DTM / Toca 2 - Some confusion

[dede]

it is hardware, driver & mini image corect serial problem,(not your original dvd serial) each mini image have a personal serial so the german have a german serial the uk a uk serial & a uk or german mini image can not work on a euro dvd version.

1. Is there any solution for the "writing game serial" hangs?
Yes as exemple, have a german original game installed, have a german mini image on demon tools, have the corect serial for this mini image.
(The NCRYSO i mean, is for GERMAN version so you need the corect serial for this German M.IMAGE they NCRYSO mount on demon with hes launcher)
OR FOR NCRYSO go to you rd2 regkey and change the next line from UK or US or EUR To:GER
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Codemasters\Race Driver 2]
"SKU"="GER"

2. Is there any solution for the sf cpu hunger?
YES corect serial etc... same as previous.

3. What sf version is in place? Some people say *.49, others say *.63. I have tried both.
If you use STARF0CK no importance i have played on different machines with update 1.2 without any prob, he can a maximum can already a minimum so set it to *.63. I have 5 computers and all in same categorie as previous post description.

4. Is there any auto-via-internet-update in sf? Sometimes the results of my attempts were not reproducable, e.g. that NCRYSO stopped to work on the office machine
Yes but i have loosing the link, go to CMR 2005 THREAD you can found STARFORCE driver update for NERO 6.6 codec compatibility issues

5. Does it make a difference which mini-image to use? I know how to adapt the sku setting in the registry, but maybe star****.exe's cpu hunger is related to an incorrect image?
YES star****.exe's cpu hunger is related to an incorrect image OR SERIAL for this m.image.

6. What is the deal with the serials? My understanding is that the serial is related to the disc series you have. Some people do not seem to need a serial at all.
NO the serial is related to the MINI IMAGE series THAT you have.

SORRY for bad english i am french.
