Does Splinter Cell work from networked drives?

[GTRdude]

if it does work from an external HDD please tell me i have a firewire drive

[!HaGaR!]

Hm... Buddies... So please let me know how you mount an image stored on an external/sata drive? Lemme guess with some kinda virtual cd/dvd tool. But there is no difference then between internal/external device. It doesn´t matter where the image is stored.

No one can answer this!? Ok, maybe I'll make it more clear.

If my DVD drive is on a laptop networked to my PC, will Starforce allow me to use this drive, or will it insist that the drive be local to the PC?

I dont think so, it has to be local.

Why can't people just play with their original disks till a crack comes out.
If it doesn't work from the original disks .. then.. umm .. DO NOT POST HERE!

(maybe in general gaming)

This thread doesn't need to be stickied. It needs to be closed!

Playing from a network device does NOT work cuz in a network even a dvd device for your PC is only a directory but no device. So the game doesn't find any DVD and asks you to put one in a drive.

I know there are some brilliant minds watching this post and they are just dying to answer some newbie questions. First, I backed up my original using alcohol 120, then I went to burn it, but the rmps box was grayed out... did I do something wrong there? And should I use DVD+R or DVD-R media? And why is there a "no-cd fix" on GCW if that method does not work? Thanks!

I posted a new method to run a backup of SCCT without usb drive here :

anyone can try it ?

How long must you wait until the game started?

I just wanted to confirm that the USB-Drive method works.

I used Alcohol 120% 1.9.5 Build 2802 for reading out the RMPS information and burning the backup DVD+R.
I just have the USB drive installed; no other drives so I can't confirm if Starforce Nightmare is working.
