Waooh,

I jsut check that Silent Hunter 3 was protected by the
same Starforce version than Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
(v3.4.71.19)

So if your tip wotks for Silent Hunter 3, it should work
for Splinter Cell Chaos Theory too

I'll try...

Tomorrow evening, I'm borrowing an external enclosure that will allow my IDE DVD-rewriter to connect to my PC via USB2.0.

I'll update you guys tomorrow night to see if thread starter's method is reproducible on my computer. FYI, I was able to create a complete DPM file using my NEC ND-3520A at High Precision and 1x (it took 2 hours and 12 minutes!!)

After buying an external 5.25" USB2.0 enclosure and putting my DVD-RW inside it, the game still wouldn't run. In fact, as the game disc was being checked, I got a BSOD. After a hard boot, I noticed these words on my DVD-RW icon in My Computer--"Emulation Needed."

I think it means that my burned DVD is not good enough even with the RMPS emulation turned on via A120%. I did burn with DPM at High Precision and a speed of 1x with the latest Alcohol 120%. I don't know why this is not working. And yes, I tried both disabling the 2nd channel, CD-ROMs, and node using Starforce Nightware as well as physically unplugging the CD-RW I had on the second channel.

This sucks....

Hi,

Almost the same for me.

After running "sfclean.exe" , i was able to extract DPM info with my NEC3520-A DVD RW(precision high + 1x speed)

Then i've burn it , pysically disabled all my IDE drives, set disable node with sfnightmare , put the NEC3520-A on an external 5 1/4 USB2.0 adapter with RPMS emulation on with alcohol but
it doesn't work

The authentification process starts, hangs 1/2 minutes and finally gives an error

Can somebody help pleaaassse .

Thx

It is not normal that the DPM process takes more than an hour to complete. Wich game have you tried to backup?

The StarForce 3 version included in Splinter Cell 3 uses a new method to prevent DPM reading. You can now only make a working DPM on a computer on wich no StarForce 3 drives were ever installed.

This method is working for me with the following games:

DTM Race Driver 2 (European-Version)

Splinter Cell Chaos Theory (European-Version)

Silent Hunter 3 (European-Version)

If you want to make a backup of one of those games, use my .MDS. You can even use my .MDS with the US version you only need to swap the US StaForce Key with the Europe StarForce Key. I would be happy to send you the european keys via PM.

Have Fun!!!

Hello Karlmueller,

All these informations concern Splinter Cell Chaos Theory

Thanks for all your informations : i've leached an mds file from
the following site (www.copybase.ch) and i've followed all your
instructions (especially setting my new burn DVD in an external USB 2.0
box) and this woooorks !!

But something is scaring me : even if i use "sfclean.exe" tool (to remove
starforce drivers) , my DPM extractions can finish but are not good anymore.
It's very annoying., especially for the next securom or starforce game i'll
next want to backup

Is there a solution to remove this starforce virus (for DPM extraction) ?

Thx again.

I have the IDEtoUSB adapter plug´t in my DVD-Rom and the Games Silent Hunter III and Obscure run´s, but the CD-Key is needed. Ich have typed in...and let´s go Play.

But i must unplugt the DVD-Rom after loading the Game. The system hang´s after 5-10 min. I can open Program´s and in the Taskmanager say´s is loading, but my system can´t open the Program....when i unplugt the USB-Cable, then the Program run normal.

But, the best is....the Games is running.....
