SCSI Blacklists - or why some perfect images won't run with Daemon Tools v4

[viperuws]

Disabling the drive worked for my computer. It has a SATA HD I believe and I got the image of my friends cd (stubbs the zombie, he gave it to me cause he didnt like it =/ )working by only disabling the DVD drive. And running DT4 that is.

which things i should have to disable by using sfn inorder to run brian lara 2005 & in which sequence ?

[tombman]

I just removed all IDE optical drives and installed them in external USB cases- now i donґt have any IDE optical drives anymore -> problem solved. EVERYTHING running fine with DT4

[HellasVagabond]

You couldnt wait for the next DT4 version ? :P

this works for me..

if any wants a script (either vbscript or win32 app(framework 2.0) to do the follow let me know...

okay you can by pass this by removing the following from the registery... dont worry every time you reboot it gets rebuilt.

what I would do is rename it just incase


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\Scsi]

if you rename this then all D-Tools Scsi drives are no longer being flagged by the copy protection.

I have verified with some of the new games that have this protection.

just remeber that the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\
gets rebuilt on a reboot so it will need to be renamed every time..

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\Scsi]

also you could do it on any of the d-tools SCSI ports

example

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\Scsi\Scsi Port 0\Scsi Bus 0]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\Scsi\Scsi Port 1\Scsi Bus 0]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\Scsi\Scsi Port 2\Scsi Bus 0]

just remove the one that corresonds to the device that you mounted.


this all worked for me.... but I belive this will be short termed method. I think some new copy protection will look at the scsi port its self.

Has anyone tried this, possibly with a pozitive feedback?

The hiding tools make the same things in the registry like freibuis it posted. The most hiding tool delete or deny the access to these keys, they don't rename them so it should work like freibuis it posted. I recommend you to make a backup before deleting.

[IcarusV2X]

Yeah but will it work for the newest versions of starforce? Cuz I can't open my chasis because of the waranty which I intend on keeping since I am a valued customer at the shop where I bought my computer and have been since 1999. So pulling out the IDE cables is not an option for me.

[AnalCobra]

For StarForce >3.5 mostly it's the only way to unplug your drives. Disabling only works on NForce 3/4 Boards.

[rockmanxy]

Can anyone who can get SF3.5+ working with NF3/4 give a link to the working IDE driver?
I'm using Nforce IDE driver 5.52 with NF4.
I tried it with SF3.6.
But It always ask me to insert disc to another driver.
Is this method useful for 3.6~3.8?

[Sabrehawk]

really not hard to blacklist isnt it?
