Hello world! Very Happy

I was willing to buy TrackMania Sunrise, but I have bought USB2 adapter for 15€ and the rest of my money was not enough for the game self Sad
What the fuck should I do, if I have no other way now to create properly working copy of my original. Anyway I have saved my money.
Thank to this fact I have got acquainted with p2p networks Smile
I have downloaded french and english images of this game via bittorrent network.
There were no topologies, so I was looking for the topology of english or french game. But everything I found didn't work. What was the prob? I know it now, someone has sprayed faked images. Look inside, both different images contain the same starforce key, but I was told it is impossible for this protection. Someone said, I could use german topology and german starforce key, so i did it. I have used german topology and have found german starforce key.
Burned both english and french images with RMPS in Alcohol and german topology, after activated RMPS emulation. Next probs, starforce has reported, i have to insert the disk in another drive, what the fuck, starforce wants just one of my two drives?
I have an another original starforce game and I got the same error, so i have asked in my favorite forum, why does it happen?! Seems, starforce wants always to be played from an drive starforce has direct access to. So everyone has always to deactivate ide drives, if someone wants to play from his original via external drives. The protection tells you, where you have to insert your original game, you can do nothing on your own will, just because of this fact I will never again buy any starforce protected game.
Since my PC is always open in the summer, i have unplugged my drive directly, it seems any ide controller supports hot plugging and unplugging, well, I have learnt again something new on this day Smile
After all I have started the game, was waiting till starforce told me, i have the non licensed disc and got the field to insert the german key. The game was running perfectly, no probs. But i thought, is there a way to deactivate drives without unplugging. I was told StarForce Nightmare should do the work, but it was not working for me, my drives were always visible in my device manager and starforce saw it too.
The friend of mine said, I have still the possibility to do it, I should separate my hard drives and cd/dvd drives on different controllers. Any modern mainboard has more as one controller, most of new motherboards have as standard usual ide + ide raid + sata raid controllers So i have installed my both hard drives on my ide raid controller, no probs with booting, everything was perfect. So my ide cd drive has remained on ide controller. As next, i have deactivated my whole ide controller in device manager. The game has started perfectly without unplugging the drive, when i have finished to play i have activated my controller and my ide drive has appeared again Smile
But it was still little bit not perfect, to go in device manager is the way to long. The solution was to use devcon.exe from Microsoft, easy to set for advanced users Smile
I have created batch file, one click deactivates my ide controller and one click activates it again. You know, starforce has driven me to learn many useful things Smile
I just hope, you will find my experiences useful for you.

SElt it will and same is for SCSI. as long as you have no IDE drive in your computer it will work or they have to put it on the game package that the game doesnt run from USB 2.0 external drives. Alot of ppl use notebooks and if they disable usb2.0 drive support they have the trouble with it.

For sf nightmare: its know to the sf coders and doesnt work with newest sf3 anymore as if it gets detected in memory the game doesnt go into compatibility mode like it should Razz so no go for the game. Easiest trick for all ppl. that are angry about sf3 clones:

use win 64, install cd drives on a non onboard ide controler so that u can easy unplug drives and install a scsi controler with a normal dvd rom (invest costs about 60 punds for controler and dvdrom) and ur happy. using SCSI controler will never give ring0 to sf3 drivers to touch the cd.

for your problem about the serial in the image:
It is sure possible that the key for english and french is identical as not all filedata is calculated in the 3.4.7x keys. So if the cd mastercode and thefile crcs that get checked are identical (aka multilingual like most data in trackmania is) then cdkey calculated is the same.

To create a working mds every1 shoud have a plextor SCSI dvdrom. Its the best reader for making perfect mds files for dvds protected with sf3.

Btw i heared (not checked my self) that a directoy mounted as network cddrive form a firewire external hdd works a s"image" too when u have mounted a miniimage in alcohol for rmps data.
Sounds impossible to me but maybe someone can confirm this?

So what you're saying is, that if you have an external firewire-powered HDD with only an exact copy of ana SF3 game, could double as the actual CD? If so then it might be possible to just make a new partition for it.
