Copy every StarForce 3 Game, no cracks are required

[billos]

Hi,

Almost the same for me.

After running "sfclean.exe" , i was able to extract DPM info with my NEC3520-A DVD RW(precision high + 1x speed)

Then i've burn it , pysically disabled all my IDE drives, set disable node with sfnightmare , put the NEC3520-A on an external 5 1/4 USB2.0 adapter with RPMS emulation on with alcohol but
it doesn't work

The authentification process starts, hangs 1/2 minutes and finally gives an error

Can somebody help pleaaassse .

Thx

It is not normal that the DPM process takes more than an hour to complete. Wich game have you tried to backup?

The StarForce 3 version included in Splinter Cell 3 uses a new method to prevent DPM reading. You can now only make a working DPM on a computer on wich no StarForce 3 drives were ever installed.

This method is working for me with the following games:

DTM Race Driver 2 (European-Version)

Splinter Cell Chaos Theory (European-Version)

Silent Hunter 3 (European-Version)

If you want to make a backup of one of those games, use my .MDS. You can even use my .MDS with the US version you only need to swap the US StaForce Key with the Europe StarForce Key. I would be happy to send you the european keys via PM.

Have Fun!!!

Hello Karlmueller,

All these informations concern Splinter Cell Chaos Theory

Thanks for all your informations : i've leached an mds file from
the following site (www.copybase.ch) and i've followed all your
instructions (especially setting my new burn DVD in an external USB 2.0
box) and this woooorks !!

But something is scaring me : even if i use "sfclean.exe" tool (to remove
starforce drivers) , my DPM extractions can finish but are not good anymore.
It's very annoying., especially for the next securom or starforce game i'll
next want to backup

Is there a solution to remove this starforce virus (for DPM extraction) ?

Thx again.

billios, you got PM.

I have the same problem my drives make DPM with Blindwrite, but in Alcohol it seemsto be random, if it read's it or not.
Maybe the new ALcohol is still buggy?

Blindwrite has a unique way it does things, it reads the topography of a disc with a fine toothbrush (metaphorically ofcourse) and dumps it, but does it like the old fashioned amiga nibble process, it will do each part of the cd bit by bit rather attempting to read whole tracks at once.

Alcohol is different, and tries the tracks at once which sometimes works other times doesnt.

Thx to karmueller, I was able to try to backup my US copy of SCCT with a European mds.

Well, thx karlmueller, but it still didnt' work for me. I still get the msg in My Computer saying that 'Emulation is needed.' This is despite me burning a disc with speeds of 2.4x with RMPS and later on, turning on the RMPS emulation on through A120%. I tried it with both v1.9.5.2722 and v1.9.5.2802.

So, i gave up finally and returned the USB2.0 enclosure I had bought.

Playing with the original DVD sucks. i hope hoodlum or reloaded or vengeance hurrys up and releases a no-dvd.

[mastergamer]

yes

I've tried this with Silent Hunter III EMEA version and have to say it doesn't work yet. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Is anyone working on a noCD/DVD for Silent Hunter III 1.2?

[!HaGaR!]

Dongle-Project:

Software: Splinter Cell 3 - Chaos Theory (European Multi-Language Version)
.mds-file createt by Karlmueller (thx, man!)
Alcohol 120%, latest release, as trial
Star*uck V.083beta

Hardware: NoName USB 2.0 IDE Adapter (no manufacturer on box mentioned)
Lite-On LTD163 DVD-ROM
Medion DVD+RW

Created an image as "normal data dvd" under use of alcohol.
Burned it under use of the "rmps"-switch (.mds-file by Karlmueller).
Installed the game via USB-connected Drive.
Patched Blacklist & deactivated my internal ide-drives under use of
Star*uck V0.83 beta.

Doubleclicked SC3-Icon (after rebooting because of installed starforce-driver), hacked in my ORIGINAL and UNIQUE key... starforce disc check intitiated... and - yep - succesful!

Thx 2 Karlmueller. Let´s how long this work-around will work around ;-D

I gues the starforce-crew is right behind it...

Grx
!HaGar!

I play Lock On Modern Aircombat. There is a expansion that jsut came out for it called Flaming Cliffs and uses Starforce 3. Can you fix that so i can make backup?

i dont think its true you have to have only USB.

i have 2 sata drives in a raid 0 config and usually 2 ide devices (cdrom and cdrw) if i disconnect the ide cable to those devices i can run toca 2 with no probs.

can someone tell me if the starforce for SCCT will work the same way? i mean on sata drives?

thanks
