The best way to play SC:CT is still to have a legit purchased copy. I haven't tried it yet, since I always wait until there are a no-cd/dvd crack before I buy a game, but in this case, I have ordered it anyways knowing that I will have to use the disc. Someday, there might be a convenient way to play it without the DVD, but as of now - there isn't. And that's too bad.

I find it strange that no one have figured out a simple way to bypass this protection yet. There are many good crackgroups out there. This protection really must be a b*tch. Oh well.

Its nearly 2006 and "the best way to play games" aint with a disk in rom tray, i have 300gig HDD so i can have a lot of games installed and i dont want to hunt for and swap media all the time, i got my copy of SC-CT for £20 in pcworld as it was sold of cheap as it didnt shift at new because nobody wanted starforce crap on their pc's. (im suprised most n00bs knew this ).

Unreal 2004 etc etc all patched games after release to fix bugs and remove need for disk to be in roms, some other big game did same in last 2 weeks but i cant remember lol.

Have you tryed the steps i take (1 to 5 as i mention in my thread start)
Because i believe that most of you don`t really read the post`s but just reply on the last post reply.

Is there anyone that can confirm the way i play the games,that this work also for anyone else.
i have tryed it with scct,kingkong and prince of percia T2T these are all games with at least 50 threads and more then a hundred reply`s.

For me it works great ,
but as Muyfa666 says (Someday, there might be a convenient way to play it without the DVD, but as of now - there isn't. And that's too bad.)
My question to you is did you already tryed it?? because if you have you know that there is a way to play these games without a disc.

Why would i want to reread your post, its overkill, i dont need to do anywhere near that to play SC-CT, ive been playing it without my disk since Daemon Tools 4 came out, "you cant teach your granny to suck eggs"

In a few mins im going to go load up the game to see exactly how little i need do to run it, opening up case and unplugging drives is a absolute NO GO for me, id rather do without and play with the disk or not play at all.

@NetAngel: If I may mention it, it's a bit funny to see you say "have you actually read my post?" to others when you haven't answered the question, I asked you in the second post of this thread, either...

EDIT:

Ok im back,

1) Loaded up SC-CT's .mds in Daemon Tools 4 (all emulations are on not sure if needed but i leave on by default anyhow)

2) Went in Device Manager and dissabled the complete Nvidia ATA(EIDE) Controler (no reboot needed)

3) Clicked shortcut to game and played it.

This is what I need to do to play this game so i dont really need to do a raindance to get it to run.

NetAngel: If you read my post, you'd see that I do NOT own the game yet. I had friends who tried all kinds of "solutions", so that made me wait with my purchase. And as far as I read until now, the available solutions do not work for everybody. For some they work, for others not. And it's still easier to insert the DVD than to unplug IDE-cables or disable them in system manger.

Please, explain why steps #3 and #4 are necessary; have you checked that the games won't work without these? Thanks!

Can I ask, from where did you get the .mds/mdf mini -image?

Have tried everything else but still have not been able to get game(King Kong) to run.

While we're on the topic of Starforce, can anyone tell me...

Are there any Starforce protected games for which no one has been able to make a no cd fix? (Other than quite recent ones, PoP:TTT, King Kong, UFO:Aftershock etc.)

I know it's easy enough (usually ) to get them running from an image, but creating a mini-image seems to be another matter entirely...
