Rise And Fall: CaW - Starforce 3.7

[Morglum007]

When i could get a 4.0 SF protected title here in Spain, or when some companions give me little info about, i will reply in conditions, sorry.

By now, i havent a clear reply. An ADIP hider tool must be coded.

TIP: Bet on soldier - Blood in Sahara is fully burnable with Infodisc media (Memorex DVD+RW)

This is fuckin rude,

I installed this a while back, and recently i have been having massive problems with my system for no real reason. If i fired up a game, the screen would shift in res and freeze. No task manager, no options. As bad a blue screen of death.

After checking pretty much every running process it came to the attention my winlogon icon had changed to that very much the same as "install/remove protection drivers" found in the midway group section under my start menu.

After removing them all my problems ceased to exsist.

I have to admit, im a big fan of the No-CD due to the fact i never look after my games. I was offended that SF was installed in the first place, basically calling me a thief for buying the product, but i didnt know it could go as far as creating a plathora of issues where the last place you expect to find them is on a GAME you PURCHASED.

I did what any person with any kind of pride should do, i took the enjoyment from the purchase by covering the item in magnesium ribbon and watching through sunglasses as it bubbled.

I will purchase a game from Midway again one day, however im going to hold off a bit until im dead

This games pish anyways lads.

There is an working solution for Starforce protected games :
We have tested it with nearly 10 SF Games and different SF versions, also with some burners. Tested with "low budget" burners aka "Speer" and on the other hand with Plextor 716, 750, 755, everytimes successfull.

Buy VSO´s Blindwrite 6.00.6 or newer. Read the SF infected Game by default settings. After, take an - important - rewritetable Medium, we try Sony, TDK and Platinium, and burn the b6 image with 4x. You can play the game as original. Only the SF-Dectection time took a little bit longer. In 2 cases we are able to speed up this procedure by activating "CloneCD Tray" to hid media.
May this solution works not 100% with every possible combinations between Hard/Software installed, or with the millions of PC-Systems, but give them a try. May somebody will open a bottle of champagne...

Good luck and remember : Before burning buy your software.

Forget : Don´t use an "normal" media, you will get nice coasters. Works ONLY with ReWritetable media

Why this ?

[Morglum007]

The ez-play Blindwrite's feature seems to be working with latest SF (4.0) available in Micromachines for example. In this case, AnnonyRu is correct.

The CloneCD hide media option is so interesting, we didnt notice that, and will test, thanks.

Respecting the only only rewritable afirmation, well, dont know why u say that, many people reports success in just +R media, but u get some risk doing so, unless u were completelly sure it will work... Anyway, i live in a free and democratic country, so, if u want to do so, do iT!

Sorry, i don´t know. We tryed it with different medias, no one works. Nevertheless, we test both ,-r /+r ; no success. Seems, the miracle is in the Atip sector. Otherwise we´re not the programmers from Blindwrite/ Starshit ,so don´t blow up your head for the "why". The only important thing is, you may have a chance to safe your original game and play it with an copy. RW media is also cheap, isn´t it ?

In this case i fully agree with you. The problem is in the ADIP check (DVD+R/RW). ATIP check is only done in DVD-R/RW). Thats what Ez-play seems to hide to SF. The driver is like the slysoft AnyDVD one, filtering some data. Because i havent seen an ADIP hider yet, seems Blindwrite is the first one i have seen. Even plextools fails in hiding ADIP. I think someone should code such a tool to do it in order to execute SF clone copies without third paying programs.

- Maybe you've read i've tested BW6 copies on DVD+RW before those "nfo's" appeared (but on RAID without success ), so i know they're cheap

- If available try DVD+R DAXON AZ2

I made a little research.I tried to put the image of a cd game protected with starforce 3.7.16 ( Rise and fall ) on a flash memory and mount it but still no luck.I don't have the opportunity to unplug my drives though to test with image on flash and unplugged drives.If someone can test please report.

[Johny Cage]

Will There be a crack or is it to hard to crack im hoping provision will pull thru

[neptun]

I also confirm that using windows vista beta 2 and daemon tools 4.03 with SPTD driver 1.25 starorce 3.7.16 used in rise and fall CaW can be bypassed.Interestin enough i even did not need to unplug or disable my IDE drives.The chipset of my MB is nforce4.
