has anyone find a way to copy the 'toca race driver 2' from original cd's with any kind of software blind,clone,etc and any options that worked with them.
5 months from releasing the game and a lot of people could not find a crack that worked. i dont know what kind of security has this game but for now the better way is to make original copys to play...

I think is in one dvd so we talking for a software that read and decrypts in iso or other mode in a dvd and copy with protection.

This is protected with StarForce 3 (in most areas) and ATM it is not possible to create a backup, not to mention it being on DVD.

i only use the clone but, not from all softwares cant break the starforce3??

TOCA Race Diver 2 vs Starforce 3.3.35.002

Here's a noob's experience after bcn_234 explanation of Starforce 3.3.35.005 and Starfuck.

After trying to mount the image of TOCA Race Driver 2 ( found at no warez download links allowed on this forum ... philamber ) with Daemontools and Starfuck I found the following:

I tried bcn_234's way ("how-to" to be found on same page) but to no avail. When I mounted the image with Daemon it still asked for the DVD. After a few boots I tried the following:

1=Leave your CD-ROM and DVD-ROM settings alone, don't mess with that.
2=Install the game from Alcohol 120% or simular (Nero ImageDrive)
3=Configure your game settings in Toca 2
4=Start Toca 2, it will ask to reboot and do so!
5=Install Daemontools, do not start Toca2!
6=Reboot again (required for Daemon to function properly)
7=Run primary_all_ide_agressive.bat (instead of primary_all_ide.bat)
8=Run secondary_all_ide_agr.bat (instead of secondary_all_ide.bat)
You'll notice you're DVD-ROM and Writer missing in Hardware Settings and perhaps Secondary IDE Channel disabled.
9=Mount mini-image from the same .torrent file with Daemontools (file to be found here http://www.daemon-tools.cc)
10=Start Toca 2
11= Enjoy!!!

My Specs:

Intel 2,6 HT (overclocked)
512 DDR
Geforce FX5200 (overclocked)
160 GB HD
Generic DVD-ROM
TEAC DVD-Writer 8x
WinXP Home SP1

Anyhow, hope this is useful, I have no disfunctionalities or whatever, everything seems to be working fine. I am able to play like every other game, even further in Career Mode. No flying cars or whatever. Hope this is to some help to someone, please reply if not, I am working on workarounds for others.

For anyone making a 1:1 copy using alcohol, use the normal Starforce settings and then continue from point 1.

Hey i just got this game, and cant get it to work... carck is giving me problems... whatever i tried it says there is no disk

usgaap, can you explain these steps little more, because i dont understand what to do there

7=Run primary_all_ide_agressive.bat (instead of primary_all_ide.bat)
8=Run secondary_all_ide_agr.bat (instead of secondary_all_ide.bat)

Thank You

aggressive_bat are options I found in a program called Starfuck which allowed me to run TOCA2/DTM2 without the original DVD inserted. I had to mount the mini DVD-image in Daemon though.

I installed TOCA2/DTM2 first from my DVD first, restarted, mounted the mini-image with Daemon and then I used Starfuck 0.80 which had these options. They are MS-DOS programs started under WinXP and they hide you're CD-ROM's from Starforce. BCN_246 wrote a small tutorial but I found out the aggressice settings worked for me. Perhaps other CD_ROM drives? Dunno, all I know I cab enjoy TOCA 2 with a mini-image mounted in Daemon and Starfuck.

Starfuck is a project of (German/) Russian programmers which should be able to bypass the latest Starforce protections used in games. It's functions is to circumvent the CD-ROM hardware check made by the game.

Use Google to search the programs mentioned.
