unplugged ide devices with virtuadrive pro 10 ... reboot...
I can't run the installation with the original alcoohol image file... it says
"Can't mount the image. Invalid image file.
However... I changed the .mds and it mounts on, and it loads... but I can't install... the only way to install is directly from dvd rom and than with virtua drive 10 disabling ide devices.. but when comes the time to play it says to insert a toca race driver 3 keyless disc...

VD 10 Trick does not only work on Nforce 3/4 Mobos.
I´ve tested it on two nforce 2 systems where all other software-hiders failed to run starforce games.
(BTW.: Don´t know if nowadays starforces detect VD 10. V3.6 of starforce didn´t)

But I had serious other problems with VD 10 (Blue-Screens, it fails to detect its own virtual drives as virtuals, and the overall performance of my system became unstable.)

Coz´ I had only the trial license, I wasn´t to disappointed. De-Installed the app and everything works fine again.

Grx.

As far as i know: VD 10 does nothing else than disabling your ide devices the same way you can do by yourself, using the windows device manager ...

I can't judge by my own experiences - cause i don't have an nforce board. But everyone i heard saying, getting a starforce protected game to work by using daemon tools 4, an alcohol image and VD 10, had an nforce board. You can read it on fileforums and on daemon tools own forum. It seems to work on every nforce 3 & 4 board and some nforce 2 users wrote, that it worked for them too. But it also worked for all of them, disabling their ide channels on the device manager instead of using virtual drive. And no user of intel, via or sis boards could get it to work with VD 10 .

So: it's definitely the nforce chipset - but i guess this "leak" will be gone with the next starforce version ...

Use a mini image instead and it should work (but you still have to unplug).

that mini-image didn't work on my toca3...why should it work now with the patch 1.1?

As funny as it sounds, but the mini-image works for 1.1, but not for 1.0
(tested myself)

@Enjoy_&_Relax
1.0 - ISO check active
1.1 - no ISO check

If the GCW mini image doesn't work for you, just create your own with ISO Directory 0.5

1. Does the mini-image by Hell-hunteR work for version 1.1 without having to disconnect the IDE drives and without having to use any special Image Tools, or which Tool(s) is/are needed here?

2. Does it also work when mounting this image in Alcohol 120% or is DAEMON Tools 4.0.3 necessary for it?

3. Does this method only work with the english version of the game (TOCA Race Driver 3) or does it also work with the german version (DTM Race Driver 3) or is the game multilingual???

1,2-no,u have to mantain the cd/dvd drives unplugged and mount the mni-image with daemon tools.or u can mount with Alcohol
3- i think the method works with all versions


but anyone noticed that with patch 1.1 the game doesnt work nomore with the full-image?

well,im gonna try with the mini-image...if it doesnt work,i have to unninstal patch 1.1(install the game again )

The FoolProof-Way -> works for Everyone

- unplugged CD/DVD
- mounted image (depending on version) using Akcohol or DT4

v1.0 - Full-Image *only*
v1.1 - Mini-Image *only*

I still have both version installed simultaniously, because 1.0 can't play on 1.1 servers (and the other way around).
