Prince Of Persia - The Two Thrones

If I disconnect all my IDE drives, then how am I supposed to have the disc available for when the game checks if the DVD is present?

Personally, I'm just going to wait until a crack can be worked out. I don't want Starforce on my laptop whatsoever, and I certainly don't want to have to disconnect drives just to play this game. The entire point to nocd/nodvd methods is that I don't want to go through this sort of effort to play installed games, I may as well carry around the bloody disc in that case.

Hi. I dont think that there will be another way to workaround the copy protection of starforce than to unplug the drives. (Not yet)
I mean that you will maybe wait forever?
You must make a MDF/MDS file with alcohol and then you must mount these with deanmon tools 4. so it simulates a drive.
Maybe that is the answer to the question.
If you do not want to do all of this you can use the original disc. Its your choice.

None of the current theories work, I've tried them all. I disabled my IDE options through the device manager, I've tried every anti-Starforce program out there including Nightmare, and absolutely nothing works.

The game files are going to need to be patched to remove the DVD check and Starforce elements. There is just no other way to run this game.

No, that is not true.
Of course, your MDF/MDS Files must be good.
If your DVD Drive is not supported by Alcohol 120% you can find a good MDS File on a german homepage in the internet. There is one (i know it).
But there is no way to work the game without unplugging the drives. Is is not enough only to disable them with a tool or thrugh the device manager.
It sound strange but thats the fact.

Hmm. I know that my mdf/mds are good, I made certain to rule out that possibility before anything else.

I'm not certain how I could physically disconnect the drive (and if anybody would care to explain the specifics regarding why this makes any difference, I would be interested in knowing) considering that I'm using a laptop. I really don't want to start taking apart my beautiful Alienware just to play some game with a damned protection system.

Supposedly, you must disconnect all optical drives. I have yet to verify this since I'm using a laptop.
