Playing "Starforce" protected games. Guide please!

Lets clarify things step by step:

1.- DaB: yes i can prove, and i m saying how to reproduce results. You may disagree on this point all u want, but the way tests were done have been explained, just believe or not.
According to ur second affirmation u r, as most times, incorrect. SF works in a very different way other protections do (considering Safedisc, SecuROM, Tages, Laserlock, or whatever). Only Tages aproaches SF in optical drives routines, but only does one to four "non standart" check by disc authentication.
To clarify that u must understand how optical drives reads discs, and as i can see, as ever, u speak a lot but dont understand anything. Depending on check on disc zone, drive will proceed in one way or another (CAV/PCAV/CLV), and depending on it, it will make an ECR/ECC error recovery routine. An standart PC drive will read forward without problems (hour way) and will go backwards to check if data is correct and correct if needed (ECR/ECC error) (i recomend u to read CDFreaks Spath articles to learn how drives works). This is the way SF works, reading disc backwards continously, and as u may obtain from driver manufacturer, this is the way a drive is not intended to work. In retail boxes it is usually common to see a drive may do a quick error recovery by reading backwards till certain point, but not in a regular way. Since Tages do this from one to four times at a check, SF does continously (about 20-50 jumps) at a check.
This is the base, from here, think urself.
Both Safedisc, Laserlok or SecuROM reads disc forward, that means no drive stressing. A PC drive is not a XBOX360 drive, reads forward.

Regarding last comment, it is my opinion just by reading ur usual comments.

2.- Tip: I already know, thanks, but i dont care about money. If i liked money as u state, it had been a lot of time i werent here "helping" internet users. Probably i ll be in a prot company designing the prots most of u discusses here or on cdfreaks. Money isnt my main objective in this life.
Secondly, if ppl have "rld SF toolbox" out there, is thanks to cdsteam, who teached old Rld guys to manage SF in the ring0 times. Maybe about SF ring0 vm cdsteam is the leader "group" out there, we made logger and interpreter, so no secret to us. We can "assemble" instructions in SF languaje in real time, so thats not a problem for us.
Thirdly, even knowing the above, it is not needed to disassemble first vm to make SF to allow bus sniffers like bushound (the second vm is is used during gameplay). Just use BIOS interrupts to make SF bypass IDE resets (thats what u called 10 seconds reset), or simpler, use good SCSI equipment (SiS ones as example). In any case this is not needed, cause once Bushound is allowed, data flux is constant, even with resetings.

Finally, and as a side note, now i remember why i stopped posting here, thanks Tip, Dab, for recalling it.

Good luck!
