Tomb Raider III
Introduction...
Today , we will speak about CD check on Tomb3 !!! (editor said : good protected ..)
This game is protected against copy because there is 4 files of 600 Mo !
4*600= 2400Mo !
A CD-R isn't greater then 650 Mo so , it is impossible but there is a problem !
the original CD of Tom3 contains 3Go !!!
like nothing is impossible , i will explain u how to copy it and how to crack it !!!
About the protection...
A Stupid Cd check with check of files ....
The Essay...
So , let's go !!
the 4 files are : Awcs.afp ; Neir.afp ; Oket.afp et Vfaw.afp.
For duplicate tomb 3 , we have to copy on you hard drive all the files of the cd except the four !!!
then create 4 files with the same name , and put them in the directory where you copy the CD
before !
open this files and put 1 caracter in it !! just 1 octet !
now we can record tomb 3!!
but the game won't work because it is protected yet !!
Now , it is Time to crack !!!
We are playing with a cd check !!! and the game tell us : " Tomb Raider III CD ?"
We will kick this shit !!!
if you have already cracked with wdasm , you will think : "i will search this phrase in String
data references and crack it !!" but we can't found it !!! :(
So we are in crap !!
lets think a few ?
we have got 4 files , and we kicked them why not looking at this files ?
and in String data reference we see : d:\Awcs.afp , d:\Neir.afp , d:\Oket.afp et d:\Vfaw.afp.
Yeah !!!! i think it is a good thing !
we will try on the first!
Double click on it and we are in Wdasm ! we press up with the scroll bar and we found :
the jne (Jump if not equal) do the jump if it can't find the file with 600 Mo we change it in je (jump if equal) and now , the prog jump when it found the file !! it can always search !!
it will never find it because , now it is equal to 1 octet !
Ok ! now just edit in hex the tomb3 file and search for 85FF756568D4 and replace it by 85FF746568D4 . now , save the files !
the jne 0048D2CE is now Je 0048D2CE.!!!
Now , we have to do the same on other files (d:\Neir.afp , d:\Oket.afp et d:\Vfaw.afp) the 2 first will be like the first , but the last (D:\Vfaw.afp) isn't the same !
we don't care of the last , there is nothing to change !
so, if you do the same thing on the 2 others files , you have done this :
- for "Neir.afp":
0F85F9000000 by 0F84F9000000 ===> 85 (jne) becomes 84 (je)
- for "Oket.afp":
0F85AD000000 by 0F84AD000000 ===> 85 (jne) becomes 84 (je)
- nothing for "Vfaw.afp"
now , you have to save the change with an hexeditor!!
when it is finish , you just have to run the game !!!
the Game work good !!! with a CD-R !!!
ToMB RAiDER III is Now Cracked !!!
notes :
if you want to save the change with the hexeditor , you must save the file with another name because it is used by Wdasm and it is write protected !!
ex: save it with Tomb.exe then close Wdasm and rename it with Tomb3.exe !
voila ! it is finish for this tutor ! I hope you learn something in this !!!
Happy Cracking and have FuN ! :)
