Nahh there is no point boycotting, help the SF makers by giving them your PC specs and error msg's etc that occur, im sure by helping them they will help you.

Also as I said ive not had any problems in shape or form with Starforce. Im just one of the many lucky ones I guess.

DABhand, unfortunately, SF guys will not HELP u anymore with problems with its prot. The way SF is turning is by eliminating any thread that could get its protection system compromised. This way, SF will not stop even if many systems get crashed.

I have no problems with SecuROM or Safedisc, and i hadn't too with SF before SCCT arrived. The problem now isn't a cracking/not cracking/copying/not copying/emulating issue. SF is becoming a very interesting system, and it is close to be FULLy cracked.

What i'm trying to say is that SCCT implemented its new SF system to intercept IDE calls "on the flY", checking or not original CD, and this CRASH FOREVER some DVD drives, such LG, Toshiba, or some SONY. When i say crash, i'm saying to buy a new one, cause older does not burn anymore.

Drives without a very stable writing system, like "Just Link", at the end will be ****ed by the intrussion of SF in IDE calls. SF, as someone stated earlier isn't a passive driver anymore, it is fully active ALWAYS, even when extracting DPM or burning DVDs. This way, Just link overloads and then, drive motor spins up an down without any ritmic control. Finally, drive DIES. This is not a foolish warn, thats what spanish people from almost everywhere reports, and we know why. I simply recommend not to use SF to protect their drives, but at ur own ( as said in english).

PS: I have a lot of ORIGINAL games, even with SF, but not for playing the standart way( some of then DOESN'T work on my MACHINE due specs, but i don't care). I use cracks to play them ( to PLAY), even having original, cause i know how SF works, and don't like how it runs.

Null warns are most times useless, thats what i recomend.
