Copy every StarForce 3 Game, no cracks are required

[Pyr0]

what ram drive software did you use?
i'm trying Superspeed RamDisk, but so far no luck

all i've done is create a 20meg ramdrive and copy the mini image to that.
i renamed the daemon tools bus driver when it installed.
i've enabled all emulation in daemon tools, done the registry pnp bios extension thingy,and renamed the vendor of the virtual drive to usb2.0.
installed awxDTools, closed daemon from the sysem tray, leaving all emulation enabled.
mounted the mini image (from G.B.W.)from the ramdisk, by right clicking on the mds file.
and finally tried to run the game, it sat there for 3 minutes, and then said that the disc key i had entered did not correspond to the disk in the drive, and to make sure i used the correct disc key

i know my key works cos i bought the game, so it must be a prob with reading the mini image?

Didnt work for me either, i think for the first time i´ll see a game with no crack for it

Hello, lads,

I had installed SH3 from the mds / mdf image of the game, mds is the karlmueller's version. This image resides on a haddisk on an external drive, which is connected via USB. The game installed perfectly, upgraded, disabled my lone cd (whic is primary slave), mounted the image at external drive,

and voila!

the game will certainly work, but since i have used the mds of karlmueller, my serial number is rejected! I can test it (and will %99percent succeed), if he could PM me the EMEA version!

Try USB connections, friends, you will prevail!

And Karl, I hope you will read this post and help me

By guys!!

Is the only trick, to mount the image in from a ramdrive in a virtual drive or do i have to mount the image IN a ram-drive?

Mount the image from a ram drive to a DM tools virtual drive (all emulation on)...you cant mount to a ram drive, hopes this clears it up.
On another note, dont know if somebody knows anyway around this, I took a cracked version of the protection.dll from my NO-CD patched CMR2005 and renamed it udmlib.dll and copied it over the original one in SCCT to try it out. NOw when I start SCCT I get the CM2005 picture trying to check the disk. As far as I can tell I think it bypassed the protection but was unable to start the game...think its cause it try's to point a file or exe in the CMR2005 directory instead. Does anyone know how to edit this to work with SCCT?? Crazy Idea I know, but It may work . My kids dont understand how to mount an image so a Cd crack would be better for me, I would buy SCCT on D2D just to get a cd free version but you cant activate in Scotland, only america according to there site

what ramdrive software are you using?
and could you give the details of your configuration/settings of daemontools and your ramdrive please?
the more detail the better

I tried his method using DT v3.47 with all emulation options set on, all Alcohol 120% virtual drives turned off, and using RAMDisk v1.7. Also, both the CD-drives and Nodes were disabled using StarForce Nightmare v1.12.

Well, it didn't work. I didn't really expect it to so I wasn't disappointed, which is a good thing.
