StarForce NIGHTMARE 1.01 - Only works on WinXP - Win 2003 Server!!

One warning, DO NOT CLICK the Disable ATA button unless you like Blue Screens

This new Anti-Starforce tool seems to deal with problems inherent in StarF*ck, namely optical devices on mulitple IDE channels!

It allows disabling not only 1 or both IDE channels, but all CD/DVD drives or an individual Master/Slave drive on Primary/Secondary IDE or a combination of any Master/Slave drive on Primary/Secondary IDE!! So you should be able to disable your drives no matter where they are located on your IDE channel!

Just make sure you know what IDE channel your CD/DVD drives are on and if they are Master or Slave and don't disable your Hard Drives by mistake, you could crash your system

On the downside, this tool has no command line options and no automatic link generator, meaning you have to manually mount you mini images, run SFN and click the appropriate button to disable you drives depending where your optical devices are located, wait for them to be disabled and then run your game! Hopefully, given time, I would think an automatic link generator will be included.

I tested this with Scrapland:

1. Mounted the mini image in Daemon Tools.
2. As I have both DVD-ROM/DVD-Writer on Secondary IDE I clicked Disable ch2 in SFN. This seemed much faster at disabling my drives than the Disable CD or Sc.Mas-Sl Off options!
3. Ran the normal game link to run Scrapland.

It worked!

Seeing as StarF*ck works perfectly well for me (and has the benefit of the link generator) SFN is really only for those who can't get StarF*ck working!

So I'll be sticking to StarF*ck for now
