I have a newbie question about this "SFcure" and SFNightmare stuff etc. (well, its no fun, but this will be the future for running "backup versions" of PC games, I think... Sad )

Until now I played my games under Windows 2000 SP4 because I noticed many games are running faster and more stable than with WinXP. Is it possible to run this StarForce emulation and hide CD etc. stuff under Win2000 ?? Or it is really absolutely necessary to switch to WinXP SP 2 ??

thanks

well... there are some guys who say SFCure runs on Win2k... but SFN would not... so you got to unplug your drives manually...

You used the 03_x64 version of sfcure?

Install notes from the .nfo:


1. IDE PCI Controller Drivers MUST be OS STANDARD IDE PCI Drivers.

2. Unpack file sfcure01 that's in tools.rar and launch file !setup.bat
through MS-Dos Prompt and reboot your box.

3. If u have AMD64, then use sfcure_x64 that works same way as the other.

4. Mount Alcohol 120% img and install the game.

5. Once installation is complete, launch sfdrup.
Matrix says:
6. Launch through MS-Dos Prompt the file !start.bat that's in the unpacked file sfcure01.

7. Unpack file sfn.rar e launch sfn.exe (StarForce Nightmare 1.12)

8. Select in this order "Disable node" , "Disable CD" , "Disable node" , and the IDE channel
you use for real CD/DVD units (Pr. Slave , Sc. Master o Sc. Slave ) , depending on how your
IDE units are connected

9. Launch the game and use this serial: *****-*****-*****-*****-***** .

10. Play.

I got this (internal??) release and it FINALLY!!! works for me!!
I tried also iTWiNS release, but no success on my nForce3-based mainboard.

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory Euro DVD Edition (c) 2004 Ubisoft
*************************************************************

Size: 1x4.16GB (.mds/.mdf alcohol images)
Languages: MultiPC (English, French)
Medium: DVD5
Protection: StarForce 3.4.76.00
Anti-protection method: emulation + SFNightmare + SFCure
Original image: SNAKE (thank you for your accurate clone!)
Remastered: dANGEL0
Repacked: dANGEL0
Tutorial: dANGEL0
Tested: dANGEL0, l0mar, CeLeRoN

*************************************************************
JUST A REMINDER....
*************************************************************

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory was the most anticipated game of
the year 2004 (HL2 and DOOM3 were also anticipated...;) but
it was a big dissapointment all around the scene due to lack
of ability to crack this game properly. We still don't have
a crack BUT we found a way from this awfull trap. Big thanks
to russian coders who made an awesome job when created such
tools as SFNightmare and recently the most discussed SFCure.

This is a custom repack made by us, ViLLAGERZ. Also we gotta
thank SNAKE who createad probably the only working clone that
works with SFCure, but we still had to change the .mds file.

There are rumors all around forums that SFCure is not working,
especially on nForce (2,3,4) and KT600 and KT800 chipsets.
Well, this is NOT so hot as it looks! Basically, all chipsets
may cause problems, IF YOU WILL NOT FOLLOW INSTALL STEPS!!

I personally tested FiC-AU31 (nForce2 chipset) and everything
went flawlessly. Also VIA KT600-based boards have been tested
successfuly. So, it's my opinion that all problems some people
have are caused just by themselves OR their hardware/software.

*************************************************************
  WARNiNG: ALL INSTALLATiON STEPS MUST BE STRiCTLY FOLLOWED!
*************************************************************

                  i N S T A L L A T i O N

             (Step-by-step tutorial by dANGEL0)


Step 1:

Don't use DaemonTools 3.47! It's the essential advice! If you
have installed DTOOLS, remove and uninstall them first. Use
and install Alcohol_120_v1.9.5.3105_Retail_Incl_Offline_KeyGen.
This release is included. This is a full and retail keygenned
version. After finishing installation this alcohol, DON'T ALLOW
Alcohol to access internet (otherwise you might be blacklisted).
If you get blacklisted accidentaly, repeat keygenning but use
a different name for registration.

Create just only ONE virtual drive (default) in Alcohol!!
So, in other words, let it be untouched.

Thanks 9Down for this keygen!

Step 1.1:

All your internal ATAPI CD/DVD ROM/RW drives MUST be connected
just and only to SECONDARY IDE CHANNEL! We can not say what you
can expect if one of your CD/DVD drives is attached to Primary
IDE channel, but PROLLY all your attempts to play this game will
inevitably fail. Disabling CH2 is more accurate when hiding
drives. If you don't want to swap drives manually, you will have
to disable your CD/DVD drive on primary channel using SFNightmare
and pressing 'Disable Primary-Slave'. Disabling CH2 is much much
better, because the entire secondary IDE nod is disabled. SF3
protection is really powerfull and MAY see your CD/DVD drive even
if you have pressed 'Disable Primary Slave'.

So, it is my hereby advice: Have your all internal CD/DVD drives
connected only to IDE Secondary Channel on your motherboard!

Also, when using this method, don't attach external USB drives.

Step 1.2:

!!! SFCure NEEDS Windows XP SP2 installed !!!

If you don't have it, download SP2 and run its installation first!
Don't attempt to continue with installing this game if you don't
run Windows XP SP2!

Step 2:

 1 - Unzip archive
 2 - Run SFCure (SFCURE_32BIT\SFAFSB.EXE).
     
         ATTENTION (only for AMD64/x64 users, others skip to Step 3):   
       
       - If you have AMD64 or Intel x64, use batch files
         in SFCURE_64BIT folder instead of SFAFSB.EXE!
       - Using 32BIT SFCURE is allowed for 32BIT-only CPUs!!
       - Don't use SFAFSB.EXE!
       - All operations regarding SFAFSB.EXE below, replace with
         calling batch files placed in \SFCURE_64BIT\.
     
         It means, all following steps regarding SFAFSB are:
       
         (\SFCURE_64BIT\<required step>.bat).

 3 - Press button 'Install SFAFSB'
 4 - Press button 'Start SFAFSB'
 5 - Run SFNightmare.exe
 6 - Press Disable Node and then press Disable CD.
     (It may take up to 20 seconds to disable CD, wait until done!)
 7 - Reboot (even if you are not prompted...;))
 8 - Repeat steps from 4 to 6 (run SFAFSB.EXE first).
 9 - Mount SC:CT image to Alcohol emulator and install the game.
10 - Reboot once again.
11 - Repeat steps from 4 to 6 once again (run SFAFSB.EXE first).
12 - Update SC:CT from v1.00 to v1.04 game using update file (86MB).
13 - Click on SC:CT desktop icon. You will be asked to reboot. Do it!
14 - Repeat steps from 4 to 6 (run SFAFSB.EXE first).
15 - Still in SFNightmare, press 'Disable CH2'.
16 - Click on SC:CT desktop icon.
17 - Enter this serial: (censored)
18 - Wait for 3 - 6 seconds for SF3 to check the disc.
19 - Play!
20 - Fuck SF3! ;]

When you finsh playing and want to revert all drives back,
follow these steps:

- Unmount image from Alcohol!

  Stopping SFAFSB below with still mounted image may crash your PC
  into BSOD. Never leave the image mounted if you revert drives back!)

- Run SFNightmare.exe
- Press 'Enable CH2'
- Press 'Enable CD'
- Press 'Enable Node'
- Run SFAFSB.EXE
- Press 'Stop SFAFSB'


Once again, I gotta tell you this:

!!! IF YOU DIDN'T FOLLOW THESE INSTALL STEPS EXACTLY AS THEY ARE
GIVEN, YOUR GAME WILL BE PREVENTED TO PLAY BY STARFORCE 3 !!!

Tom.Clancy.s.Splinter.Cell.Chaos.Theory.READNFO.MULTILANGUAGE.CLONECD-iTWINS

its another clone..i tested this using these instructions:

Installation Notes: (Assuming you are running Windows XP Pro SP2 5.1 Build 2600 or similiar)
------------------
1. IDE PCI Controller Drivers MUST be OS STANDARD IDE PCI Drivers. (To check this go to Start/MyComputer - Right Click and Select Properties/Hardware/Device Manager - then go to IDE/ATA/ATAPI Controllers. Then under each sub heading right click - select properties, and make sure each one says Standard Windows OS Drivers or similiar)

2. Unpack file sfcure01 that's in tools.rar and launch file !setup.bat
through MS-Dos Prompt and reboot your box.

3. If u have AMD64, then use sfcure_x64 that works same way as the other.

4. First make SURE your Alcohol 120% version is the latest! (Version 1.9.5.3105) Mount Alcohol 120% img and install the game.

5. Once installation is complete, launch sfdrup.exe to update StarForce3 drivers and reboot the box. (Unless you don't have any, in which case, you will after trying to run the game once and getting an error, so no worries)

6. Execute the file !start.bat that's in the unpacked file sfcure01.

7. Unpack file sfn.rar e launch sfn.exe (StarForce Nightmare 1.12)

8. Select in this order "Disable node" , then "Disable CD" , and then "Disable node" once more, and disable all the the IDE channels you use for real CD/DVD units (Pr. Slave , Sc. Master o Sc. Slave. etc, depending on how your system is configured. Be sure to select "disable node" before each one.

9. Launch the game (from the desktop just like normal) and use this serial: ********************

-----------------------------------------------------------------

i removed D-Tools and installed latest Alcohol120% 1.9.5.3105, im postive i didnt mis any step

they r both on SC. Master/SC. Slave.. after using SFNightmare and disabling node my drives are gone as it should right?



image is mounted,all settings ticked in Alcohol120% but nogo...
using Starforce Nightmare to ebable the drives also works fine:


nfo says:

my way: disable node,disable cd,disable node,SC.Master off,disable node,SC.Slave off
any good?

or is it: disable node,disable cd,disable node,disable node,SC.Master off,disable node,SC.Slave off
??

i shall unplug the drives and try once more... Wink

I just wanted to post: SUCCESS...finally it was works....lol! its ironic that I was just 3 days away from buying this game. . well! now I can use the money on pop3.

well...anyway, my specs are:

INSPIRON 9300
-------------------

Pentium M 1.86 ghz
1 gig DDR2 Dual channel ram together running at 533 mhz
256 MB Geforce 6800 go
17 inch true life lcd
5400 rpm HDD

I got the Itwins version and I first installed alcohol trial and then just run the sfcure from windows...i.e double click it. then I disabled daemon and ran alcohol scct. after using sfnightmare to disable cd, node. it didn;t work

a day later I first tried to figure out and use sfcure in msdos. then noticed error. changed lines in boot.ini. now service starts. then removed daemon. got new cracked alcohol. then disabled node, cd, node. and YES!! 6 months of wait...is over.

hats off to the guys who designed sfcure. Very Happy...I was a little skeptical if I should do this on my laptop...but it worked. Very Happy...I am running scct at 1920 1200 res at all high..expect hardware shadow off, low res shadow...shader model 3 activated. looks wicked. Very Happy

cheers,

flank.

ooh btw...I remember...I actually had to remove my sf drivers first, I have 3 more originall SF games....sh3 etc...so the drivers were latest updated. I used sfclean and then just started scct. it installed its version. then used sfupdate in the itwins package..and that seems to work for me.

so if anyone had problems like this..check it out.

Why not? Will the world explode? Either it doesn't matter one way or another, or it does, in fact, require RMPS. Because I have it on and the game is working.

For anyone who still can't get it to work:

First of all, you shouldn't need to reboot more than once. Anyone who is telling you to reboot after every step is paranoid and retarded.

This is the procedure I used to make SCCT work after reading all the other checklists both here and at that freaky place what with all the CDs and such. I've removed all (most) of the unnecessary steps.

Note that this was done on a 32-bit Intel machine, so it probably won't work on a 64-bit AMD machine.

0a. Use Splinter_Cell__Chaos_Theory_ID1042[Copybase[1].ch].mds instead of the mds you have.
0b. Unplug all CD/DVD drives. They don't exist. No, seriously. Unplug them. Yes, really.
0c. Make sure you don't have any StarForce drivers on your system at this point.
1. Run SFAFSB.EXE -> 'Install SFcure driver', 'Start SFAFSB'
2. Install SC:CT through Alcohol 1.9.5 build 3105 (Everyone is whining that it won't work in DT)
3. Update SC:CT using "Splinter Cell Chaos Theory Patch v1.00 - v1.04" (82-83MB) MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD THE RIGHT VERSION. A US PATCH WON'T WORK ON A EUROPEAN INSTALLATION. It sucks to have to wait an extra hour because you forgot Snake's image is European.
4. Reboot when prompted by the game.
5. SFNightmare -> Disable Node, Disable CD ; SFAFSB -> Start SFAFSB
6. Game -> key -> play
7. If you got this far and aren't playing the game, it didn't work. You probably failed step 0.

notes: I'm not remotely sure whether SFAFSB should be running while the game is installing. It won't hurt, of course, but is it necessary? Maybe. Maybe it prevents the SF drivers from entrenching themselves into your precious hardware profile. Or maybe it's just a placebo effect. Try skipping step 1 (thus adding it to 5) and tell me.

more notes: Yes, even with no optical devices connected, you need to disable node and CD. because you still have virtual optical devices. I've tested it both ways and it is necessary. Even with no CDROM plugged into this computer, no such drivers loaded, and even when I tried to think happy thoughts, the game refused to cooperate until I disabled node and CD. If it's telling you to insert the disk when the image is already mounted, this may very well be the problem. It was for me.
