it seems that in some cases there is no way to bypass this SF problem... I even reinstalled my windows to test this matter on a fresh install - the problem remains... I have nForce 3 motherboard, use DT 4.03... I've physicaly unpluged my DVD drive... I've tried different versions of sfcure, sfnightmare, starfuck, sd4hide and lot's of other programs... I followed different instructions from dozens of forums... nothing helps... the damn thing scans my image for several minutes and then states that my cdkey is wrong (allthough if I use the wrong one SF tells it right away)...

the only thing that I didn't try sofar is to shoot myself... that might help solve few other matters...

Your only problem is that your image is not good enough.If your device cannot backup SF3 correctly just download correct .mds file from www.copybase.ch and replace your .mds with the downloaded.Then just mount and play.

err... did I mention that I also tried to use different .mds files from multiple sources? I didn't?
well I did download three or four different .mds files (one of them was from that copybase.ch site you've mentioned, and btw that one didn't work with my .mdf file)... all the others with "correct topology" left me where I was - several minutes of SF thinking then same message about my CD key...

Did you activate all emulation options of daemon tools?

@Azagoth: You could try making your own full image yourself, from your original disk, with Blindwrite (preferably) or Alcohol 120%. See the FAQ subforum for a small guide about using Blindwrite. Good luck!

Thumbs up 100% Working!

Hi Dudes!

Listen:

Ive done a Image from my Original DVD with latest Alcohol 120%

Then Ive downloaded a perfect .mds (for DPM) from copybase.ch for the EURO Version ... think there should be the US Version also.

So I was able to play the Game with DT4 (with DVD unplugged)! Good but not great...

But now Ive burned the Game and loaded it with my USB-DVD-Drive (with DVD(IDE) unplugged) ... AND IT WORKS ... its like i have my original dvd in the drive!

Hope it works 4 ya! I think you must have a absolut perfect image ... so better make one by yourself with your original dvd and use a clean .mds!

Erm by the way, please sorry my bad english (is it so bad??) ... german boy

The same with GT Legends!!

-----
UPDATE:
YOU HAVE TO START IT FROM PrinceOfPersia.exe NOT FROM THE CD MENU... I DONT KNOW Y BUT ONLY SO IT WORKS!!!
