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'!!

@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)

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.

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

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?

@fastMB
If you have the Starforce drivers installed then you wont be able to read the DPM. You need to uninstall Starforce.
What sort (brand) burner do you have?

something is not right, i think i'm doing something wrong. i downloaded diranar's .mds file and i have renamed it like my .mdf file. i uninstalled pop3:t2t, used sfclean to uninstall starforce and i also used jv16 PowerTools to clean the windows registry of all starforce entries. i disabled the DVD and CD drive with sf nightmare and mounted diranar's mds on daemon tools 4. i installed the game, reeboted the computer and entered the cd-key and i still get the error message. i also tried with starf*ck, but it didn't help. can anyone please help me and tell me what am i doing wrong? thank you

P.S. sorry for the bad english

Hiya guys,
I've turned here for support after Ubisoft didn't want to help:
Is there any way to disable the wretched system check app when loading POP? - My laptop has an unsupported card, and so I have to OK my way through this rubbish each time I want to play, & its getting more than annoying. (You can no longer directly launch the POP3.exe file unlike with previous versions)

I have the game running perfectly from a full image & MDS file using DT4 with no CD drives physically present in the system.

Cheers
