Prince Of Persia - The Two Thrones-USE THIS THREAD, Do NOT START another Thread!
 

Hi, I've just a question, turning off CD and Node with StarForce Nightmare is the equal to remove the ide data and power cables from the drives?

I'm asking it because I uninstalled alcohol and now I've just DT4, i mount the image, disable the cd and the node but it doesn't work.

I tried with the usb external drive trick too, but also this doesn't work.


Can anyone help me?

NOTE: I changed the title! Grumpy ;)

Prince of Persia:The Two Thrones
 

Hello to everyone, im new here. I have never had mamy problems with games, except with this one. Looks like the game is suppose to work uninstalling the IDE drives and mounting it using DT4. So i must be doing something really wrong. Like Alexandro, i tried using Starforce Nightmare and it also didnt worked for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

if u have a laptop its easy...u can just slide cd drive out then use daemon tools to create virtual d:/ drive and SF protected games work fine...then when u done playin just remove virtual d:/ and slide cd drive back in...if anything u might have to run sd4hide. dont have to disable nothing.
if ya got regular tower pc then im sure its a pain in the butt to remove cd drive...wouldnt know tho... i got a laptop...lol.

I disabled all IDE drives in the device manager, they don't even appear in windows explorer anymore, then I used DT4 to create a virtual drive and it says I have to put the disc in another drive. :\

Here's a StarForce driver remover, if you don't intend to play The Two Thrones. The StarForce protection installs a driver on your system, that isn't really good. http://www.onlinesecurity-on.com/protect.phtml?c=55

I moved the first 5 post to here from the PoP:TtT thread in the "Game Protection"-Subforum.

Please do NOT post questions&problems in this subforum!

Guys, for lots of tricks on circumventing copy protections, read the relevant entries of the FAQ. I hope these will help you!

Hi everybody.I think i found a way to play Prince of Persia the two thrones but it will work only for people which have only optical drives on the IDE controller.It is needed just to install Daemon Tools 4 and mark everything in Emulation and Options.Then mount image , install game , start game , reboot to install starforce drivers and here is the trick.After reboot you should disable your IDE controller through device manager ( not the optical drives but the whole IDE controller ) , mount image , start game and play.I will be very happy if someone try this method with other starforce games also.

Edit: I mentioned it earlier but here i mention it again with capital letters because it is important.THIS IS USABLE ONLY FOR PEOPLE WITH NONATA HARDDRIVES ( TESTED WITH SATA should work with USB and Firewire Harddrives also) You should HAVE ONLY OPTICAL DRIVES ON YOUR IDE CONTROLLER FOR THIS TO WORK

Confussion of IDE
 

I have DVD-RW and a CD-RW . In devive manager it shows a Nvidia nforce2 IDE controller, and Primary IDE and Secondary IDE. Which ones should i disable? Is primary or nforce2 IDE controller of the hard disk?

Primary IDE is usually for IDE HD's. Unless you have SATA HD's

Secondary IDE is more common for Cd/DVD drives

So if I have 2 primary IDE channels and 2 secondary IDE channels, I should only disable the secondary ones? Is there a risk of anything ending badly for my computer?

I have 2 drives BTW, one DVD/CD burner/reader, and the other is DVD/CD reader.

@Alexandro: Try to Disable CH2 too

If you want to play the PoP:T2T you bought without a dvd
do it the same way as SCCT, it is exacly the same but just easier
NOT Alcohol 120% BUT Daemon Tools 4 is is much easier and not that much work

it ain't that hard, just use your Grey Cells in your head to figure the rest out ;)

Good Luck

PS: No need to disconnect the IDE cable or anything
PPS: Programs needed are SFNightmare and SF Anti File System Blocker

I tried to use SFN, Sf*ck, Sfcure, but there's nothing to do.

I Disabled the node and the CD with sfn, but with device manager too, but the game doesn't work if I mount the image in dt4. (I uninstalled Alcohol)

I've got a usb dvd also, but if i run the game with a burned copy of the game it says to insert the cd into another reader.

Starforce F*cks!

Right now, SF Nightmare is useless against StarForce 3.6.10, which PoP uses. The only way is to physically disconnect drives. I heard DT4 might soon be able to emulate IDE drives, no longer about SCSI, which the curent version of SF that PoP uses probably won't be able to detect.

i have buyied this game today in 3cd ,after copying all file i extract them to file but when it completes 96% it says there is not enough disk space though i have 120 GB SATA and the drive is free of space anyone can help me pls?

Contact the publisher. Also, read the FAQ on solving problems with original games.

Can you specify your problems clearly? Does it happen when you try to install the game? How much free space do you have left in the partition you are trying to install the game to?

i just tried the mini image posted on the site and it doesent work,and i cant be botherd messing around making a full image,so ill stick to my original until someone makes a good mini :P

the mini definitly doesent work because daemon toolz doesent even recognise the mds/mdf,it just comes up as corrupted image (and yes i redowloaded it about 40 times :P lol)

Extract them?

Is your game an original?

lol i think that guy shot him self in the foot a lil.

Hi.

A Mini-Image Has Been Posted On GAMECOPYWORLD.
Testing It Will Post Results.! :)

i just did,read up

Sorry Glenbo.

I Tested Image Results Are NOT WORKING.
I Tested It As Well As Glenbo. (Sorry Glenbo I Missed Your Post).

Well Hope Some One Release A Working Mini Or Maxi Image. :(

:D :D


to help you a little pro_kash , iam sure that your partition is FAT32 , so guess what ? u need a NTFS drive to be able to use that 4.2 GB image ... :)


and the new image is not working ... damn it ...

Have I missed something? What 4.2GB image? :confused:

Hi guys, there's nothing to do..... To play the game i have to plug out the cd player (i'm on a laptop) i tried all methods but nothing seems to working...only to put off the power in the players....
And the mini image i think is corrupted....Can we contact the creator to say him to re-upload the image? Maybe it could be work fine.....

Well, guys. I'm new here and I just wanted to say that I tried nearly everything that could help to run PoP:T2T without having the disc in your drive and I read almost all the forums in the whole internet xD and it seems that the only way to play it is to BUY the game because it's really worth it. I did so and I just can say: "Buy this game!". I know that it sux having to pay, but hey, if one game deserves it to be bought, then it's this.

If you still aren't convinced, then you'll have to wait as long as you waited for playing SCCT. I hope I could help you guys to make a decision.

I know that most of you have the original copy of the game and want just this "always putting cd in and out"-stuff to stop, but there are few of you that just want to have this game cracked succesfully.
I think Ubisoft did good work in this game and the developers of Starforce have done their work right. Congratulations.

cya, nexus22

sry if my english isn't that good...i'm spanish.:D :D :D

i've tested the game today - with win x86 the game will crash after launching.... disconnect drives are useless...

with win x64 the game starts normal by mounting the image with dt 4.0 - without disconnect any driver or disable ide controllers...

so it's seems to be different from each pc and OS version... so try ur luck :D

plz remember - i only TESTING the games - i do not play them.

@XdaywalkerX
Do you have a nforce 3/4 MOBO ?
The reason why i ask: http://www2.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/sho...96&postcount=1

hi Captain A can u help me pls how to extract all files ,and what is NTFS file system pls reply me fast

@pro_kash2005
What exactly are you trying to extract? Do mean you are trying to extract downloaded rar files?

ok i havent seen anyone here to be in my situation i think, so this is what happens to me:

The game will run SOMETIMES, like 80% won't work 20% works.

I use a complete 4gb mds/mdf image (no mini/maxi)
I have the IDE DVDROM unplugged, i use DT4 with all emulation disabled
I use SFNightmare and always press the same buttons even in the same order: Disbale CD, Disable CH2 and Diable Node
Then i run SF4Hide (i think this may be useless but i dont know so i use it always)
Then i start the game from the desktop shortcut.

Then it may work or it may reboot my PC.

i think in my case it might have something to do with the time windows has been running. if i restart and try to run the game it always reboots

can someone verify this??

i only get it to work sometimes after windows has been running for a while 30 minutes for example

i cant seem to find any explanation to what makes it work or not, and yes im 100% sure i always make exactly the same

look GRUMPY i have buyied 3cd set of this game and it says to copy all the winrar files to ur hard disk and extract them , so when i am extracting the files it says there is not enough space in hard disk and says it supports only in NTFS file system , got it?

LOL..

Since When Did Original Game Of POP3 Come In *.RAR Files.
I Smell A Downloaded Version :(

JoyJoeJunnior: i play with just my drives physically disconnected and image loaded in DT4. i've ran SF nightmare but it doesn't really work for this new version of SF

You bought a pirated version...

Hi Acording To The Manufactures, I Personally Think There Is No CD Version Only DVD VERSION.!

lol man you may aswell ban yourself dude..lmfao

That is correct, it only works if you disconect all cd rom drives.

It is working fine in my computer.
