SHIII v1.4b w/ crack?

[kz26]

Would this method work for getting rid of the StarForce in 1.4b?

1. Install SH3 on another computer besides the comp u use for playing
2. Patch that installation to 1.4b
3. Use Starforce Cleaner and get rid of starforce
4. Get rid of the exe's and dll's in the SHIII install directory
5. Burn that install directory to a disk
6. Overwrite your primary PC's SHIII v.1.0 installation folder (still using
v1.0 exe's and dll's)
7. Run the game?

What's going on here is that you are replacing the 1.0 files with 1.4 files directly,
not from any Starforce-happy patching programs. You still use the original
EXE's and dll's.

I have not tried this, would it work?

P.S. Does the 1.0 no-cd crack on GCD work with patch v.1.1?
