Alcohol120% cannot extract DPM

[tarzan_gk]

I don't know what's happen with my alcohol. I can't extract DPM from my CD/DVD. I have DVD-RW Pioneer DVR-110. Is it because of alcohol or my burner? coz I've tried with other CDs and my old burner Lite-On 1653S and I got same result.

Extraction can start but it suddenly stops. I got 1 KB for .mds file and when I try to mount it with Daemon, it says "Invalid Image"

What should I do? any guys who more expert than me can help? Thanks!

hmmm, do you have Starforce protected games on your PC?

[tarzan_gk]

yes for Peter Jackson's King Kong

should i uninstall or remove it first?

Sometimes I wonder if DPM extraction ever works, have tried it myself using numerous different devices. None have worked.

I dont and wont install any Starforce protected games anymore! I never had any problems with DPM extraction untill I installed a Starforce protected game! I have not installed a Starforce game for a long time now so I cant really say if the newer Starforce is what is causing your problems but its seriously worth considering as I doubt the protection has been changed for the users advantage!

@Grumpy
Really? what the ....
But I've bought King Kong and there's no crack or image for it. Should I throw it away?

I found the solution, I extract DPM using Blindwrite, then I convert .bwa to .mds and replace the invalid .mds. It works!!!
