Splinter Cell Chaos Theory acting weird

2 of the most important things:
1. You have a good .MDS file with RIGHT DPM information!
If you have OWN the Original Boxed game, it is NOT illegal if
you use a Backup-copy,so on some sites was .MDS file, e.g.
Gamecopyworld (as the name tell it all) or copybase.ch.
I have the EURO Multilanguage DVD, I simple make Image with
Alcohol latest and CHANGE the .MDS file for the GOOD one.
(I put back my Original DVD for a while).
2. If you have a GOOD image, simple Mount in DT4 (I SET al-
ways EMULATION -> ALL OPTIONS ON).
Use Starforce Nightmare v1.12 and set DISABLE CD/NODE
+the channel/port you have CD/DVD drive.
Ofcourse use your included Starforce CDkey or didn't works.

I Updated to v1.04 next v1.05 and this method WORKS.
BUT: I used WinXP SP2/ONLY 1 VirtualDrive (NO Alcohol or
other VD configured!). Also If you have installed OTHER
Starforce game try SFDRVUP. IF DO NOT have another SF
game installed BUT REMOVED/UNINSTALLED any, use the
SFCLEAN or/and SFDREM (StarforceClean and Starforce
Driver Remove) programs (DOWNLOAD from official Starforce
site e.g. http://www.star-force.com/support/ etc.)

got sc:ct to work

I've been trying with various mds and none of them works. I managed to run game again, but this time i mounted with DT4 not the mds file but mdf, RMPS emulation checked and it work again, so it looks like that mds file is not required at all - strange, isn't it. BTW what info is stored in mds, I've read somewhere that for starforce games correct mds is critical, so why my SC:CT works without mds (I don't even have it on my hd)???
Cheers

yep it works ur way i just deleted the *.mds file after trying so many with diff options so recap i run dt4 first release not x64 version and run it with rmps emu on mount the *.mdf file and runs fine i would post my key here but im not allowed plus i paid for my key when i purchased the game you could always try the key on the ubisoft forum here "http://ubisoft-en.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/ubisoft_en.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=10441&p_created=1116590190&p_s id=C4gInMSh&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PW RmbHQmcF9ncmlkc29ydD0mcF9yb3dfY250PTEyJnBfcHJvZHM9 ODgsMTI4MyZwX2NhdHM9MCZwX3B2PTIuMTI4MyZwX2N2PSZwX3 NlYXJjaF90eXBlPWFuc3dlcnMuc2VhcmNoX25sJnBfcGFnZT0x &p_li=&p_topview=1%22"

4 me this is the only option as my dvd drive refuses to work with the copy protection Thanks UBISOFT strange cos other games protected with the same protection work fine for me
