Starforce & Tages
 

[b]Star-force[/b](俄國人發明的) 和[b]Tages[/b](法國人發明的)是最新一代防拷，使採用這種技術的光碟以現今的燒錄軟體無法備份(很可能就真的是無法備份了)，頂多只能使用模擬的方式應付，比如把模擬加在虛擬光碟程式裡，像Daemon Tools所做的。但能應付這兩種防拷技術的新版Daemon Tools 尚在研發中(即3.02以後的版本)。Tages的遊戲目前以[b]Moto Racer 3[/b]為代表，Star-Force的遊戲請參考 [url="http://www.star-force.com/news/"]Games protected by Star-Force[/url] ( [url="www.star-force.com"]Home Page of Star-Force[/url] )。有拿到這種原版遊戲的朋友，無需浪費力氣做虛功去試圖備份。

Quote from CDFreaks:

Macrovision is obselete, Starforce (and Tages!?) can't be copied.

I've spoken to more developers and according to all of them, there is sad news. There will be no software able to make a 1:1 copy of Starforce (and Tages!?) protected CDs.

Because the Starforce protection seems to depend on the CD pressing technique used in the manufacturering plant, it will need special media to make a backup or it will only run with an emulator enabled.

Also read [url="http://www.dtools.de/cgi-bin/iboard3/ikonboard.cgi?s=3c9b571a41deffff;act=ST;f=7;t=107"]this[/url] thread of the Deamon Tools forum, with the last posting made by the developer (VeNoM386)
of the software:

[b]
What concerns StarForce it is not possible to burn even theoretically with any program or writer, unless you get special media which can be different for each title or even party of CDs of same title. So forget it. It can be only emulated.[/b]

Support for emulation from image will be included soon.


It also seems hard to be cracked, but for as far as I could read, this can be done. So just for the record, Starforce copies will not work on excisting CD-R(W) media.

:) 感謝板主分享！！

唉~~~
TAGES果然是搞不定嚕~~~~~
謝謝jess版大的消息.....
