Rush For Berlin

[Netanel]

Hi everybody, any idea how to bypass the starforce protection in Rush For Berlin? thanks.
(If this thread is somehow illegal or spam than im sorry..)

It's not illegal as long as you own the original discs and follow the board rules.

It's protected by the very recent StarForce 3.7, you'll probably out of luck using software to circumvent it. The safest bet will be to unplug your optical IDE drives. Shut down your computer, unplug the power connectors on your optical drives and try it again. Remember that drives need to be jumpered correctly, so if you unplug one of two drives on the same IDE cable, check if the other one needs to be jumpered differently.

If you need more help with unplugging and jumpering, feel free to ask.

I dont want to mess with the connections, I'm afraid I will screw something up :<
But I did disable both my DVD's using the Device Manager, and that didn't work.

Unfortunatly not safe enough for 3.7.16 *imagine a sad smily*

Iґve been searching for some kind of workaround for 2 days now, then i found this thread.
So its impossible to get around that starforce 3.7.16 yet, right?

ATM, no.
You'll have to wait for new tools.

Does the Mini Image trick not work ?

[LooDos]

no the mini image trick is already fixed in this newer version of SF...
so: keep waiting.

[Simoyd]

been half a month since anything has happened in this thread. Any updates on if this is backupable?

[LeftSaidFred]

Still no news?? There have to be news to the StarForce 3.7?

[Kinlaadare]

Still no news. At the moment there is no way to play latest SF games with a backup...

USB Drive or IDE Drive?

[LooDos]

I'd guess USB drive only...

I've tested both platinum 8x and 4x rw and both didn't work.
