INSTRUCTIONS
Okay, this was a hard task, the newest
StarForce hasn't been cracked and copying
is very complicated.
Notice that this workaround is not 100%
valid because it doesn't work with every
blank media.
PLEASE follow the instructions of this nfo
AS THEY ARE, don't interpret anything,
just do as we say, otherwise it won't wrk.
HOW TO GET THIS RELEASE TO WORK:
First of all we recommend to disable all
emulation and mounting software like D-
Tools and the emu/virtual drive options of
Alcohol 120%.
If you disable all virtual drives of D-
Tools and remove it from the autostart
with disabling emu/virtual options of Alc
everything should be okay.
- burn CD1 and CD2 like MAX told you
- download and install BW v5.1.10.136
- copy the provided .ini into C:\WINDOWS
- download BW5Tweaker v1.5.6
- take a blank CDR disk of one of the
following manufacturers:
- Sony CD-R 700MB 48x
- Philips CD-R 80 Slimcase
- LIFETEC CD-R 80 Premium Silver
- Octron CD-RW 700mb blue
NOTE: The media you use HAS to be fully
clean and completely without any
scratches. Best success percentage
has been attained using media with
a half-green undersurface, silver
ones didn't work for us.
- open BW5Tweaker (note to have the .ini
provided placed in C:\WINDOWS)
- select "panzmax-NCR" profile, click on
run BW and burn without changing any-
thing.
- install CD1-CD3 _FROM CD/DVD DRIVE_,
NOT FROM BURNER!
- run the .exe provided in our archive
and reboot your machine (click yes)
- run Panzers and reboot
- run Panzers and be happy
NOTE: If CD scanning takes more than
about 5 seconds, eject your CD and
try another media to burn
the CD3 image on.
- if you are lucky and Panzers starts
(does for about 70% of the ppl who
tested our workaround) enter the serial
provided in MAX's .nfo
NOTES
We have tested burning with the above
mentioned media, using LITE-ON SOHW-812S,
Pioneer DVR-105 and LG GSA-4040B.
Reading devices are:
Sony CDU611, Toshiba SD-M1502 & XM-6102B
The functionality of this release highly
depends on used media and used READER!
If you have a working copy of CD3 but your
game doesn't start anymore, use the pro-
vided cleaner.exe.

GROUP NOTES
MAX's job here wasn't very good. The image is pretty neat, the
usage information of their .nfo - especially the CDRW thingy - was
crap.
But anyhow thanks to MAX for their clone, thats more work for us ;)
We hope that there are some lucky guys out there wo get this rel
to work like we did (mainly depends on reader and raw media) and
that we helped some ppl with this workaround.
As you will have noticed we packed the bw5tweaker.ini containing
the profiles for our previous release, too. As long a we use BW5
for the workarounds you will have the .ini with all previous
burning profiles in it - as a small goodie from us.

INFORMATIONS
Clone releases should be nuked.
They are most likely not valid and can't be
treated as true scene releases. New groups
trying to bypass copy protections by simply
cloning the media with copy software is one
way, but these releases should work for
everyone then.
They don't.
This is why NCR was born. We want to help
all the sceners out there having problems
with cloned game releases by simply pro-
viding workarounds for getting already
released clones to work for more than fifty
percent of all the sceners out there.
You can help us by joining #NCR
and join the discussion team by providing
helpful information about how to get
upcoming and current clone releases to work.
