how to get the following games to work

[vintagecdromgirl]

i tried it with a CD, but i still has problems on Windows 7, that's why i asked if it had copy-protection

[sparklot]

Doesn't hurt to ask.

BBC Little Robots - trying to crack without original working CD pretty unlikely to happen, apparently too many unknown variables to spoof (Securom 4 uses a lot of horror math). CD appears to be good so it's likely missing the subchannel CloneCD data, but all the protected BBC titles appear to be this way.

(the other BBC titles were easily hackable because they used Macromedia Director which is very easy to break, just find an unprotected director player)

i don't have the original CD though, so strange about Little Robots, so that's the uploader's email?

[sparklot]

The Archive stores the uploader's email in the meta xml file.


EDIT:
Securom 4.8 (Little Robots) and up require Alcohol DPM reading. Measures the topology of the CD like Starforce though timing interpolation.

topology eh?

and the UK version of Bob The Builder Bob Builds a Park is copy-protected too - https://archive.org/details/BobTheBuild ... kUKVersion, but someone found a link to the um, "fixed" exe, i hope the UK versions of the other Bob the Builder games aren't copy-protected too

the link to Little Robots crack on here doesn't work, but this one does - https://web.archive.org/web/20221027153 ... BBBC%5D.7z

is Lego Friends from 1999 copy-protected? (like the version i have uploaded on my archive.org)

[sparklot]

The original Europe / USA retail discs are SafeDisc 1 protected.


Your copy has remnants of SD1 - the exe is unprotected. Some dates show 2003

And this other one has 2002. Although no remnants of SD1.

Both are either re-releases or cracked re-burn homebrews. Couldn't tell you unless pictures were released of actual disc with ring stamp codes. But I have seen re-releases with protection files still there but exe is unprotected.

[vintagecdromgirl]

so what you're saying is, the exe was unprotected? mine was a re-release

[sparklot]

Exe is unprotected. Seems to happen with many non-retail OEM and re-releases from software around that period.

[vintagecdromgirl]

I think Strawberry Shortcake and Her Berry Best Friends is copy-protected too , learned that the heard way, if someone knows of a "fixed" exe it'd be much appreciated

do the downloads for the Winx Club have a "fixed exe" within them too?

My upload doesn't have one.
