About the mini image. I was having trouble getting it to work with the euro version but a bit of poking about in the registry and got it working Here is what to do

1: First u have to get the USA Serial (search and u will find)

2: Run Regedit and find key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CODEMASTERS\RACEDRIVER 2

3: Goto RACEDRIVER2 tab and modify your EURO key for USA key

4: Modify SKU tab from Euro to USA.

5:Play the game

before u use this follow mini image instrusions first.

!!!DO NOT PM ME LOOKING FOR THE SERIAL!!!

Okay, I already asked about this in another thread, but got no response-
anyway: Is there any method to disable your IDE Drives other than unplugging it (no option since playing on a Laptop)?
I already tried savely removing it in Win and disabling IDE adapter in Sytem BIOS- no effect since the machine is running WinXP which recognizes the Drive nonetheless.
Any suggestions would be welcome...

The "StarForce fixed image trick" doesn't work for all systems, I have discovered that on some computer it fails. Does anybody know why?

On Megagames.com
In the Forum Crack/Patch Locator Look for the Posts, in 2 of the posts ive included a Mini Image for the German DVD.

It won't run:
1. If youve Made an Minimal Installation
2. If youre using a wrong Image
( Theres a USA Version ; A EUR Versin; ANd a GER Version out)

get the right Miniimage on Emule if you don't know how else get them...
Have Fun

Yeh I agree with ya, I also couldnt be bothered doing all this to play the game so I just use my ORIGINAL DISC!!!!

@Diranar
THX!!! Your Image for the german version works great! I even dont have to unplugg my cd/dvd drives because they are on a standalone controller.

@ILLUMINATOR23
if you can't figure it out stop crying and play with your original disks.

I just want to confirm that the mini image does work
I made the mistake of using my CD key and not the one provided with the mini image. Use the one that comes with the image.

I don't unplug my DVD drive but rather disable my Secondary IDE chip in the BIOS to by pass Starforce (I use a SATA HD).

BTW the mini image works with 1.2 patch

My problem is that toca 2 wont start without installed starforce drivers. It wants to reinstall the driver after i ve used the clean tool. Without the clean tool it doesnt recognize the dvd image ver 1.2 in daemon 1.37 ( all drives are hooked off , serial and sku are english ) .

Anyone can explain me how to do a mini image like this ? (i don't want download it,i want know how to make one).I know how do with a cd protected,but with a dvd ?
