I haven't tested with starforce 4 game on vista beta 2 because i don't have such game at the moment but i made some tests with Rise and Fall CaW which uses starforce 3.16.7 (not basic) and got some interesting results.My MB has nforce 4 chipset and my HDDs are sata so the optical drives are alone on the ide controller.Under windows XP SP2 i couldn't run the game with mounted image.My image is good , i also tried to unplug my drives , updated the sptd driver to 1.25 but no luck.Then i tried with vista beta 2.Installed daemon tools 4.03 with sptd 1.25 , mounted the same image that i used under xp with no luck and the game started.NO need to disconnect or disable optical drives or hide them any other way.Just mounted the full image and game worked.So i guess taht starforce 4 will also work under vista beta 2 with mounted full image.

I tried the proposed solution using a usb dvd drive. I bought an usb2ide adapter (google for ADU2IDE-N133), which was just cheap (with usb cable ~15 euro) and some blank dvds (TDK DVD-RW). Burned my image using blindwrite and everything works simply perfect. In addition, I will now be able to hot (un)plug my dvd and I dont have any ide drives connected.

Same procedure works for Rush for Berlin.

Thanks a lot for the tip

What do you mean with the full image ?
I have downloaden a blindwrite image which contains 4 files, and i can mount one of them.

Did you make a new image yourself, and how did you do it (what program did u use) ?

I also have Vista beta 2 with deamon 4.03 and the 125 driver, but i can't get it to work (and also have sata-hdds)

How big is the image you've downloaded? If it's several hundred megabytes or a few Gigabytes then it's what we call a "full image".

This is not just an ordinary version 4 of Starforce, this is Starforce frontline 4. It has been created with the help of piracy teams that have cracked previous versions of starforce. No attempt to bypass this protection software with any current emulator or burning program will work, (with the execption of the Blindwrite method). in the rumor mill there is word of a "NO-CD-EXE" for "Hard Truck Apocalypse" created by Reloaded, it is said that it also uses the same version of starforce. But also there is word of the next daemon tools release being able to work with this new starforce, lets hope that is true and that Reloaded will be able to utilise this future daemons tools for our convenience.

I have another way to play.
You have to create a Mini Image
Connect a Digital Camera in your computer with a usb handle
Put the mini image in a Digital Camera
Emulate and play

The problem is create a Mini Image(mds)
