Sitting in front of my computer I guess it's simpler to download and install two patches rather than enter the next store where to find the un-starforced and patched version of SH3. And it's cheaper too.
 But you mention a valid alternative.

My problem is that I have uninstalled and reinstalled SH3 more times than I can count. I found mine in a store, but Amazon has them very cheap, and with Amazon Prime everything I order gets here in two days.
Oops, I'm sounding like a shill.

Thank You
Sincere thanks to one and all. I've decided to take Sailor Steve's advice and have ordered a new version of SH3 from Amazon. It should arrive tomorrow. Very cheap at £3.59 plus free delivery.
Thanks again. |

I think you'll find it was well worth the price to avoid dealing with DRM hassle - particularly if its something you end up having to reinstall on another rig or OS somewhere down the line.

I have the old starforce riddled disk, and it's not been a problem - especially if you follow Mittelwaechter's concise post. Once you've done it that way you'll (probably) not forget how.
If, however, you do end up getting new disks, don't forget the subsim-amazon link  so this site will benefit from your purchase.
