GT Legends ?

[DUKE_NUKEM]

Oh my God, here we are again, talking about disabling\unplugging drives, hiding progs and so on.
As for GTR, I give up and wait for a REAL crack for this game. In the end, all protections will be bypassed (as it happened few days ago with Toca Race Driver 2).
Anyway, I hope Starforce 3.7 will not ask me to unplug my TV or anything else, I'm seriously thinking about coming back to console easy-gaming.
I am getting too old for this kind of things, you know...

You have to disable the DVD/CD drives (by removing ide cable usually- haven't tried the power connector) AND turn off node with SFN (which is not strong enough to bypass the new starforce on it's own). The computer , of course is still connected!

SFN has worked for me, no need to remove any power from the drives..

Removing power from the drives, just stops windows from picking them up on restart. Essentially when you disable the Secondary IDE channel, you are doing the same.

Weston, of course I was joking
But the problems are essentially 2:
1.I don't want to disassemble my pc any time I want to play (virtual cd hide and tetris are already too much for me!!!)
2.I have a laptop, so it's not so easy to unplug drives, at least for me.
No way, I'll leave my copy of GT legends on the shelf of the store (and buy F.E.A.R. instead ^^).

honestly though guys,whats more hassle...dismataling your pc and removing power cables blah blah or just insert a dvd in your drive.

bit of a no brainer.

Dabhand, I'm interested that you've got it to run with SFN. What did you disable? (I tried node, secondary, and then the individual drives but they were still detected).

@weston: Read the info file included VERY carefully. If you miss one step, it won't work. Trust me, I intentionally left out one or two, and it didn't work; with all of them followed, it did.

Technically I disabled, node, secondary and ATA (I have SATA HD's) and mounted a full image of the disc with daemon.


But if you have IDE try some other proggies out there.

[Eagle-666]

do you not have a no dvd crack or image?

is it so difficult to crack a game with starforce protection?

[Schhhh]

I didn't got it to work with just SFN, I had to use StarF..k 0.83 also.
I use Alcohol 120% with RPMS option checked. Tried with Daemon but
with no success.

1. You must have Windows XP with SP2 in order of playing xxxxxxx!?
2. IDE PCI Controller Drivers MUST be OS STANDARD IDE PCI Drivers!?
3. Unpack file sfcure01 that's in tools.rar and launch file !setup.bat
through MS-Dos Prompt and reboot your box.
4. If u have AMD64, then use sfcure_x64 that works same way as the other.
5. Check if all option of Daemon or Alcohol are activated especially
RMPS option.
6. Mount Alcohol 120% img and install the game.
7. Once installation is complete, launch sfdrup.exe to update
StarForce3 drivers and reboot the box.
8. Launch through MS-Dos Prompt the file !start.bat that's in the
unpacked file sfcure01.
9. Unpack file sfn.rar e launch sfn.exe (StarForce Nightmare 1.12)
10 Select in this order "Disable node" , "Disable CD" , "Disable node" , and
the IDE channel you use for real CD/DVD units (Pr. Slave , Sc. Master o
Sc. Slave ) , depending on how your IDE units are connected
11. Launch the game.
12. Play.


Try this if above fails, you must have gone through step 1 to 9 first:

Do it in this order:
1. First of all, mount the image with Alcohol 120%

2. Run StarF..k and select StarForce x.x.x.x and then disable CD Roms
(keep the program running)

3. Then run SFNightmare, disable CD, disable Node, disable Channel
(keep the program running)

Run game, if it doesn't work try with SFN again (No need to restart SFN) Maybe change disabling order.

GL!
