Copy every StarForce 3 Game, no cracks are required

[karlmueller]

This is not a Fake, it really works I have tried it with Silent Hunter 3 v1.1 and DTM Race Driver 2 DVD 1.2 both backups works like the original.

1. Install the newest Version of Alcohol 120% (1.9.5 2722)

2. You will need a exact DPM of the original DVD / CD in order to get this you have to uninstall the StarForce 3 drivers and do a reboot. After doing this you have to make an image of the original disc with DPM use precision "High" and Speed 1x for the DPM - don't do anything other at the PC while Alcohol 120% gets the DPM. Alternatively you can make an image without DPM and afterward replace your .MDS with one working from the Internet, in this case no uninstalling of the StarForce 3 drivers is required.

Here are two .MDS files I made, they are working perfectly:

DTM Race Driver 2 European DVD:

Silent Hunter 3 EMEA DVD:

3. Burn a CD/DVD using Alcohol 120% and activate the option "Write RMPS to the media"

4. Activate the RMPS Emulation function of Alcohol 120% or DT

5. Disable all IDE CD/DVD Rom devices and insert your backup into a USB 2.0 CD/DVD drive, it will work like the original disc

If you don't have a USB 2.0 drive or if you don't want to disable your IDE drive the best solution is to use such coverters (http://www.bbt-shop.de/index.php?mod...uery=usb%20ide) to connect all your IDE CD/DVD drives through USB 2.0 so you can run you SF 3 backup from all your drives without disableing IDE drives.

This is the only working solution at the moment, if this is to expensive / complex in your oppinion you have to play with your original discs and wait for another solution.

Have Fun!!!

For your information: Starforce Nightmare and Starf*cker wont work on Starforce version 3.4.070 and up. You cant use the mini-image trick or mount the full image. The description given by karlmueller is the only way to get the new Starforce versions working at this moment.

@ qwertyqwerty. Your 1st post here and your going tooth "n" nail at munsterbuster. GO GO GO.
While i havent tried karlmueller's suggestion he/she seem's to have done their home-work and has been a member here @ file-forums for a while, so i belive its true what was posted. However

This is the only working solution at the moment

Im unsure of that but i have made a note of what was suggested for SF3 and will give it a try when the time is needed. So i thank you in advance karlmueller in case it works for me aswell

I forgot to ask this : why is it so important to use USB2.0 drive instead of an IDE one with
the image burned with RPMS emulation ?

Thx

This has to do with the limitation of starforce..

I have 2 CD/DVD Drivers..


1 is a USB 2.0 CDRW Drive and 1 is an IDE DVD-R/RW drive..


if you have an IDE drive starforce requires you to use that drive, there is something with the way the starforce drivers work if there is an IDE drive..

for example..

i am unable to play SHOWW2 with the disk inserted into the USB Drive..

i emailed starforce about this and they instructed me that it has to be in the IDE drive if you have one..

it appears that if there are no IDE drives that starforce's protection is not as "aggressive", the reason why you could use disk images and what not if all your IDE driver are disabled and unplugged..

What do we do about downloaded software, legal stuff I mean. I bought Lock On Flaming Cliffs and it has SF. I found that I can't copy some music CD's and even some LOMAC DVD's I made of user made movies.

Why would SF disable your drives when the download itself is an executable? You register it w/your serial number and you get a certain number of installs. Also, Flaming Cliffs is not available here in the west on CD.

As said before, if you get so many installs then that is what you paid for.

Read my post again. I wanna know how to bypass SF so I can use my drives again. They were disabled by SF for the Flaming Cliffs download.

I see you focused on the last part of my post and couldn't remember the important part, the first part.
