NEW Starforce Killer,Run all Starforce Protected games as mounted
 

This is something i just came across and its called SFSECURE

taken from the readme

As some of you know by now a tool called sfcure has been released on a
well known site. There a versions of this tool avaiable. One is a bit
older than the other one. I tested the newer one. Here is a little manual
for you all.

1. Unzip sfcure01.zip
2. doubleclick !setup.bat to install the driver and press "ok" to put the
needed information into your registry
3. restart your computer
4. to start the driver doubleclick !start.bat (to stop it after use
doubleclick !stop.bat)
5. Get yourself a copy of Splinter Cell Chaos in mdf/mds format made with
Alcohol 120%. The mds-file has to contain the DPM-information (DPM= Data
Position Measurement) and the mdf-file has to one big non-splitted image.
A image splitted into for example 2 gig segments wont work, at least it
didnt work for me. The mdf-filesize for Splinter Cell Chaos Theory is 4,15
gigabyte for me.
6. Mount the image and install the game.
7. Start Starforce Nightmare 1.12 and disable your internal ide-Cd and
DVD-drives and also disable node.
8. Now start the game while the sfcure-driver is started and starforce
will verify that the mounted image is real. (Some of you maybe have to
restart your computer because Starforce tells you to do this)
9. Enjoy Splinter Cell Chaos Theory without an USB-drive!

Btw: The above mentioned method has also been tested by me on the following
games 1944: Battle of the Bulge, Panzers: Phase Two, Cross Racing Championship
2005 and Trackmania: Sunrise. I can personally confirm that I played them without
a problem.

Also a short note on Starforce Nightmare 1.12. From starforce version 3.5.XX.XX
and further you cant use Starforce Nightmare to disable your internal ide-CD and
DVD-drives. In such a case you have to manually remove the powercable from your
drives. But you still have to use Starforce Nightmare to disable node, because this
is needed to hide your virtual drives.

I hope this manual helps some of you without an USB-drive to play Splinter Cell
Chaos Theory and other SF-titles, while we wait for Daemon Tools 4. I also hope that
some clone-groups release high-DPM versions of newer SF-titles such as Bet on Soldier
or the upcoming Brothers in Arms.

Ihave Brian lara 2005 protected by the same which i am going to try this on,will post back results

Ihope i didnt Violate any Rules,do excuse me if i did,just trying to Help :)

this tool is not "new" its ****in old ;) a year or so i think?!

This tool have exactly one week and a half of age (SFcure 0.1) SFCure 0.3 is two days old.

I already posted about this here @ 1pm today.

my main idea was 2 get this 2 run on ALL games and not only splintercell CT

well for now that i see no cracks around, makking a perfect clone and then using the combo of SFCure + nightmare is the only way around 2 beating starforce and is the only way told by these cracker groups 2 play the game without a cd.
@noscript:no im not new 2 all this,and sf nightmare alone is no good against starforce.u need 2 use a combo of these 2

i didnt have much time 2 try around brian lara which is a cd game(not dvd)

any1 having success with the same do post back,i will too soon

Soul

well
i never got through sf nightmare, dont really understand that prog, too much buttons :D :D well but **** that programs, daemon4 is gonna be released in october, ciao starforce

Yeah, SCCT is working here too :) .
if you have AMD64, you better use the sfcure 0.3 x64 since the old one gives you an error.

Great News...does this work with mini images aswell?

yes it works fine
btw
big thanx to russian crackers!

I have to say it doesnt work with my Trackmania at all :mad:
I unplugged my drives manually, used SF Nightmare, used a mini image, used a full iamge, it did NOT work ?!
I wont try it with SC3, i almost crashed my whole ****ing Windoze with SF Nightmare disabling Channel 1, my HD :o

Can i run this game on win media center and win Vista ?

LOL

Surely you shouldve knew which channel your primary HD or any other HD was using.

Just the CD-roms you wanna disable buddy :P

I'll post back if it works 4 me!!!
 

Hi, and thanks for the info on the SFcure Proggy (i think it has to be run in a proper Dos box dosen't it??)
I have moved both my optical drives "Off Box" Using usb2.0 adaptors and external powered molexe's, to give me another two spaces for adding two xtra HDD's (two SATA 160GB's) raided, but with the additional advantage that the whole thing is running 20% cooler than it used to (AMD 2500+ - Fitted a fan where the DVD & DVD/RW used to be).
I have tried backup's via USB2.0 Optical drives without success (with and without SFN and S-Fu*k but not SFcure as yet), and wonder - do i still need mini-images with this method???

Thanks for the great site & forums,

Is there somewhere a Mini-Image for Trackmania Sunrise avaible for this method. I want try this but my knowlegde is not far enough do create a Mini-Image.

Sorry for my bad english
