GTR Probs!!!!!!!

@BarryB

Maybe the rules need to be translated to other languages just to make it clearer for foreign visitors?

This is a very good idea! Then there are no excuses!

[BarryB]

Agreed! I would offer to do the English translation but someone beat me too it

[rasnarfire]

Is my english really so good? Ok, i explain it again: There is a difference between the CD-key for online playing and the SF3 key. Some games have a Starforcekey and a CD-key (f.e. GTR) and there is no hint in the rules that prohibit to post the SF-Key, because that´s only to start with the mini-image. Btw: Is it allowed to post the site, which offers the mini-images with SF-key? This is not directly linking.

Good idea to make the Rules multilingual.

[BarryB]

rasnarfire, I still don't think giving links to SF-KEYS is allowed either. If you own the game then there is NO NEED to give out any key/serial as you will already have a key/serial that comes with the game. If a mini-image is released for a game, then using the key/serial that came with your game should be used to get the game working if it needs one.

The only reason a CD-KEY/SERIAL/SF-KEY would be posted is if someone does not own an ORIGINAL CD/DVD and needs them to get their copy working!

If you are still unsure about posting SF-KEYS, go here:

http://fileforums.com/showgroups.php?

then use the PM facility to contact one of the MODS for the PC GAMES forum and ask them for clarification on the rules!

Here is a mod and his opinion:

Making the board rules multilingual would break board rule #5 !!!
(FileForums are English-Only.) ...my opinion...

Posting links to SF-Keys aren't allowed. In my opinion there's also no need to hold all the mini-images on GCW, because each one who has the original cd, can make his own mini-image, using the tutorial from the "Guides & Tutorial" sticky post. ...my opinion...

(Don't know what the other mods opinion is.)

[BarryB]

On breaking rule #5, if people could read the board rules in their own language (whilst making the point that all posts are made in English), maybe we wouldn't get so many people breaking the rules because their English isn't that good that they don't read them!

But, how many languages to cater for, would anyone actually bother reading these rules, would it make a difference etc, etc!

Perhaps you just like smacking down/banning people

[rasnarfire]

Hm, what should i say to this.
1. It´s right that everyone who has the original can make an own mini-image, but if the drive is bad (like my one) and make a senceless curve the game does not start. Especially the newer version of Starforce proofing very exactly, if the data position messuring is correct. Scrapland and Battlestrike mini-images can be produces only by some people with good drives and i´m happy to get this files from them to play without CD.

2. It´s wrong to think that all mini-images work with every SF-key. The SF-Key is a result of the physical structure of the data on CD and it´s never the same. So only the self-made mini-image run with the own SF-key. You can try to download a mini-image(for example GTR) somewhere and use your own SF-key from GTR. You will see it won´t work. That is the only reason where the key is included in the mini-images. It´s senceless to offer a mini-image without the key. BTW: It´s the same with a crack. I can also say, every person who has the original need no crack?!

Hi guys,

I've also run into some problems with the mini image...

It is important to know that the mini image needs to be mounted to the first emulated CD/DVD drive, the one with the lowest drive letter. This means, if you have both Alcohol 120% and Daemon Tools installed - like I do - then you must mount the mini image with (the first unit of) the emulator configured for the lower drive letter(s).

Also, Starfick 0.83 did NOT work with this game; Starforce Nightmare was needed - because of its more advanced blacklist patcher, I guess.

By the way, a command line interface for Starforce Nightmare would be welcome, as that would make it possible to run the game from a batch file, without any user interaction...

Hey shadow_ro,
