Or THIS method (only for CD's)

yes thanks but it's very difficult

@mantra
Does your SF-key start with EK7... ?

[mantra]

yes

[Zulu]

@mantra
Then it's not difficult at all

- create config file and save as tmsunrise.cfg:

TMSUNRISE
EK7**********************
235520 19
107008 22

- measure original angles (also works with a mounted image including a good DPM):

sfcdvd.exe //./x: tmsunrise.cfg > Angles.txt (save as *.bat)

Execute *.bat, open Angles.txt and add values to config file e.g.:

260 348 99 80 230 111

- Create an image and burn it on CD-RW with Alcohol's 'normal CD' profile (keep the image)
- Compare topology of that CD-RW with original angles:

sfcdvd.exe //./x: tmsunrise.cfg s24 t5 m0 v0 > Sector shift.txt (save as *.bat)

Execute *.bat, open Sector shift.txt and add recommended values to config file e.g.:

1 11 15 11 16 10

- Create patched image:

sfmdf.exe tmsunrise.cfg TMSUNRISE TMSUNRISEpatched s v1 (save as *.bat)

Execute *.bat and burn patched image on the same CD-RW with 'Securom' profile; just click 'Ok' at the TOC warning message

P.S. Always verify your results with a second measurement; copy only works in 'read only' drives; in a burner copy will only be checked when connected via USB/SCSI/RAID

Hi Zulu,

This was an extremely interesting article!

Because the documentation of those Starforce Tools is in Russian (?) only, I couldn't find out what exactly they do and how. Now I see this short lecture on how to fix a particular game. But can you tell us a bit more about what these configuration parameters mean? Thanks in advance!

[mantra]

thanks Zulu
i'll do it , should I work with a full image (not a mini image) right?

Can some one write it so that i can also understood what i have to do step by step? Its difficult.

Even if you succeed in patching the image, the copy will only work with certain CD-R media and in certain drives (in writers, it doesn't work at all). It's a pain in the ass!

[fixbaerchen]

Yes please do that!
I don't understand how to get the values of the cfg
