Firts about burning, I dont have those kind of cd's, I have of other companies.
Second, I succeed run the game. All I was need to do is unpluged all my cd/dvd roms from power. i tried just to disable them but it didnt work.

That's fine. But because all starforce protected games are playable by using a good image, DT 4.03 and by unplugging your optical ide drives my question on you is the following: what does this patch change for you ?

[AlonR]

Didnt know it..

BTW if i dont have one of the medias type from the option in the patch, i cant burn it on other type ?

With a proper cfg for sfcopy you can. Does your key start with "R" ? If yes, i'll post a short how to.

Yes it is.

Is there any simple way of playing it without unpluging Optical Drives ?

btw... there are instructions for the patch - written by the creators of the patch:

Patching the image:

• Unpack the mir-pjkkpt.rar in the rar you will find the tool.
• Open the tool make sure you put it in the same directory as the image or just click browse to look for it.
• Look what mediatype you like to use and select it from the dropdownbox.
• Now click patchme and it will state patching in progress please wait!!
• Due to a small bug it will not tell you when the image is done just check the directory (it uses the same directory as the old one but is called PATCHED).
  The bug will be fixed in the next version it will then say patching done and maybe we even use a progress bar
  futuremusic like tools for dvd raw dao and tages 1:1.
• now go to the next step

After the patching steps burning :

• Once the tool made the patched image open up Alcohol 120% v195 Build 3105
• Click Image Burning Wizard and browse to the PATCHED image.
  you will go to new screen.
• Select here with datatype SECUROM *NEW* not SECUROM NEW 4/5!!
  on write method raw dao needs to be selected now make sure the options \"rectify subchannel data\" and \"burn rmps to recordable media\" are both unticked.
• Now hit start It will ask about the TOC select the first option (leave toc unmodified)
• burn disk 2/3 with your favourite tool they are not protected.

After burning :
Install the game from the other disks and run it from a reader.

WARNING 1: Do only burn to the media you selected in the tool else it will surely fail.
WARNING 2: If you get verification failed during load and it asks for the serial your copy failed.
WARNING 3: Allthough this will improve the availablity of sfclonecds we can not guarantee it will work for every disk you burn SF stays wierd and even the same media will fail sometimes with a different batch
WARNING 4: You still need a DVDROM OR CDROM to run the image or offcourse a plextor with plextools pro
