how to get the following games to work

[shadowcat]

Can't explain why it worked, but I'm happy that it did. The nocd was good exercise for me.


Likely another basic Director CD check. I'll try breaking into it.


EDIT:
Caillou - Four Seasons of Fun - nocd

Code: Select all

Copy "<CD>\Source Files" folder to <install>

is the 1997 Trivial Pursuit CD-ROM copy-protected

Yikes! 16-bit Windows app. I don't have dosbox 3.1 to try it for awhile.

[vintagecdromgirl]

sorry

with Blue's Clues Blue Takes You to School, there's a part with that crack that comes up with a blue screen saying to insert disk

Copied the DATA files to HDD and copied the Securom 4.8 crack. Played around some bit with activities. How to trigger the protection nag?

i can't remember how the protection nag was triggered, but i think it was clicking on the user's personal something (not in the sign-in screen)

[vintagecdromgirl]

i think Walking with Beasts Operation Salvage is copy-protected too...

[vintagecdromgirl]

and Charlotte's Web Wilbur and Friends (aka Charlotte's Web Discovery Farm) might be copy-protected...not sure, if anyone can confirm this, it'd be much appreciated

Just a notice that my snooze is off and I'll try catching up here. I hope that BBC title isn't SecuRom because my tool broke sometime ago. :ugh:


EDIT: Walking with Beasts Operation Salvage = there's SafeDisc protection files. I was able to install, copy "Start WWB - Operation Salvage.exe" to install directory. Copy xtras\*.dll to install directory. Clicked the Start WWB.exe and seemed okay.

Start WWB Pre-cracked = MYTH/DEViANCE. SafeDisc 2.40 signature in file also. I have to wonder though if a generic crack can be used, being Macromedia Director. I'll look into this another time.


EDIT2: Charlotte's Web is SafeDisc 4.60. Yeowie. I'd hope that the nocd works.


EDIT3: Had to use A-ray Scanner on the CDs. That tool is usually reliable on figuring out any protectors.

EDIT4: Blue's Clues. Have to try this again - I wouldn't be surprised if a hidden cd nag bomb was in there.

@shadowcat, what does "Start WWB Pre-cracked = MYTH/DEViANCE. SafeDisc 2.40 signature in file also." mean?

[vintagecdromgirl]

and is Star Wars Episode I Racer copy-protected at all?

[shadowcat]

Don't know if I'll get a chance to look at Blues anytime - a bunch of costly bad problems happened, and I didn't feel good about any of them.

Walking with Beasts Operation Salvage (archive copy) is pre-cracked with a nocd by MYTH / Deviance. Turns out it uses SafeDisc 2.40 protection.

I assume Episode I is not protected from reading here

(can't check since I'm on a public computer; mine got blown up by a super malware and obliterated the OS system + recovery)

sorry about your super malware problem , i will try Star Wars Epsidoe I Racer at some stage...maybe you're right about that one not having copy-protection at all

According to redump, the European ones may have BitPool or SecuROM
