[madkiller632]

i read that but I still cant figure out if its possible to get the game to work with out a cd. did any of the methods in that thread actually work?

[madkiller632]

also if i wanna make a backup dvd to run splinter cell off of what do i put on the dvd?

oh oh oh dude
1. bumping your posts is NOT allowed (have a look at the rulez !!!)
2. Splinter Cell 3 can be played without original DVD if you have
- a working mini image
- a USB2 DVD drive
- unplugged your IDE / ATA drives

[madkiller632]

sorry for the bump.

I got the mini image from gamecopyworld.com

I also know how to disable the drives.

What is a usb 2.0 drive and how do i know if i have one?

EDIT- also when you say unplug can i use starforce nightmare for the drives?

EDIT2- what program should i use thats free that i can use to burn the image to a dvd?

What is a usb 2.0 drive and how do i know if i have one?

It is an external drive connected with your PC via USB 2.0
I think you should know if you have a USB 2.0 drive or a "normal" internal IDE drive ....
-> if there is a cable leading from your USB2 device to a strange box which can read DVDs you have a USB2 drive !

also when you say unplug can i use starforce nightmare for the drives?

I think this will not work ! You have to unplug the power cable of you drives (not your hardrive !!!)...

what program should i use thats free that i can use to burn the image to a dvd?

If it is an .mds/.mdf file you have to use Alcohol 120% and this is not for free ! I don't know freeware being able to burn Alcohol 120% images...

cheers muJi

what if i have an internal drive?

how do i unplug drives that are inside my computer?

[Muji-FightR]

what if i have an internal drive?

You will unfortunately have to buy a USB 2 DVD drive if you want to play SC3 without DVD ! The alternative is buying a IDE to USB2 converter which is about 15 $/€...

how do i unplug drives that are inside my computer?

Open your comp, and pull the the power cable of the drive you want to unplug (normally the smaller one of the 2, the other one is IDE)!
But watch out what you're unplugging ! I would not suggest to pull off the power cable of the HD your OS is located on

I think he could be talking about the warez version
Cant think of another reason why he would want to burn the image to dvd?

Oops, my apologies madkiller632

[DABhand]

Wrong,


Hes talking about the mini-image

[XdaywalkerX]

mini-image or not... if he have an original dvd he don't need a mini image or other useless stuff - think about - those guy must have a working dvd drive to install this game. whitout a installation a mini image is totally useless

if you have problems to start the game contact the developer of starforce - they will give you a rescue key to start the game without dvd - u can only use the key with the relevant hardware.

end of topic... senseless discussion - imho warez talk

That is crazy, speacially unplug things.

Why all StarForce games are normally cracked but SplinterCell don't? What is special here? I really don't know

[Muji-FightR]

Thats the only way to get it run (for now).
I think a real NoCD crack will take some more time
But its StarForce 3.5 which is really nasty to me, there are about >100 encrypted files for SplinterCell 3

//There are some SF3 games that arent cracked yet:
Trackmania sunrise
Codename Panzers 2
Bet on Soldier
...
