![]() Use CD/DVD image converter to have one format images in your Image Catalog!Daemon Tools Lite's user interface is plain and simple but with an efficient layout that is crisply rendered. You can also work with images created by other burning programs! DAEMON Tools supports variety of image types. With DT I always get my games to work in the virtual drives.With DAEMON Tools you can back up your physical CD/DVD/HD DVD/Blu-ray discs into 'virtual discs' or so called 'disc image' files, which run directly on your hard drive. With DT you get more games to work, because A120 is mostly blacklisted and has other issues. I need an external USB Drive to start my StarForce Games and only bought it for that purpose.ĭT Pro Advanced vIDE is by far better than Alcohol 120%. I recommend to use a CD/DVD Reader to start your games, for the reasons you mentioned. (you need a new one, but it needs to be the same product!)Īfter having wrote this, I read your post and the things you wrote exactly state what I'm doing and what I had said before. ![]() ![]() and then burn the MDS/MDF image a second time to the exact some blank media used before. The laser of your drive is not always able to burn the media exactly enough for StarForce, so you correct the MDF/MDS image with a hexeditor for example. Than Scan the burned media and calculate the scorched sectors, because SF only always a certain abnormality when scaning the angles between the sectors. You have to burn the MDS/MDF image to a blank media. Using a hexeditor is for Starforce CD protected games. Period.ĭVD Versions always need emulation and sometimes hiders, while CD in DT Pro need no hiders. SafeDisc CD Versions burned to blank media need no emulation. ![]() The Twinpeak method and all other 1:! methods work as "1:1", as they are nearly 1:1, but there are always exceptions to a rule and with some drives and mainboard you can't get them to work. the main point i was trying to make is that the images are not 1:1, and most people using gamejackal won't have a clue how to use a hexeditor or be willing to go through the trial and error phases you go wrote 1:! => the last character is an exclamation mark, not a One. Thats what i meant, hope it clears things. however it wont pass the atip check (which pretty much all the protections have) because the disk isn't a pressed silver, so to make it work you would need to either put it in a dvd / cd READER only (puting it in a burner wont work because the burner supports atip), and/or using some tool to hide the atip check so the disk appears to be (at least to the protection) a pressed silver.Īnd if the burned disk needs rmps emulation, then it definately isn't a 1:1. Protections differ, some use angular velocity checks, some use sub channel, some use a bit of both, burning to blank media definately gets around the emulation detection / virtual drive detection. ![]() If you have to use a hexeditor then its hardly a 1:1 copy now is it?ĭt is the best tool out there to make images sure, there's no debate there (except perhaps alcohol but seeing as its essentially the same, its just a matter of choice).įor the hexeditor i suspect you're patching in sectors to make the timing checks right, which is definately a lot of trial and error work, along with quite a few coasters, once done (properly) then sure the disk will work, but the fact you mention using a hex editor on the image does imply that the image you're working from isn't 1:1 (which it definately isnt). ![]()
