Can anybody tell me : is it possible to copy StarForce protected CDs? What StarForce is based on? Where can I find more information about StarForce....
Thanks for any information or links.

according to Romsla's Post on the official Alcohol Forum, it is impossible to burn StarForce protected discs.
sorry...

That's really sad.... We can't make a copy, let's emulate! At the post, mentioned above it is said, that we can't get some params of the CD. But the original program recognizes the CD! What can stop us make a copy on a hard drive and then make the program think it used original CD?
Alcohol team is working on the problem, but maybe there is already such a prog?Comment

EVERYTHING can be emulated, and don't worry: Check HP and Board here from time to time
Daemon Tools is always "in development"
and I'm sure, AlcoholTeam is doing the same

Can we talk about StarForce on this topic? don't say: look at this..., go here... I want to talk about principles of this protection and more other...

Starforce is basically very similar to f.e. Securom V4.8x-Protection or CD-COPS. It depends on physical data measurement. Internal it's more advanced than the other protections, because it uses a special-driver to avoid emulation. This is all the info I wanna get out of hand at the moment, better explanations will follow as soon as Daemon Tools official support all StarForce-Protections.Comment

AFAIK StarForce uses ATIP information for checking CD. Can i find CD-R with indentical ATIP? And if i found this can i write 1:1 protected CD?Comment
-
ATIP-check is used to identify backups in writers only - original cds donґt have ATIP-info.Everybody be cool! You, be cool!

Tnx, i don't know that. I think CD-ROM (not Writter) can't read ATIP from CD, what did you say about this?Comment
-
Probably your cd-rom can not read ATIP-info. But ATIP-check is additional part of copy protections only.Everybody be cool! You, be cool!

"additional part"? and what in main part checks?Comment
-
Data in Q-Sub-channel, defect sectors, or - like most copy protections atm (e.g. Starforce, SecuROM 4.8x, ProtectCD5) - physical structure of original cd.Everybody be cool! You, be cool!

Whats about CD-ROM's who doesn't support reading information from sub-channels?
And defect sectors can be correct (?) written by same CD-Writters.
Don't forgot we talk about StarForce protection and not anything about else.Comment

@LX:
Your Question is already answered: StarForce checks for physical data measurement. Nothing more, nothing less. Read about Securom *New* V4.8x to read more about physical data measurement.Comment

ok, just read.
next Q: how changes StarForce1, 2 and 3?Comment
