Splinter Cell 3 - Chaos Theroy (This Works!)

[DABhand]

Any SF protected games ive had, ive made a DPM and mounted with daemon tools and.

BUT

I had to rename the bus names on the daemon installer to something other than the default.

Then with DT running I right click the icon on the taskbar and goto the first drive then drive properties, at the top is 3 headings which I change to other entries. Enable all emulation (Including RPMS).

Then I mount the image, close daemon tools (keeping emulation running), Run Starforcenightmare disabling channel 2 and node (Since I have sata I disabled ATA also - not wise if you have IDE HD's), install the game (works best with SATA drives).

It then works with any SF games, also any other protected game.

Have you tried this with the latest version of StarForce? I always thought that Daemon Tools was blacklisted.

All this managed to do was freeze my disk check

Ok I dont have Raid or any other special things on my pc. I bought the game and I saw this post about how to make it work without the cd. This is what I did (this is considering you have 100% store bought Splinter Cell 3 game) I downloaded the starfuct program at www.project-starfuct.tk ( the "t" in starfukt.tk address is a "k" ....and all i clicked is disable cd drive. then after that I mounted the image on my Dameon tools drive and then I clicked the icon on my desktop. I started the game. Asked me for the cd key, I entered it, it took about 3-4 minutes to scan the disk that was on Dameon and then it worked. After that it never did that again. Of corse this will not work with pirated copies. I think that is bull **** and should not ever be done. They finaly got smart and made the CDKey's unique to the cd. so trying to pirate this game is usless. But if you have a 100% store bought game please try this if you hate switching cd's.... Note to all worried users. The starfuct program only dissables what you click for the currently loaded windows. when you reload windows (restart or shutdown) it is the same as it always is. So if you make a mistake and lock up your pc its not a problem just restart it and dont do what you did before again

What program and settings did you use to make the image??

StarForce 3 is being worked on for Daemon Tools v4. Hopefully we'll see a new release soon! Also Daemon Tools Pro 1.0 also looks to try and tackle this mess. Patience I guess?

Does splintercell3 overwright the hardware profile registry every time it starts? if it does, is their any why to stop it because if so importing a hardware .reg entry profile that works from a back up copy (like mine) should crack the game.

I used data position measurement High Do not skip read errors data position measurment read speed 1x. I havnt burned the image. I dont ahve a DVD burner. I store all my game images on a seperate drive and then I just mount them when I need too. Also Rip the DVD you will have to figure out what the protection is on the DVD so that it can successfully rip it. There is many tools out there to help you find that out. I hope that was helpfull

Make sure you change device parameters under daemon tools to the following

I'm quite new to this. Can someone help me with the following?
1) What is "starf uck" and where can I download it? (I'm having trouble finding the German 0.83 beta)
2) Where can I download (if I can download it) Starforce 3.4.63.2 ?
3) Is the method tried/installed from a cracked/downloaded image?

If someone could explain to me Thanks

SCCT is obviously a hard nut to crack.

1. google is your friend... (search for "Star**** Tools")
http://www.project-star****.tk/
well thats starforce nightmare, it kinda took over where starf*ck left off
http://www.softhy.net/down.asp?id=3969&no=1
thats starf*ck 0.83 i think
2. starforce 3.4.63.2 is a setting in starf*ck
3. if you can get the crack for the game then you dont need (1) and downloaded images are illegal ;p

[ConFu]

I tried to run starf*ck, but it reboots my computer. Is suppose that's not a normal thing...

[TippeX]

yep it aint normal, though it depends what settings you activated/deactivated i guess, if you dont know what you're doing then i'd seriously recommend not using it, should have mentioned that earlier

Hi,

I`m still not able to run the game from an image.At least I screwed up 2 DVDs trying to burn the image from the orginal CD, I both times i got read errors.

When i finally managed it to burn the image and mounted in the deamon drive it still says that my CD-key does not fit to the CD thats in the drive, thats kinda strange coz it´s the serial from the orginal disk.....

Finally I think gamers will have wo wait till a working no-cd crack is released, does anyone have information when that could be?

Best regards

On 99.9% of peoples systems you cannot. I've tried every possible method suggested everywhere. For some reason certain people can run it from an image, probably just because StarForce doesn't recognize some of thier hardware or something. So don't be upset, thier are very few people that can run it from an image.

Personally I do not think a crack will ever be released. Obviously, cracking StarForce is quite difficult. Why would crackers make a crack that requires a lot of hard work if it just becomes outdated with the next version of StarForce. And the main reason they won't make a crack is because they probably all know that the next version of Daemon Tools (v4) will be able to emulate StarForce. Why would they make a crack if they know a program that is almost finished will be able to emulate it?

Ok i that did not know

So all further discussion about a crack quite useless...
