Starforce Problems

I have been having problems with Starforce lately.
It seems that my emulators can't seem to defeat it with my current games at hand.

I was able to defeat a particular version in Mockba to Berlin which used the ff version.

Mockb to Berlin = Starforce v. 3.5.10.01

But my new games namely:

Flaming Cliffs = Starforce v. 3.7.19.04
Death to Spies = Starforce v. 4.70.11.03

My emulator can't make them work.

Any ideas on how I could make a working copy/image of my games?

Here are my specs:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Black Edition
6.1GB DDR2 RAM
XFX 8500GT Fatality 512MB
250GB SATA + 80GB SATA + 40GB EIDE
LG GSA-H55L
WinXP Home Edition + Kubuntu 7.10

Emulators:

Farstone Virtual Drive 11.5 Pro (I use this to disable the IDE DVD-Drive)

Alcohol 52% v. 1.9.7

first used dt lite 4,1224 Disk-Tools.com - Published Software Download
secound ,alcohol 120% version 1,97(6221)
CD and DVD Burning Software - Alcohol 120% - Alcohol 52% and Alcohol 52% Free
third please used dkill95
the last is a programm that manupulate windows time And date.
It works also on vista(used admid rights)
You must deinstall secdrv.dll(a nPnP driver found in Devicemanager,german gerätemanager I don't know which word it is in english version of windows xp)

All mentioned games work perfectly with latest Daemon Tools Lite/Pro.

Without hide/disconnect IDE Drives!?

Maybe you have to uninstall all SCSI drives from the system? I don't know.

[Blazkowicz]

You only have to unplug the optical drives for the first two games, not for the last.

Farstone VirtualDrive 11.5Pro has a function that lets you disable IDE CD/DVD drives without unplugging.

Another Starforce protected game

Sorry I forgot to mention that I still have another game with Starforce protection.

UAZ 4x4
StarForce v5.0.06.04

UAZ Racing 4x4 :: 1C Publishing games news screenshots videos downloads and online shop

How do you defeat this version?

I just noticed.

I now have 2 games from the 1C Company & they seem to have an annoying fettish for using Starforce.


Can't help buying their games.
They do have good ones...

Starforce 5 don't use a Blacklist.
mount or burn a RMPS disc, both work fine.
