The USB 'trick' means burning the image to cd-r(w) with RMPS emulation enabled in Alcohol 120%, disabling all IDE cd-/dvd-rom drives of your system and then using an external USB cd-/dvd-rom drive + Alcohol or Daemon Tools to do the RMPS emulation. Actually this appears to be the only solution for backing up the latest Starforce protection (atm).
Maybe you could upload your .MDS file to some service like www.rapidshare.de and post the link here, so other forum members (who weren't lucky enough to get a proper .MDS ) can try your one as well...

Get the mds file at copybase site.Gonna test it if it works.

The file from copybase.ch was made from the german release
I guess, that's why it didnt't work for my UK import version...

The file @ copybase seems to be the .mds of the France-Version.
Region "Frankreich".

But... 4kb... Isn´t it a bit small?


I tried to dump an own .mds file from my german Sunrise-Version.
Well, the .mds-file (and dpm-dump) seems to be created succesfully,
but the burned disc won´t work (rmps emulation is active) with the usb-trick.

So I guess my .mds is screwed up.
Bye the way: Latest Starforce seems to block DPM-Dumping via IDE-Channels, I created my DPM during the USB-Drive (no more ide-opticals in my system).

Is there a difference? Could some1 who has dumped a working .mds retry dumping the .mds via usb and compare these files?
Maybe dumping a working file is only possible with starforce-free systems?

The .mds file from copybase.ch should work for the german release ('Spielregion: DE'), so there's no need to dump it yourself.

[!HaGaR!]

Well, re-checked the copybase... Confusing Informations...

Trackmania-Sunrise Starforce-Version Vx.x.x.x.
-> Verkaufsregion: Frankreich.

Okay, maybe that´s just the information which starforce-version has been used on the french discs...

.mds-file uploaded should be for the german release... Spielregion: "DE"

So I gave it a try. Downloaded it, swapped my own .mds with the copybase-version...
-> alcohol won´t mount my image-file anymore (yes, renamed the file)
-> can´t burn coz alcohol refuses to burn the "unsupported" .mds.

So I guess it´s fake/different version.

Anyone who can confirm/correct me?
