VSO Software Discuss, BW and Starforce 3 at Burning Software forum; Sorry to bring old Starforce 3 up again but I was thinking...... The protection is based on DPM right? And the reason people cant copy it like SecuROM 4.85> is because Starforce will access the IDE channels without going through windows and therefore bypassing any emulation put in

BW and Starforce 3

Sorry to bring old Starforce 3 up again but I was thinking......

The protection is based on DPM right? And the reason people cant copy it like SecuROM 4.85> is because Starforce will access the IDE channels without going through windows and therefore bypassing any emulation put in place.

So what if the image is burnt using BWA info and the burnt CD physically has the same structure as the original (I know this isn't what happens but it was easier to explain it this way ). If the file was then burnt with a Plex Premium which does DPM like nothing else then why doesn't the software pass the check.

In what way is the Starforce 3 DPM different to SecuROM?

Sorry. Call me thick but I figured it out for myself. Its the bloody ATIP isnt it !!!

I wonder why we cant overwrite the Atip or do something to the CDR to make that section unreadable. You know the magic marker thingy

Nothing to do with atip atall, rom drives dont read atip info, your SF3 copy will still fail in a rom attatched to MOBO ide

Please dont think like that Emulation should be an option, there for when all else fails.
Emulation and virtual drives are blacklistable.
Look at emulation as a software modchip for a PC,
New console ver = New modchip
New PC protection ver = new emu-soft
