DPM of Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory

[aBra`]

The problem is that the Splinter Cell 3 copy always detects daemon-tools. But there is a proper solution, to stop StarForce scanning for daemon-tools! I translated it from the german, so please excuse me for mistakes .

1. Start Regedit.

2. Goto: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\Scsi" and you will see some folders with this syntax "Scsi Port X".

3. Search through the folders for an entry called this: "Driver=d347prt". This is the daemon-tools drive.

4. Now to stop the copylock from scanning for daemon-tools simply rightclick on the folder which includes the D-Tools drive and click on "Permissions" (i don't know if this is socalled in english version of winxp).

5. Now you will have to activate "Deny/Read only" at "Administrators" (i don't know if this is socalled in english version of winxp).

NOTE: You always have to repeat this steps after reboot, but it works fine for me.

What is working? Playing SCCT by loading its image to a D-Tools virtual driver after using this Registry tweak?

AFAIK, that Registry tweak is for Securom 7 protected games, not Starforce.

This guide has been mentioned so many many many times .. I alone said it 4 times..
it should be in the guides section..
Some really cool user (or mod?) here told me about the hex editor trick. It's so much easier than the constant regedit.
Whoever you are (was it Grumpy?) come forth and claim credit.. and while you're at it .. put it in the guides section.

Many thanks
