Copy every StarForce 3 Game, no cracks are required

[Diranar]

I have the same problem my drives make DPM with Blindwrite, but in Alcohol it seemsto be random, if it read's it or not.
Maybe the new ALcohol is still buggy?

Blindwrite has a unique way it does things, it reads the topography of a disc with a fine toothbrush (metaphorically ofcourse) and dumps it, but does it like the old fashioned amiga nibble process, it will do each part of the cd bit by bit rather attempting to read whole tracks at once.

Alcohol is different, and tries the tracks at once which sometimes works other times doesnt.

Thx to karmueller, I was able to try to backup my US copy of SCCT with a European mds.

Well, thx karlmueller, but it still didnt' work for me. I still get the msg in My Computer saying that 'Emulation is needed.' This is despite me burning a disc with speeds of 2.4x with RMPS and later on, turning on the RMPS emulation on through A120%. I tried it with both v1.9.5.2722 and v1.9.5.2802.

So, i gave up finally and returned the USB2.0 enclosure I had bought.

Playing with the original DVD sucks. i hope hoodlum or reloaded or vengeance hurrys up and releases a no-dvd.

yes

I've tried this with Silent Hunter III EMEA version and have to say it doesn't work yet. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Is anyone working on a noCD/DVD for Silent Hunter III 1.2?

Dongle-Project:

Software: Splinter Cell 3 - Chaos Theory (European Multi-Language Version)
.mds-file createt by Karlmueller (thx, man!)
Alcohol 120%, latest release, as trial
Star*uck V.083beta

Hardware: NoName USB 2.0 IDE Adapter (no manufacturer on box mentioned)
Lite-On LTD163 DVD-ROM
Medion DVD+RW

Created an image as "normal data dvd" under use of alcohol.
Burned it under use of the "rmps"-switch (.mds-file by Karlmueller).
Installed the game via USB-connected Drive.
Patched Blacklist & deactivated my internal ide-drives under use of
Star*uck V0.83 beta.

Doubleclicked SC3-Icon (after rebooting because of installed starforce-driver), hacked in my ORIGINAL and UNIQUE key... starforce disc check intitiated... and - yep - succesful!

Thx 2 Karlmueller. Let´s how long this work-around will work around ;-D

I gues the starforce-crew is right behind it...

Grx
