Well, it doesn't work for me. It bitches about inserting a proper legitemate CD. This is using latest DT, with DVD-RW drive unplugged. How can people release stuff without even seeing if it works properly?

i have installed the game. i had to reboot for the starforce drivers, so i reboot. And later im getting a bluescreen. It said something about wmxlcore.sys driver and it seems a driver for my gamepad (usb). i reset and now i come normel in windows but now my mouse isn't working. I had to unplug my mouse and put it in again and now its working.

Is it starforce doing these things

Joke aside, have a look in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers and see if any of the usb drivers present there are modified today...My guess is that they are. BTW, is your mouse on USB?

man. curerom thingy is fricking awesome. i created a profile for toca3 too and now i have a shortcut rd3.exe on the desktop. i click that icon and curerom starts dtools, boots the dvd image and starts the game, all in 5 seconds and without prompting anything to me.
i just click and i'm in the game...
closest thing to a nocd ever!

I remember AntiBlaxx did the same thing, mounted image, hide emulator entries in the registry and started the exe, the only down side was that sometimes, at exit, it forgot to unhide the registry entries. Then, at boot, it messed up the comp pretty bad, you had to manualy uninstall drivers that came with the emulator ...etc....

After almost falling asleep waiting for the 43 chunks to be "RD3_AntiNonReversingDeUnSquishifimicateriser.exe" (heh), I merely mounted it in Daemon Tools 4.03 x64 and game worked first time.

This is on a nForce 3 motherboard, game uses StarForce 3.07.013.000, 26.01.06.

lol i wondered what that 43 operations were... they took about 10 minutes during the installation... u say they were anticopy measures? if so... effective at least Exclamation

I don't think they were anti-copying measures, just uncompressing heavily compressed chunks.

And yeah, game seems *yawn* exciting (not).

is it still possible that the game will run with just mounting it. So without unplugging or starforce nightmare with a nforce/3/4 chipset.

Has someone tried this


Yup, still no need to remove IDE cables Very Happy


How did you install it?

just install with deamon tools with all the options on and it will work? Laughing

Yup, that's all I did, it works like a charm... the game itself sucks imho

this can happen when XP removes then re-installs USB devices. It refreshes the USB driver stack which causes IRQ assignments to shift.

What settings are you using, it isn't working on my old computer (p4 2,2ghz/9600pro). Disconnecting ide cables worked.

For StarFarce protected titles, I prefer a nice straightforward batch file to launch the game.

Code:

ToCA.BAT

@ECHO OFF
REM StarFarce sux0r Donkeyz0r DICkZ0r
CLS
"C:\Program Files (x86)\DAEMON Tools\daemon.exe" -mount 0, F:\Images\RACEDRIVER3.mds
E:
CD "\Race Driver 3\"
RD3.exe
"C:\Program Files (x86)\DAEMON Tools\daemon.exe" -unmount 0


Simple and very fast launching.

nothing to "try and see if it works"... if u have no internal optical drive every clone -securom, safedisc and starforce- will work fine just mounting the image with dtools4. nothing else to do. mount and play
