if you read the info on their site you'll see that it isnt the revolutionary 4.0 that everyone is waiting for, new redesign, some adware added (user can opt to install it), ide jammer is not present, nor is 64 bit driver support, so its the same old **** in a different box, disappointing really because i paid to register it thinking it would be good, then came the 14 day delay after their much anticipated october 'deadline'... now im beginning to think i wasted my money on vaporware, i shall wait and see but for now i think their 'news' and 'release' are very very lacking...

as for emulating starforce, didnt the old daemon tools do the same with ide drives disconnected?

yes very disappointing for a program thats been in development for so long. Hopefully the pro version will be somewhat better if it ever gets released takes that team years just to put one change in

So what in the world did they change in this release...It seems like 3.47 with some blacklisting fixes.

On the official site they say that DT4 works if no IDE Drive is connected or IDE-NODES are disabled. I wonder if disabling nodes via SFNightmare and then mounting game images onto DT4 virtual device will finally work with SF protected games. Does anyone have tried this way??? If it works without phisically unplugging drives, it would be a great thing anyway....

Yes i was able to get trackmania sunrise and splintercell chaos theory to work. I was also able to get fear ver 1.2 to work without the original disk in the drive. I made sure all emulation options were on in daemond tools 4 then disabled drives and rebooted. Game loaded no prob without disk.

Favaro I'm happy for ya but I'd like to know if you need to uninstall alcohol or daemon tools prevents also alcohol's virtual device from blacklisting.
Oh, just one thing:are we sure that the problem is make sf games backup work? I think the REAL problem is that SF virus installs silently and damages hardware and software, so I would be satisfied if there were a possibility to play WITHOUT installing SF drivers. Bypassing the protection is not a good solution , if the protection itself is dangerous for the system. For me, the only way to go is to keep boycotting sf games, even if we are now able to play some of them from backups.
