CONFIRMED - Race Driver 2 workaround guide.

[Grumpy]

I want to play the Game...and dont want to tweak 2 hours and use 2 systems..disable my Drives....oh holy ****!!!

Yeh I agree with ya, I also couldnt be bothered doing all this to play the game so I just use my ORIGINAL DISC!!!!

@Diranar
THX!!! Your Image for the german version works great! I even dont have to unplugg my cd/dvd drives because they are on a standalone controller.

@ILLUMINATOR23
if you can't figure it out stop crying and play with your original disks.

I just want to confirm that the mini image does work
I made the mistake of using my CD key and not the one provided with the mini image. Use the one that comes with the image.

I don't unplug my DVD drive but rather disable my Secondary IDE chip in the BIOS to by pass Starforce (I use a SATA HD).

BTW the mini image works with 1.2 patch

Bloody hell, that was a long post, I don't know if I could be bothered with that workaround so here is one I tried. If like me you have more than one PC on your lan and want to play stick it in the drive and load the game, once the check has finished and the game has started the disk is not needed. Simply stick it in the second drive and play. I have 3 PC's on my net and this has so far worked without issue.

Yur right there jim, I just tried it as soon as I read your post, and yep it sure as hell worked!! How easy was that to play with the Original on 2 PC's!! Bet that peeves a lot of people who dont have the Original.
Like Ive said many times before this game is just to good, do yourselves a huge favour and just buy it! Surely it must be getting cheaper now!

Rip the TRD2 DVD to .mds image file.

How can i rip the mds auf a dvd game ? - alcohol makes not a dpm measurement of a dpm game.

[Grumpy]

I think he just means to use alcohol to make an image of the game?

[Luci]

why do you want to use dpm on a dvd?you think that if you use dpm the sf3 game will play?

[Grumpy]

I'd say 'ente' just got a little mixed up there! wouldnt you?

i have making a image of my dvd "the moment of silence" then i get a 4kb mds.


i open the mdf with ultra iso and delete all the files and safe it as bin/cue.

i trash the cue and copy my mds to the empty bin and rename it to tmos.mdf then i try to open the mds with daemon tools/alcohol an it says invalid image.

i try to mount the mdf and then the image an it does not work.

and the alcohol profil of starforce says make a dpm measurment so i think i need a good dpm measurement.

[Luci]

if the mdf is empty what do you want the pc do do?why can't you mount the whole image(4.6Gb or so)to your virtual drive.what's the point of deleting the contents od the image?

there where it says starforce 3 need dpm put can't be backed up yet!do you know what dpm does?
