You must have Daemon Tools 3-47 and StarFock 0-82 installed and properly configured. You must have launched one time the game and rebooted (installation of the drivers). Then :

01/ Launch StarFock
02/ Choose the protection Starforce63
03/ Patch Black List
04/ Unmount your CD Roms
05/ Close StarFock
06/ Mount the mini-image with Daemon Tools
07/ Launch the game - Play the game - Quit the game
08/ Un-Mount the mini-image with Daemon Tools
09/ Launch StarFock
10/ Choose the protection Starforce63
11/ Mount your CD Roms
12/ UnPatch Black List
13/ Close StarFock

If you want to relaunch the game, close your windows session and begin a new session, then repeat the 13 steps.

You don't have to do that

Set the Preferences of starf*ck to tell it what channel your CD/DVD drives are located on, the mode to use (aggressive works for me) and the path to Daemon Tools, then save that config and starf*ck will remember it.

Next use the Link Generator in starf*ck to make a 1 click link that mounts the image, disables the CD/DVD drives, runs the game (you have to tell it it to use BIN\Scrap.exe ), then when you exit the game it will unmount the image and re-enable your CD/DVD drives. Save the link to your desktop so it's easily run! I leave it set to the default protections mode: 'Starforce 3.4.63.002'

Once you've done that, you only have to keep creating a link for each game you have, then you lauch the game via the link everytime, no messing about patching/disabling/mounting/running/unmounting/enabling

The only other thing to remember is that Daemon Tools has at least 1 drive enabled so Starf*ck can mount the image!

In theory, you are right ... except it doesn't work for me with Scrapland (it works for the other Starfarce protected games).
It's curious : if I do that manually step by step, it works. If I do the same thing with a command line, it doesn't work. I think there are some delays problems, and StarFock is a beta...

I used the mini image I sent to GCW.

If you run Scrapland.exe, be aware that it runs another EXE BIN\Scrap.exe, so if you setup a link to run the game and you use Scrapland.exe, it won't work! You have to use BIN\Scrap.exe in the Links Generator screen!

As to why it won't work, first try running Starf*ck, click Preferences and set the channel your CD/DVD drives are on and the mode to Aggressive, then save that setting. Run starf*ck again, click on StarForce 3.4.63.002 and click the 'Disable CDROMS' button then check your cdroms are actually disabled in your 'My Computer' screen!

If not, try using the 'Super Aggressive' mode and try again, if you still can't get it to disable your drives try 'Normal' mode, but this locked up my PC when I tried it! Also try to put your CD/DVD drives are on the secondary IDE channel if possible.

If you still have trouble, use your original disc!

Indeed, that was the tip ! Now it works in theory and in practice.

Thank you !
