starforce workaround play scct and kingkong

[Anti669]

Can't speak for everyone, but I don't seem to need sd4hide.
Keep in mind, when using the device manager, that disabling the optical drive is not sufficient - you need to disable the IDE controller, and the drive will disappear.

To be honest I can't see why a Safedisc blocker would help much with Starforce games...

On a slightly related topic, it seems that sd4hide is no longer needed to run NFS:MW with the 1.3 patch.

Then i guess you are a pirate to, Because you can play the game with the original disc.
Or is it that you also want to keep the originals in good shape no scratches ect. on the disc.
For me thats the reason why i want to play the games without inserting the origanal disc`s .
simply calculating
1 game cost around 50 Euro,
1 harddisc of 200 GB cost around a 100 Euro,this is good enough for 40 game images. while 40 games cost around 2000 Euro
so for me its better to buy a new HD then buy the games again,if they are damaged.

As i said, i cant remember if i had to use sd4hide for SC CT as i aint played in weeks any games and its confusing trying to remeber settings for all.

No to dude above it dont mean i only use a mini .mds, i still need keep the .mdf i made in alcohol, just replace the .mds it made with 1 thats on web or game still detects not real disc (not sure why or if same for all)

Also i didnt try to just dissable the individual roms in device manager as i have used a SATA HDD(s) 2+ years i simply can afford to kill the whole EIDE controler.
