Ecstatica 1, Martian Gothic and The Suffering

[Karthik 2.0]

Hey guys,

This is my first post so don't ban me, stretch me, burn me and kill me okay?! Anyway, let's get down and dirty. I was wondering if anyone know has a no-cd crack for Ecstatica 1(not part 2) CD version. And the next game is Martian Gothic. I know version 1.0 is cracked but I was wondering if anyone here have a no-cd for version 3.0.

And the last question is about The Suffering....it's not regarding if there's a crack for 1.1 but why is the copy protection listed incorrectly?! I thought The Suffering uses StarForce copy protection NOT cd check. Anyone can confirm this?! :confused:

When i remember right, Martian Gothic is protected with Safedisc1.
So download Unsafedisc 1.55 and create your own Crack for your game.

My Ecstatica 1 game does not have any protection. But it is Floppy-Disk-Version (not CD-Version).

Martian Gothic is just a CD Check, I've sent a NoCD for Patch #3 to GCW!

The Suffering is Safedisc 3 protection.

As for Ecstatica, never played it and a brief search of various sites didn't turn up any NoCD's :(

I found a file that might help you, but I can't test it coz I don't own the game. If it works, I'll send it to GCW.

Please remember I don't own this game, so I can't test if the crack works or not!!

Hey ILL_BILL,

That Ecstatica "crack", whose URL you wrote above, is, actually, a walkthrough of the game in Russian... :D

Just trying to help, didn't know what it was... since I don't speak russian and I found this on a russian site :)

Ah well, thanks anyway! :p

By the way, are you guys aware that Ecstatica is a DOS Game?! Does that mean cracking it will be hard?!

[Joe Forster/STA]

Hey Karthik,

Nope, actually, most DOS games are easier to crack than most Windows games... :) Back then, there were a couple of _very_ nasty custom protections for DOS games but I have the feeling (no, I could never crack any of them! :D ) that they were a lot less sophisticated than today's commercial protections for Windows games...

I see.
Hey you're living in Hungary?! Are you near Digital Reality's building?!

[Joe Forster/STA]

Hi Karthik,

Dunno who Digital Reality is. Also, while Hungary is not a large country, it's still 93.000 square kilometres. So... :D Seriously, they work in Budapest, I live and work in Budapest but that's all. And, no, I'm not interested in Haegemonia or other strategy games... :D

Dang! :(

Edit: Hey Barry, about the martian Gothic patch...where do I put the inventory.gfx file?!

Edit: Hey Barry, about the martian Gothic patch...where do I put the inventory.gfx file?!

You mean you didn't read the 'readme.txt' file :confused: It goes in the same directory as the 'martian gothic.exe' file.

I just wanted to be sure cause I see most of the gfx file are in the data directory.
Dumb question but didn't anyone realize that Martian Gothic patch 3 was released?!
