AntiStarforce Tool!!

edited by me on nov 29:

www.cdsteam.net - get the proggi there - it WORKS - i tested it with the fall: last days of gaia and a mini image created with MIR - perfectly. you just have to config it a bit, complicated if you are not german cause the readme is german.

[bierhuettl]

the documentation is only in german.

so the main thing is you dont have the system harddisk at the same ide cable like one of the atapi ide drives... i deactivated my drives over .bat files, which reactivate them after you click "ok", but you have to let the batch files open while playing, a message box says so. then a STAR****.exe tool patches your registry.

Well, I have to say it did not work for the first try with my image mounted in alcohol. the Starforce protection system checked the image for about a minute, then gave the error that the key on the disc is not correct. I will try it with daemon now and I hope it will work!!

The tool is now 2 weeks old and working fine. All cd/dvd drives should be on secondary ide and put a disc in the drives. No matter what for a disc, it makes the rescan easier and safer unless you want to reboot.
Btw you can mount the mini images of starforce games in daemon or alcohol. No difference.

well in the .nfo that comes with it it says the prog was released on nov 22... so star**** claims to be able to "****" starforce 3.4.63.xxx while the fall only uses 3.4.62, so, should it work? do you use aggressive method or do you even use the batch that deactives the whole ide cable?

i use cd drives on the both ide cables that are on my mainboard, my hd's are hanging at a seperate pci ide controller. i am mounting the image of the disc 1 of the game with daemon, i created it with alcohol with starforce profile, 1x dpm measure. i deactivate primary and secondary ide with agressive option, and when trying to patch with star**** he says "found 2 drivers, patched 0", what is that?

the game refuses to work with the message that the entered key is not correct. what should i do now?

another problem is that there are no settings if you got drives at primary AND secondary, cause i got three optical drives. the ini files are only either for primary or secondary.

can you help me? do i need a real mini image like the ones you can download for some games or should a real image also do? thanks.

The file, when executed, is recognized by McAfee to be a Trojan: PWS-Ilg.dr (http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_130220.htm)

So be careful!

beautiful. i was just wondering why the original tool is only 400kb of size. i will delete that one now.

What happens if during a play there is a freeze that force us to reboot the pc without being able to reactivate the drives from Windows ? Do we lose them or are they automatically reactivated by the reboot ?
With this, do we still need to do the registry thing with Daemon and Alcohol ?
Do we still need to use the StarforceClean to remove the SF device driver ?

[bierhuettl]

drives are restored after playing and if not, reboot and then they appear again. i did NOTHING like registry hacking, sfclean or something else. just used that prog. i am sure there will a more user-friendly prog rel soon

btw if you noticed there is a new version released today, version 0.8, the changelog only says that there are some small unnamed changes and unneeded files were deleted, nothing else. and some more help files in other languages are in there

@morglum it was NO good idea to overwrite all language files for star****.exe with spanish ones... i do not understand a bit and will continue using the old version, because the new 0.8 did not deactivate all my drives but i was using the same settings files like the older one... but the ability to be able to deactive within the program is good, i would want that more instead of a shortcut that has to be specified for every game again. maybe i write my own gui.

Ups, sorry, there were some mistakes when compressing. Right version is now OK. As u have said, it is in spanish by default, but it can be easyly changed by turning in /program/settings.ini "Language=English" or whatever u wanted.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
We still accept recomendations.

Morg @ CdSTeam

TIP: New version support till SF 3.4.63.XXX, it have been added the spanish language and .lnk were supressed in order to make more powerfull the tool. Now we can turn both drives and IDE, or just Drives.
I think we don't forgot something.

it cant be turned german or english, at least not the user interface of star****.exe because you replaced every button image with spanish ones

[Morglum007]

Have been fixed now. Anyway, it is not totally translated. Original pics from first Star****er are now correctly placed. New ones were an improvement for spanish version, and should be fixed soon.

Sorry! ;\
