USB Emulation

[blueaura]

The new starforce 3.x is a complete bitch though there seems to be a work around it being reported by using a perfect one on one backup of the original and then using an external usb enclosure.

If daemon tools could emulate a dvd/cd-rom drive as a USB device aswell as a SCSI device this would solve the problem would it not?

[LocutusofBorg]

no. As long as ATAPI-drive is found, SF refuses to start from other than that drives

Yeah but one can dissable ATAPI devices using StarForce Nightmare...
If Daemon will not have USB DVD-ROM emulation it will be totaly useless against SF3... This means no backups...

[LocutusofBorg]

are you kidding?
in case you use Starforcenightmare, you can also use SCSI-drives, there's
no difference then - no advantage

Everybody is reporting that you can no longer use SCSI drives... Or maybe there's a different reason that SCSI drives no longer work... You think that the new ver of DT will be able to emulate SF3 backups ?

[LocutusofBorg]

No, I KNOW it

And yes, we can easily even change it to USB-Drive - IF that's necessary,
you can count on it, we WILL do it

jfyi: current version is simply blacklisted, that's all. Our new version already
runs SF-Titles, all of them

That's great...
I knew about blacklistings... but I aslo read somewhere that with new SF3 it's more than blacklisting... SF3 i supposed to scan memory and remove every emulation software... But if You are saying that all SF3 titles work... you prolly have found a solution...
That's great...

BTW how is the development of new DT going...

[digi7al]

Emulate every SF3 saved game? That's music in my ears
Can you tell us the release date of the new DT?
(or "would you be so kind" + - 1d? )
I'm looking for it every single day.. I'd like to play SplinterCell CT without changing the disk every time.

rock'n'roll guys

SF3 working ?
That's great news. Now I can put my original Splinter Cell 3 DVD in a safe place and use an image.

Me too =))

[JediKnight]

I'm not kiddin'... I really DID bought the original game. I just hate having to insert the damn DVD in the drive every time I want to play the game.

This looks promising
Any news on other protections like Tagès or VOB Protect CD5?
