The crack by ACT didn't work for me also (on XP when I tried it in 2006 when it was released).

[annoyment]

So, uh, ACT is either botched or a backup? Wondering how it's still not nuked Probably depends for the SF drivers to be installed first before overwriting the EXE, IDK...

Thanks a lot for your hard work, RhymeKidder! For a while i thought, that US version will be doomed forever, fortunately i was wrong Btw, maybe you could help me with solving puzzle with PC version of WW/T2T? Long ago i researched a bit PSP version of Revelations (WW) and Rival Swords (T2T) saves, and wrote crappy . PSP version uses internal API encryption for saves (and it's possible to disable on emulators), but in PC version saves contains additinal CRC32-like checksum, which using for save integrity, and i have no idea, how to bypass/generate it Thanks in advance!

Screenshot from WW PC version with different CRC blocks:


with different timer values.
, which i was using for list above.

RhymeKidder, thank you! Since i'm not very familiar with asm and revesing stuff, i asked friend for a bit help So, the most simple way is to replace "je" -> "jmp" instruction at 00429CA9 to bypass integrity verification, which works perfect Also, same instruction was successfully found and patched in pop2.exe Finally, another "long-term" goal seems becoming reality

Edit: additional little to make game a bit more uncensored - it removes annoying "light beam" effect, when prince hit sand monsters. Gameplay demo .

Btw, is anybody interested in game resources researching/modding? I did some researching (and wrote little article in russian, which i could translate, if someone really interested in it), and even managed to do very simple/basic mods(hacks), but unfortunately, due to lack of experience more harder stuff is unreachable for me atm

[RhymeKidder]

You'd best try here. Lots of people.

A gamer asked me about a video - Kindred Blades skin mod for T2T
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6VjVbKTxck

Would anyone happen to know more about this?

[RhymeKidder]

Hmm.. okay. Interesting research. Thanks.

If KB skin mod pops up somewhere for dl, I'll mention it here for anonymous gamer.

My 200th waste of space, yippie! Here's a detailed testing report...
Grabbed the trial demo from AL (@ T-Online) via Wayback Machine (that option still works, might as well fix the links ) plus the final NoCD. Then made a leap of faith and upgraded to WIN 10!?! The trial demo has SF ProActive and five languages for setup so I presume the trial is also EU. Doesn't work on host 10 and guest VMware XP SP2, tried host XP SP2 (still have this crap ), works only up to the activation screen (gives me hardware code but no S/N on manual, no internets on the desktop so IDK, not wanna do it auto ). Tested the final NoCD (thanks again mate ), works nicely, except with some unstable polygon glitching issues (flickering grass at the start and at times too much sands laying down, dunno if it's exactly that or perhaps at any given point in time of the sitting that the issue occurs due to memory overload) and still crashing @ prtscr, plus a little weird head physics during speed kills. Other than that you've PWNd the internet
One note though, during the whole part before the first sand monsters were met, is it hardcoded that the gore (decap etc) is disabled on human enemies (thought of it being due to the "improper blade", but also happens with the time slicer for a little while longer )?
