He, I send the file to GCW and to you - now it´s up to you to do something for the others . . .

But I really don't want to have to unplug my cd rom drives to get a game to work.

The files I have uploaded are the only way I found to play without the inserted DVD! For the StarF*** there is no other way I know!
I know that this is not soooo comfortable, but it works with version 1.20 for me!
By the way - I have only a Notebook, I can just remove my DVD Burner for a second Accu - so no Problem for me.

i heard that egosoft released a nocd patch for X2, also protected with star**** so there is a chance to make a working no cd patch also for X3.
I think i will wait for that becouse it is too uncomfortable to unpluge the ide cables every time.

There is a big difference

Can you play without or not? So it is no DVD . . .

[Smood47]

No DABHand is right.. no-dvd = .exe overwrite and no emulation... what you have here is emulation + image + other protocols (such as disconnting power to cd drives).

There is a big difference being that no-dvd = easy crack. Your method = more difficult.

Not complaining just explaining.

Agreed. My policy is... if I have to do anything physically to my hardware just to start a backup.. its going too far.

Wow! Used Deamon tools 4 and dident have to remove any drives or use any tools, just mounted the image and played the game. Ha! starforce beat at last.
BTW Im running version 1.2.1.

UPDATE:
Just tried same thing on my other computer and it did not work, can't figure out why, they are both very much alike in hardware and setups. So why work on one and not the other, if we could find out the answer to this it could be the end to all our problems.
