Well, then you need to run _good_ monitoring system i guess, like custom-made by alcohol soft for this purpose, cause otherwise i think starforce'll consider any regmon/filemon-like normal tools as debuggers and thus refuse to run.
Btw, original way of creating mini-images stated:
"Get dpm at low speed. Start creating image but cancel at 15-30%(or 15-30 seconds?), don't delete. Now this image'll pass protection check".
So this involved only using alcohol, ofcourse resulting image would be much bigger and contain unneeded data... But maybe they didn't try to blacklist this method too hard yet and only blacklisted completely empty cd, so, if you can, try this also please, as i don't have i-ninja or X2 version with starforce to experiment.

i have a little problem with codename panzers - phase one, and i realy don't know what i could have done wrong..
ok heres what i have done.
i made an image with alc ver 1.9.2 (Build 1705) with an TEAC DV-W50D from the original disc with dpm at 1x.
the resulting mds was 3258 bytes, now i cleaned the mdf with ultraiso and saved it as bin/cue, the resulting bin was 68208 bytes.
i renamed the bin to the name of the mdf i've made and copied the mds and the little mfd to a own dir.
as next i have shut down my comp and disconnected my burner (the only optical drive i have in).
after boot i have mounted the mini mdf over the mds to dtools ver 3.46 and tried to start a to ver 1.06 patched panzers, it tried to check the disc a few mins, and comes up with "cant authenticate disc, make sure the disc is an original disc"
someone here mentioned that a newer ver of starforce will stop even games with an older versions from running, how i can see what ver of starforce is on my sys ?
anyone here that can help me, i am clueless
thx in advance and sorry if my english isn't that good

I have dtools and I know how to use it.
What I have understood so far is that you mount the .img file like always, while the mdf, mds files make 'Starforce' happy...
Kinda hard to understand what you're all saying without that much knowledge of all this..
Thanks!

Your mistake was in thinking we support piracy on this board. Alcohol is not designed for the illegal use or duplication of copyrighted materials. What can you do to fix this? It's very easy. Delete the images you downloaded, drive to the nearest computer store (or for penance, drive to the one furthest from you), pick up a copy from the shelf, pull out your wallet and buy it.
See? That wasn't so hard.

Can it be that this error has anything to do with the serial? With SHOWWII there are 2 different serials for different regions. I don't think this is the problem, but just to make sure.

I'm trying with the game SuperPower 2 but it doesn't seem to work anymore. I can't make it work unless I put the real CD1 in the drive.
Any suggestion?

No CD's are illegal and as per forum policy we try to remove all reference to them from posts.
Just go to ultraiso.com and download the demo.
