You need to rename the file to the same name as your image and then replace your old .mds with this one (Make a save somewhere first, just for the case.

And the CFG which one talks about(Way to make a Copy behave like a original), this works only for CD-Versions

what programm did you use to make this image? i used alc120 and blindwrite to make an image of my original dvd but both didnt work! have used the wrong settigs?what settings did you use?

In Alcohol 120%, you can select the copy protection for which reading/writing is "optimized". To find out the copy protection, use ProtectionID. See more infos in the FAQ.

Don't forget it is not possible to choose the protection type when creating an image of a 'DVD'.

Maybe a bit off-topic but I've just registered and I can't download the attachement from Diranar. Althoguh I'm looged-in when I click the attachment icon it takes me to the log-in page. Can someone enlighten me?

[Joe Forster/STA]

Yeah, it is off-topic, that's what the "GameCopyWorld Support" forum is for. By the way, I think all you need is to enable cookies (for that site).

[quimico]

It wasn't the cookies but now is working, this vBulletin systems sometimes need a bit of time, that's all. By the way, the mds file doesn't work

Are you using it with the .mdf from the EU DVD?

'Cause I don't think it'll work on its own...

@fastMB

i've used the starforce 3 settings of alcohol120% to make an image of my pop t2t dvd!

Well this just isnt possible!! You CAN NOT choose a Protection (Data Type) when creating an image of a 'DVD'!!

[fastMB]

@Grumpy


ok it isn't possible with alcohol120%! but there have to be a programm who is possible to do that. because Diranar made a wonderfull working image of pop t2t!is there any trick or is it just magic?

Hello, first i have to say that not every DVD Drive out there is capable of making a 100% RMPS/DPM Reading. A Source for .mds i will post at the end of this liuitle Desciption

I Have 2 Drives :
1x DVD Burner Benq DW1620 - is NOT able to read DPM
1x DVD ROM Teac DV???? - This Drives makes 100% DPM's

So if i want to make a Starforce Copy, i Put the Dvd in my Teac Drive and start up Alcohol 120%- Last Version out.

Since if you want to make a DVD Copy and select the Image Creating Wizard, there will be no Copy Profiles. We don't need them.

1. Simply check both Boxes : Read errors and Rmps reading(The Reading speed is not important now). Then click next/ok.

2. Alcohol will ask for RMPS/DPM Speed : This depends on the Drive used, both most people get best results on low Speed, i always use "4x".

Thats all, if you have a Drive thats not capable of reading the DPM Data, you'll get the error "DPM Creation not possible" , i would first try some other DPM reading speed.

If you need a .mds , because your Drive is not able too, go here :

http://www.copybase.ch/Cb/PHPV2/index.php

Its a German Site, so Scroll all the way down to the big Box with the Title :"
Copybase // Kopierschutz-Datenbank // Suchformular "

There is a Box in which is written "Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory", here you type in the Name of the Game , which you need a .mds for
then click on "Finden!".
You'll get a list of the search, then click on the Game Name you need and most right and above is a Green "DPM-Dateien(Number)", click there and Download the file you need.
(The Site has Problems now, try it in some Days)

@fastMB

ok it isn't possible with alcohol120%!

What I actually meant is it is not possible to choose a Data Type when backing up a DVD with Alcohol but it is still possible to create an image of a DVD using Alcohol.

[fastMB]

THANX Diranar for this guide!i'll try out if it works with my drive!

[Joe Forster/STA]

And, as far as I understand from posts on this forum, you'd better use Blindwrite for reading/writing copy protected CD's/DVD's, instead of Alcohol 120%.

so i tryied out but my drive isn't able to read DPM!
in fact of this i douwnloaded a mds file from copybase(no more problems with this side) and replaced my original mds file with the one i've douwnloaded!so far so good!but when i want to mount the image with daemon4 it epears:invalid image file!
did i something wrong or could it be that all tree mds files from copybase aren't working?
