I did everything that was written in the instructions. Exactly step by step. On MY comp, it worked perfectly.

Actually, what instruction did you use? where did you get it? does it use sfnightmare? can you explain it?

I also have this game, but i prefer play with my cd than unplug my drive everytime i want to play.

It's the file from gamecopyworld.com...but since I can't get it to work, I guess I have to use the cd, too. I'm one of those guys who uses a crack for every game that is installed to avoid those annoying cd-changes when one wants to play a different game. *sigh*

This game was sold very buged (BETA in my oppinion),
There's a 1.3 Patch out that makes the game run smoother,
if you have less than 1 Gigabyte of Ram, you should upgrade it, cause this game never runs Smooth with 512 MB(I have tried that and it wasn't funny at all...upgraded at christmas )

@Tyler

Could you maybe tell me what exactly you did to get the game to run (in your own words)? That would be great. I still couldn't get this game to work.

How i play my Starforce Games without CD/DVD in drive:

I first make a Copy of my Original with Alcohol (V1.95.3105) at low (4x)
DPM Read Speed. I Disable Alcohol's Virtual Drives.
(Then i use the "AdvancedMDSEditor" and check if the RMPS Data is right, you don't need to do this step)

!! Then i shut down my Computer, open it, pull the ide cable out of my DVD-
!! Burner and my IDE DVD-Rom, close it and start it again.

I mount the Image of the Starforce-Game with Daemon Tools V4 and
install the Game from the Virtual-Daemon-Drive.

Now i restart the PC (Starforce wants to)...and back again in windows i
mount the image again in Daemon V4

Then i click on the Desktop Icon and Play it...

That is all, no tricks at all. Pure Cable Pulling Power !!!

Happy new year..
