Have you actually tried putting your hand in your pocket, to get some cash, then going to the game store to purchase the game legally!!!!

Bye Bye your are now banned for a month! This should give you enough time to purchase the game, legally!!

Hi.

I too think that people must pay for their games, because i do it, but why cant we make a backup of our bought games so we can protect the original CD?

This seems to be the problem for example of Toca Race Driver 3...

Well if it was up to me I would say "yeh sure go ahead"

But unfortunately for you it is not up to me!
Complain to the game publishers, even better just boycott all games protected with starforce.

use a usb caddy or what i use is a hard drive caddy,cheaper, dismantle it and connect the internals to your cd/dvd drive run the usb lead outside your box and u can connect it at will, not been beaten yet.

When having a nForce/ULi based MoBo SFNightmare also works for SF 3.5+
I'd prefer SFNightmare, it's free and has no installer. What chipset do you have ? Also nForce or ULi ?

Virtual Drive Pro 10 actually works and get's around the starforce crap protection! Cheers buddy you've my gameplay interesting again.

Next one, same question: What chipset does your MoBo have ?

I am sure this must have been the first step taken for killing SF but then .. For me anyway.. i simply had to disable the drives from windows device manager. Game started and worked. - Tested game : Cold War

@satanWest: And the chipset on your motherboard is?

hi guys(or hackers) . I have colin mcrae rally 2005. It also uses starforce protection. I was thinking that is it necessary to mess around with CD/DVD drives etc. Can i override starforce by simply doing some modifications to "protection.dll" in the game directory. is there no way out other than cloaking my CD/DVD drive.

[TippeX]

yup u could modify protect.dll if you were (1) skilled, (2) lucky, course then you also have the drivers to modify too, considering the cdcheck is done by the drivers (ring 0)..

@innocent rookie
Or you could just use the Colin McRae Rally 2005 v1.0 [ALL] Fixed EXE available here.
