Splinter Cell Chaos Theory

What you need

1.USB Adaptor housing costing £20 to £50
2.Starforce Nightmare software (Links on this site)
3.Alcohol 120 software latest version (1.9.5.2802). A trial version can be found at http://www.alcohol-software.com/

Firstly, you need to make a backup of the original disc. To do this, start Alcohol 120 and select FILE/OPTIONS/EMULATION, and then check the RMPS box. Now select FILE/OPTIONS/READING, and check the DPM measuring precision to HIGH. Now go to IMAGE MAKING WIZARD, select the Starforce 1/2/3 profile, and ensure the read speed is 1*. Next you simply select the destination for the MDF and MDS Image files. Please note that if the file size exceeds 4gb, then your disks MUST be formatted with NTFS, as FAT32 has a single 4gb limit on files. Wait for the disc to be scanned and the files created, and then you are ready to burn your image. Note that with the latest Starforce, you can't mount this image, you must burn it to a DVD. Select the IMAGE BURNING WIZARD, and burn to disc, ensuring theat the RMPS box is checked.

Now we need to play from this backup. The latest Starforce checks for any IDE drives, and INSISTS that the DVD must be in this drive. We must therefore ensure it can't see any IDE channels, either by unplugging them, or by using the much easier STARFORCE NIGHTMARE, which allows you to disable the IDE channel that the optical drive is using. Simply start the program and disable the channel the optical drive is using. Next, ensure that the USB drive is installed with appropriate drivers if required (XP usually self-configures USB devices). Now in Alcohol or Daemon tools (doesn't matter which), select 'ENABLE RMPS EMULATION', and insert your backup into the USB drive and run the game.

If the game doesn't run, then it's most likely that you MDS file has not been created correctly, so you must use one somebody else has made (available here and on other sites).
