starforce protection and king kong????

No need to unplug IDE connector!

i use DM4 and unplugg the cd power then i played for a whil.
i went to theyr site and there was DM4,03 downloaded it and played king kong whitout unnplugging the cd rom

I have been reading this thread and it seems like either unplug IDE connector or disconnect the cd rom power will get it work with starforce protection game. But mine is working without disconnecting any of my IDE connector at all

What I have done is just load the image file with DM tools, install and can play without any problem.

I still couldn't figure out why is working. But here is my pc spec that work like a charm.

Intel Pentium 3.0Ghz
1 GB DDR2 dual channel memory
1 SATA connecting to my Hard drive.
Motherboard come with only 1 IDE Connector connecting to 1 DVD-RW drive
OS - Windows Media Center

Starforce works on some but not all systems

and dont say its my system i have primed and testing this system and its all completely stable... so its not a hardware fault here.

Same for me. No matter what starforce removal method I use (or even unplugging drives), starforce always keeps asking me for the disk in the other drive.

It happened with Prince of Persia 3 and Second Sight.

Does anyone have any other clues?

How did you create your image?
Did you tried it on another system/pc?

Hey, I eventually got it to work! That's a first. I had to unplug my drives, though. SFCURE didn't do it, neither did NIGHTMARE.

I wonder if the king kong patcher that creates a patched .MDS & .MDF file might work for other starforce games where I failed before, eg. Prince of Persia 3 and Second Sight...

Thanks for your concern.

You also need to unplug your drives to getting Prince of Persia 3 to run. SFCure isn't needed when your are using DT 4. SFNightmare only works for Straforce Games < SF 3.4 (except you have a NForce 3/ 4 mainboard).

Patcher with PoP3

Ah, thanks for that info, anal.

I tried disconnecting my drives with PoP3 and Second Sight but it didn't work. But then I didn't have a patched new iso like with King Kong.

I'm going ot try the patcher with PoP3, so I'll let you know if it works.
