Starforce3..RIP?

[guod]

i'll be damned.it worked.
i tried it with MP8 so same thing
afrika corps is playing.(version 1.0)
so the job is done like this(for those you are bored to read the article)

1.unplaggue all ide devices(cd roms)

2.start windows media player

3.load the image to your virtual drive(created by alcohol daemon tools etc)

4.play the game

i instaled the game from an image so it works fine installing from a copy

nonsense

@Luci:
unplugging all IDE Cd-roms is sufficient for a mounted SF3 backup to work.

The WMP trick is an attempt at REMOVING THAT ANNOYING REQUIREMENT.

If you remove all ide drives, then you don't need the wmp trick at-all.

The idea is NOT having to unplug IDE cdroms to run a backup.

@Luciel:
Disabling is not enough. No ide cdroms should be detected by windows at boot-time. Therefore, they need to be physically unplugged.

Although I haven't verified this, I don't think that disabling is "as if they didn't exist", since you can most likely re-enable them with a few-clicks. So information about these drives is still present 'somewhere' that SF knows about.
