And Grumpy's answer also remains valid. Try it yourself and you'll see...

Shall I explain it real slow like.....

I...don't...own...any...games...that...use...starf orce...3.7...so...how...can...I... try...for...myself...

I was simply asking if anyone had tried it. Someone who owns a sf3.7 game. I don't.

If no one knows than fine.

Sheesh...ask a simple question...

@ziph
Haven't tried myself, but as in demos the drivers usually are integrated, you may try the Stalin subway demo:
e.g. http://www.stalinsubway.de/html/download.html

Is this guide useful and informative enough to be added to our forum FAQ?

Can't judge it, yet. At least it's very easy. Will do some further testing whether that start value '500' can be used for more (most?) titles.

Vietcong 2 working, too.
Also tested motoGP 3 (CD): working, but 95MB compressed, and like caki mentioned: not so useful anyway.

@caki
Made some tests with NFSMW; 1100096 sectors, last sector that must be in image is 902160. Before that there are four single sectors and two longer ranges (+ the stuff i missed), so leaving the last 1000 sectors isn't enough, at least for this title; you need Bushound for DVD's, too. Got it to 2,2MB compressed, of course i missed some gaps but they're really not worth it.

Is it possible that this method is working for starforce 3.6 also?Can you explain how to understand which sectors are important and which can be removed from the full backup image to make maxi image.
