKS - i tested it with the fall: last days of gaia and a mini image created with MIR - perfectly. you just have to config it a bit, complicated if you are not german cause the readme is german.

[bierhuettl]

the documentation is only in german.

so the main thing is you dont have the system harddisk at the same ide cable like one of the atapi ide drives... i deactivated my drives over .bat files, which reactivate them after you click "ok", but you have to let the batch files open while playing, a message box says so. then a STAR****.exe tool patches your registry.

Well, I have to say it did not work for the first try with my image mounted in alcohol. the Starforce protection system checked the image for about a minute, then gave the error that the key on the disc is not correct. I will try it with daemon now and I hope it will work!!

The tool is now 2 weeks old and working fine. All cd/dvd drives should be on secondary ide and put a disc in the drives. No matter what for a disc, it makes the rescan easier and safer unless you want to reboot.
Btw you can mount the mini images of starforce games in daemon or alcohol. No difference.

well in the .nfo that comes with it it says the prog was released on nov 22... so star**** claims to be able to "****" starforce 3.4.63.xxx while the fall only uses 3.4.62, so, should it work? do you use aggressive method or do you even use the batch that deactives the whole ide cable?

i use cd drives on the both ide cables that are on my mainboard, my hd's are hanging at a seperate pci ide controller. i am mounting the image of the disc 1 of the game with daemon, i created it with alcohol with starforce profile, 1x dpm measure. i deactivate primary and secondary ide with agressive option, and when trying to patch with star**** he says "found 2 drivers, patched 0", what is that?

the game refuses to work with the message that the entered key is not correct. what should i do now?

another problem is that there are no settings if you got drives at primary AND secondary, cause i got three optical drives. the ini files are only either for primary or secondary.

can you help me? do i need a real mini image like the ones you can download for some games or should a real image also do? thanks.

The file, when executed, is recognized by McAfee to be a Trojan: PWS-Ilg.dr (http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_130220.htm)

So be careful!

[bierhuettl]

beautiful. i was just wondering why the original tool is only 400kb of size. i will delete that one now.

the trojan? is it in the link on top?

[EMPiRE]

There is currently not much to be found on PWS-Ilg.dr (PWS = Password Stealer) as it was detected 4 days ago and it has been given a low risk.

McAfee seems to be to only one who has a "fix" for it!

Also the site "gameplusplus.com", where the file is located, looks very suspicious... with only 1 line of text:

A free set utility of anti starforce. download it.

[bierhuettl]

Please change the text on your main page!!!

Currently a tool called AntiStarForce has been released on a dummy website, which looks to be a TROJAN/VIRUS!
When executed it extracts a few files, including antistarforce.exe, which is being detected by McAfee as a TROJAN called: PWS-Ilg.dr

Only the person who packed the tool into a setup added a trojan, but the tool is real, its called STAR F U C K, and it is also contained there in a subfolder and seems to work for many people. So as long you do not run antistarforce.exe after installing it, there will be no problem.[/

The tool here is mentiones is called "Star****er". It were "released" on November 22th, as someone posted above, and only will be available "Clean" on some web sites, including mine (CdSTEam).

In a few days will be fully support in spanish, english, german or russian.

In a few days too will be available a new version of that tool, with improved anti-blacklisting code.

TIP: There is only four .bat for hiding primary or secondary IDE drives (normal and agressive) and Star****.exe which runs Protection patcher.

TIP#2: This tool is totally free and legal, cause it does not modify anything from the game or the starforce engine itself. It just hides IDE drives to Win, and in consecuence, to Starforce. No mistery here.

This is excellent news! You will then have lots more visitors to your site.
Good news about the Starforce patch as well.

Could you write here if and where exactly(link) the tool will be available in other languages?

The problem is that i got my three optical ide drives at the primary AND the secondary ide onboard controllers... and star****er seems to only be able to deactivate one of them. what do i do new?

btw. my version there, that trojaned one, included only german help files.

anyway, the game does not recognize my image as game disc after checking about one minute or more, it says the entered key isnt correct for the corresponding one... so, what now?? is it cause i dont use a miniimage but the real image of the starforce protected disc? or is it cause the keys are blacklisted? thx

[Morglum007]

@chaosmaster: When available it will be shown.
@bierhuettl:

u should run first hide primary ide drives, and then secundary ones. I have same configuration and sometimes doesn't hide what it should hide, but finally it goes the right place. This should be fixed in the future, but i say it is a bad IDE configuration for THIS purposes.
Finally, making a working SF image is not so easy, so if it doesn't launch, maybe image has a bad .mds
SF doesn't blacklist keys, cause it will be blacklisting a mill original CDs cargo.

Don't know if i replied u correctly.

Tip: Here it is (by now) the german, russian and english files. It is in english by default.

[bierhuettl]

yes, i did it.

the cause it did not work was that i did not use MIR to shrink the game image to a mini image... with mini image it works perfectly!!

i created a new profile for my pc with a cdrom.ini file for my drives... and then i modified one of the rapid batch files and i can start the game over this links now. **** this is complicated.
