New way to defeat starforce 3.6

[neptun]

Very strange.For me personally and a friend of mine it is working for POP T2T and X3 Reunion when IDE controller is disabled.When i tried to use alcohol 120% virtual device the starforce freezes when checking disk.With daemon tools 4 and all emulation options on it is working.About restarting when checking disk this is not a single case as i know.It sometimes happens even if optical drives are unplugged.I hoped that the SATA trick will work for more people but it looks like i am wrong.Maybe it works only with nforce 4 chipsets.I don't know what to think.

Edit: For me it is working with or without RAID array in the system.I have tested it.

I made a little research and a few experiments for the problem with PC freezing or rebooting during disk verification of starforce.Often this is caused by emulations and virtual device of alcohol 120%.To fix this it is needed first to uncheck all things in Emulation and Extra emulation in File->options menu of alcohol 120% and second disable the alcohol 120% virtual device by setting Number of virtual devices ( File -> options->Virtual device ) to 0.There is no need to uninstall alcohol 120% completely.

hi

ive maked the image of POP T2T in ALCOHOL with a DPM high
uninstalled the alcohol completely
emulated the mds in d-tools 4.0.3
set all options on
uninstaled all drivers of starforce in device manager
and the game keep freezing in CHECK DISK

maybe i have to uninstall the IDE CONTROLER too?

thx for all

It looks like this trick with disabling of ide controller works only if you have nforce3 or nforce4 chipset motherboard.If not the only way that works 100% is to physically unplug your optical drives.

i can't disable my IDE controllers. i can only Uninstall them. I don't want to do that.

you can uninstall starforce drivers from your command prompt...
Just open amir.exe in command prompt and a screen will come up that tells its usage. i cant tell exactly what is says because i have removed POP:t2t from my computer some time ago.. and im not going to install it aggain until there is 100% working way to start it without pluging out cables from optical drives every time i want to play...

These are mine ide\atapi controlers.. my primary hd is on SATA.. and second Hd is on Ide... and i have 3 ide optical dirives.. so does any one have a solution with disabling controlers.. i can disable everything except 1st ultra ata storage controllers and 2nd Primary ide channel


Can any one confirm that thing with disabling starforce drivers from device manager when chosing show hidden devices.. does that work??

And i was just wondering... is there a way to replace new starforce with the one what was working with StarForce Nightmare?? (etc.. replace starforce from POP:t2t with the one from SplinterCell, and play POP?!)
take care all
