Starforce protection - Club CDFreaks

Hoobaba · 12-12-2002

Alcohol doesn't work with War and Peace which has the starforce protection. Can this be fixed?

**philamber** · 12-12-2002

No. Starforce protected cds can neither be duplicated nor emulated by any conventional software.

What´s about Gamejack?

You use "conventional" as "public" I guess ?

Yes (and preferably of a type that an old luddite like me can both understand and use).

Hoobaba · 14-12-2002

Any plans for alcohol or other software to be able to image starforce images?

...would "consumer" cover it? "Joe Blow"? "Fred Dagg"?

@philamber

Thats not correct. In an German ComputerTest by Chip.de Starforce 3.0 can be copied with the new Teac CD-RW and Alcohol/CloneCD.

I'm aware of it and I don't believe it (save that it's possible that someone managed a fluke).

You'll note that neither olli nor MarTinX (alcohol's programmer) claim that either of their proggies can successfully copy Starforce 3.0.

luciano · 23-12-2002

Starforce 3 can't be copied by alcohol. I'm sure!

I beg to differ with you. Someone has made a working backup with Starforce 3.0
I do not know how and I cannot mention why I know it has been backed up.
The cd/dvd cannot be used but the image can be used by unpluging your cd/dvd power cable or use a usb drive.

Reefke · 11-12-2005

Razorwindmo46, did you take a look at the date Philamber posted that message? It's 3 years old

Now it is indeed possible to backup Starforce, but 3 years ago it wasn't

I've done a copy of SF 3.63.2 using Alcohol & Starfuck.

LastStand · 17-12-2005

I have read that some ppl have managed to copy starforce 3.0+ games on CD-ROM by using twin sectors so that the angles are right so it looks like a pressed disc but no info. in reguards to DVD-ROM's.

Sorry for any spelling mistakes etc.
