Someone on another thread mentioned that starforce 3 seems to use angular calculations to verify the disk. So it says that if I rotate the disk by X amount and read this far from the centre, the bytes returned should be XYZ... as I understand it anyway. Someone feel free to correct me.

When you copy the disk, the physical locations of sectors won't be a perfect copy. It's a tricky one to trick anyway, and means that programs like gamedrive and alcohol120% are immediately beaten.

For the most part, it's an extremely complete copy protection system. Encrypted instructions, debugger detection, advanced cd verification techniques. But nothing is immortal :-)

If I had the time, resources and knowledge, I'd attack the starforce driver itself and always get it to tell the client what it wants to hear. It'd provide a nice general crack for all sf3 games.

It will NEVER get cracked for 100%. The latest version can be implemented at any possible place at any possible time, so for at least trying to crack it, you have to finish the game numerous times, and debugging a complete CD is out of the Q. So SF3 *is* the ultimate copy protection. It's also sterile for reoccuring code, every copy does get a different wrapper.

StarForce 3 is allready cracked. Soldiers Heroes of WWII has been cracked and got StarForce 3 protection, so it isn't a protection u CANT crack. U just have to be very good to crack it

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The newest StarForce protection is a very hard and - for a longtime - unsuccessfully cracked/bypassed/copied copy protection. It uses a very accurate data position measurement algorithmwhoes needed informations (currently) can't be copied by 100%

------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the info i've red but it has been cracked!

yup i am sure about the name of the game, but it has been cracked via clonecd and some changes in some files, but u still have to play via cd, but it's nice for a backup for playing via LAN.

so let's hope now that the no-cd crack comes also very soon!

You've read that from the NCRYISO release, which is a cloneCD(duh. this means it has not been cracked) release, with alot of restrictions (burn at 1x speed on highquality CDR's, and will only work in reading devices not burning).

Soldiers: Heroes of world war II has not been cracked. Don't lie. No one has cracked starforce 3 yet, unless you know some underground 1337 cracker who supplies you with private releases (?).

EDIT: I've bought the game, and the developers deserves credit, because it's a great game.
