Toca Race drive 3

[mighty_mEx]

unplugged ide devices with virtuadrive pro 10 ... reboot...
I can't run the installation with the original alcoohol image file... it says
"Can't mount the image. Invalid image file.
However... I changed the .mds and it mounts on, and it loads... but I can't install... the only way to install is directly from dvd rom and than with virtua drive 10 disabling ide devices.. but when comes the time to play it says to insert a toca race driver 3 keyless disc...

VD 10 Trick does not only work on Nforce 3/4 Mobos.
I´ve tested it on two nforce 2 systems where all other software-hiders failed to run starforce games.
(BTW.: Don´t know if nowadays starforces detect VD 10. V3.6 of starforce didn´t)

But I had serious other problems with VD 10 (Blue-Screens, it fails to detect its own virtual drives as virtuals, and the overall performance of my system became unstable.)

Coz´ I had only the trial license, I wasn´t to disappointed. De-Installed the app and everything works fine again.

Grx.

As far as i know: VD 10 does nothing else than disabling your ide devices the same way you can do by yourself, using the windows device manager ...

I can't judge by my own experiences - cause i don't have an nforce board. But everyone i heard saying, getting a starforce protected game to work by using daemon tools 4, an alcohol image and VD 10, had an nforce board. You can read it on fileforums and on daemon tools own forum. It seems to work on every nforce 3 & 4 board and some nforce 2 users wrote, that it worked for them too. But it also worked for all of them, disabling their ide channels on the device manager instead of using virtual drive. And no user of intel, via or sis boards could get it to work with VD 10 .

So: it's definitely the nforce chipset - but i guess this "leak" will be gone with the next starforce version ...

Use a mini image instead and it should work (but you still have to unplug).

the mini-image available in gamecopyworld made by hell-hunter?

that mini-image didn't work on my toca3...why should it work now with the patch 1.1?

As funny as it sounds, but the mini-image works for 1.1, but not for 1.0
