freshly homemade update. tested with retail dvd version = works 100% enjoy :)
http://rapidshare.com/files/4804718/Scarface.v1.00.2.Cracked.Update-MACiOZO.rar
lemme guess, activemark / trymedia again? :)
LOL, I'm not very inventive in this category :) But it works & that counts the most. ActiveMARK is definetely my favourite protection :rolleyes:
And this is why this will be removed.
Activemark is not liked here, for obvious reasons.
@dabhand: I dont understand your post? He is able to crack activemark and it works. Normally reloaded does not care about updates for their cracked games. That's why there will be no real cracked update from the scene that targets the Securom Prot.
So I think cracking active mark protection for game updates that would otherwise stay uncracked is possible I think.
For the "real" scene this is forbidden but gcw is not the "real" scene ;)
chron, you've said it all :) i don't really care about the scene & it's rules. i can only invite you to see my fix & launch something like regmon - you'll see this release has activemark blinded (no browser or registry crap) & license routine activated. cheers ;)
@Muyfa666: np, i can live with that :) enjoy your game.

maciozo: Great work. Even thou your cracks are not considered "real" by the scene they have helped me out with many a great game. Keep up the good work! :-)
I own the german retail release of scarface.
The #1 crack released didnīt work... (See other scarface thread here in fileforums - the patch blew the menu/ingame texts and so on)
As there is no german v1.0.0.2 out there (or at least I didnīt find one) I tried to install the _en-patch. It refuses because itīs only for the us release.
So I unpacked the patch and found only some installer data, a splash screen, a new scarface.exe and a file named patch01.rcf.
Looking at Maciozoīs crack it also contains these two files (scarface.exe & patch01.rcf).
So I copied Maciozoīs release to my german retail installation of scarface. Game starts, menu was okay. Entered the game... Works for a few minutes and then crashed my whole system - instant reboot.
And, why does GCW states to "apply patch v.1.0.0.2" first, when all the files installed by the patch are replaced afterwards within the crack? So patching it seems to be pretty useless. Kay, I think, the stuff didnīt check this. So please take it as a hint, not as criticism.
And, to come to an end... Someone heard something about a german update patch of scarface? Maybe with a localized patch? (Please, if this is against rule #6, please ignore this request /and/or mods please erase it)
Thnx in advance.
EDIT:
DaemonTools V4.0.8 + YASU V1.03 + good DPM = Working!
So no crack needed for me @ this stage ^^
EDIT 2:
So I copied Maciozoīs release to my german retail installation of scarface. Game starts, menu was okay, BUT ENGLISH!
@HaGaR: Thanks for your detailed information. It looks like it's a language-specific problem. If ActiveMARK isn't fixed properly the game will crash right after movies or some load screens or even won't start. Maybe it's also the fault of the different patch data file incompatible with your german ones. If a german patch comes, try exchanging the GCF file with patched data. You're welcome to post your results anytime.
And BTW - great job on SafeDisc 3.2-4 tute, but please post screenshots next time ;) Greetz!

Well yeah... Thought I missed something ^^
LOL, sorry m8, i always had problems with double letters :D :D
Nice work maciozo!
The update still doesn't allow us to remap the damn keyboard though, where are the scan codes stored so I can change WSAD to the up/down/left/right arrow keys?

You will see why I said what i said in the next post after this one.

Well Activemark is a license checking protection. If it has activemark blindesided so is the License check.
Which means people can then get the game for free. And hence why im suprised no mod has closed and edited the link.
this often works for online games with normal cracks too (if they dont use virtual filesystem or file encryption).
For Example gamesload.

nada, the crack isn't compatible with the game edition you can get for free. the version i've cracked has protected download and it cannot be obtained by people who haven't paid for the digital download. thus you can leave the worries behind. pm if you still have doubts :rolleyes:
And may I ask how did you figure this out, that it doesnt work?
See the problem is this.
If it works on retail, why not the downloadable version also?
It just stinks is all. And I thought the downloadble version is the Activemark protected one.
You've misunderstood. There are 2 digital download versions of this game. Both are protected by ActiveMARK. The other one (which can be downloaded by anyone) is protected by different version of protection so the crack doesn't work on it. Please PM me if you want more details according to this game & protection itself - I can't write those here for obvious reasons.
I also think that a working crack is better than no crack at all.
But the Retail isnt activemark, so why does it work for that?
Its just a bit too silly.
If I was the publisher I would make sure at least that the digital versions executables wouldnt work with the retail for obvious reasons.
So did they make a boo-boo?
But hey :P
Interested on what you did with the activemark protection/wrapping.. You can send a PM if you want.
The reason the Activemark EXE works on the retail is it's the same EXE just wrapped up in Activemark!
Also, a cracked Activemark EXE may not work on it's own Download version! Why? Because if the vendor has compressed any data files using the Activemark SDK, removing the Activemark protection also removes the ability to decrypt those data files, so the EXE won't work.
So a cracked Activemark EXE has more chance of running on a retail game than the download game it came from.
Now we can all here just thank you that you generously decided NOT be the publisher ;) :D
Heh, publisher goofs happen very often lately. And believe me, the "boo-boo" with ActiveMARK is really nothing special. Hitman Blood Money, Xpand Rally, F.E.A.R. - all the cracked updates have been based on ActiveMARK.
AM cracks don't always work - especially if the game was protected by StarForce before. This happens because of the encrypted resources which a cracked AM exe cannot read. Crack works however with most protections because it's like a unpacked unprotected exe + some AM shit which always lasts. So why not use it ? ;)
I can't see the problem with an ActiveMark crack. Ok it works with the retail but so does every other crack uploaded to GCW. In todays world of internet anyone can obtain a game for free if they really want to and there is not much we can do to stop it.
However for legal customers cracks can be very sweet, I use them myself a lot whenever I can. I love my games but I'm too lazy to put in cd's all the time and image's ain't my thing.
As long as it works I am happy, no matter if it was Safedisc, Seucrom or activemark protected to start with. It works for me and that makes me happy.
I forgot about SFFS, Activemark cracks will be useless for those as the SF protection deals with decrypting them, like AM does.
Also, most download games need to be purchased beforehand, so having an AM crack still doesn't let you 'play for free'!"

Just wrapped?
not exactly. it is a wrapped exe, but obfuscated and integrated with activemark overlay. as far as i see there is no method to FULLY remove activemark to produce a virgin exe (you can strip many unuseful datas & imports though).
I was wondering, I was about to say thats a pretty useless protection if its only wrapped hehehe.
Well if you have the original game and the OEP you could easily dump each section, .rdata etc and rejoin and fix the header.
not quite that easy, then you have to 'pop' the files from the virtual file system (if used), fix api redirects and fix up other bits of code that have been mangled..
but all protections are essentially wrappers anyway..
the key problem is dumping - it's not easy to produce a 100% compatible dump, especially to make it work under legacy system. and also comes patching. but the more you crack, the faster & the better you do it. check out another one which will be here soon ;)
I guess my use of 'wrapper' was a bit loose! As TippeX/maciozo have stated, it's more complex than a simple wrapper!
Hello, !HaGaR!
I have the same problem that you had... Would you please explain me how to solve it? It's realy important to me... I need to patch for scarface, so I can use a joystick (without the patch, it's not possible)
My e-mail is :
[email protected]
Thank's for any help!
PS bin selber deutscher...
Sorry, I dind'nt realy understand what you all said... My english is'nt really goot.
As I said, I need a patch to solve the vision problem by playing with a joystick. Normaly solved with the patch 1.002. Your's did'nt solve the problem neither. That's why I asked how it's possible to start the game without crack??
Please help..... :(
Hi Andolo.
Please check your private messages as I replied in german to you.
Grx
Edit: Check your internal private board messages; not your msn mail-account!
All right so please if anyone can help me with this once again...
I Downloaded Hitman Blood money trial, the activemark one(i guess) and i tried really all the cracks and all the patches i found so far, but all the time i can just start the game and it crashes when it loads
So i found this file, got it but there was just three files, i started the scarface.exe but it just displayed some error because of missing file...
So if i am right, there is no way of cracking trial game so far?
So you're trying to crack a trial download of Hitman Blood Money using a crack for Scarface?
1. You're a warez thief.
2. You're Stupid.
3. You're Reported.
4. You're Banned.
