I've got files that the scaner are saying I'm having Cd-checks wich I'm not having...

this bug can´t be fixed.
cause it scans for cd-checks strings, wich are always in there.
in normal files and also in nocd files :(

it get´s even better with every future release :)
now the nasty SecuROM bug is also fixed !

v1.3
-----
* added scanning for CD-Checks in cracked Safedisc - Executables by Fairlight (their releases are often protected with CD-Checks !)
* able to detect if a cracked Safedisc - Executable was cracked by Deviance / Fairlight / GimpsRus / MYTH
* able to detect if a cracked SecuROM - Executable was cracked by Deviance / Fairlight / GimpsRus / MYTH
* fixed some lines in SecuROM detection code (found SecuROM 4.xx.xx in a SecuROM unwrapped file is now fixed)

I've gonna test it right away ;)

new release :)

v1.4
-----
* added Support for CD Lock protected files (Tomb Raider 3)
* improved scanning speed for Deviance / Fairlight / GimpsRus / MYTH Tags in Safedisc / SecuROM Executables (only scanning PE-Header)
* improved Safedisc scanning speed (50% faster now)
* added scanning for CD-Checks in cracked SecuROM - Executables by Fairlight
* fixed Scanning for CD-Checks in Fairlight Releases didn´t work properly
* scanning for 2 more CD-Check strings:
- "cdcheck" (Dungeon Siege)
- "NEED CD" (Soldier of Fortune 2)

Okay very god that's you are searching for CD-checks and safedisc. I have been waithing for that along time :p
But I have found a bug. And I don't know if a bug U can fix (again) but how ever it is a little bit a bug that's should be fix very soon (if it's can). I was scanning a program yes I'm testing program compabitly, how ever. It says it's no CD-Check! File is only protected with SafeDisc. And it's not protected with SafeDisc. Not your other version has said so. So there most be a bug or something. Hope I've been a little bit of help!
:D

Edit:
I found out the thing!
If the scanner doesn't found any protections, it's says is protected with SafeDisc. Becuase it's scan for the CD-Check first. Be out with a 1.5 version quick man ;)

I've tested some installation file in Windows 98 and a nother program and Word 2000. Try it for your self.
And I've tested to scan you own program. First I make a copy becuase it's cannot scan when I'm running it, how ever Windows is doing a forbidden thing or error or what U call it. So U got some works to do ;)
How ever a very god idea of the program and I've like it sence the begining. Hope I have been a help ;)
Sheers :)

"If the scanner doesn't found any protections, it's says is protected with SafeDisc" -> this is wrong -> it says: no protection
(next version will have a better safedisc / safecast detection.)

what file did you scanned ?
can u send it per mail so that i can have a look inside ?

If I could I would. But this is the thing. I can't send I don't have so much mail space.

But I've tested many programs, .dll and .dat and it's says the same thing. If it's not found any Cd-Cheks.
But I do know that's im was using windows 98SE. Iäm gonna try in Windows XP
If there still problems. Maybe I send pictures of the message ;)

i know this bug. it has already been fixed.
i´ve sent you the 1.5 BETA.

- detection for safecast
- support for older VOB Protect CD versions
- bugfixes

just compiled ;)

NEW BUG!
Well know I've tested the unwarped CIv3 1.29F and it's says it isn't unwarp. It did in 1.4 and then ask my for scaning for CD-checks.
That prompt the image that I'v mailed U.
So the 1.4 is batter then 1.5 BETA :/

But it's fix Civ3 - Play the world 1.21F .exe error and all files that's don't contains any protection.

do u mean this file ?
Civilization 3 v1.29f ENG_gimpsRus - no CD

i´ll check it out. will be fixed as soon as possible.

No I mean I've cleaned with SafeDisc cleaner 1.2.
With the 1.4 it's says it's find SafeDisc but it has been unwarped do U wanna search for CD-Checks.

But in 1.5 BETA is the same message that I'm was mailing U. So U kind of replace the old "unwarp find" message with the other one. :/

yes i know this. i will contact bools eye for help.

version 1.5 released :)

* support for Armadillo (Gothic 2)
* support for Safecast (Midtown Madness 2 Jukebox Patch)

U are one hell of the guy ;) *hehehe*
You own program was "protected with safe disc 3422007.1954051187.3422007!
But the proctection has been unwarped."
How du U do that? :p protected your own program with higher protection then the creater do self.
And U have done a unwaper :p. Please sher it with meee... :p

No im just kidding. But U have a bug. I did a copy of your program and scan your own program (the copy one) with the original. And the message pop up. Nice bug ;)

yes there can happen funny things,
when scanning the Protection_ID.exe ;)

maybe i will inlcude some lines of code
that you cant scanProtection_ID.exe

it´s not easy in these days with a website offering gamecracks...
my site has been taken down again.

If you want to know, the protection ID bug with longhorn is erase. Seams that microsoft has fix it. Im looking for alternativ for my testreport. Its take about 1.5 MB with PDF and 1.4 with max compressed rar. So I working hard to see what format I can do. I alsways can have the .doc format, but I dont know... will see about that.. ;p

so i can write in my messgeBox that it has been successfully tested in Windows Longhorn ? ;)

Yepp! build 4008 ;)
The earlier version sucks!
Okay I can run the program and one thing it can do that other can't it can open your program. It's can scan your .exe file when I'm running it. In other version it's say error open the .exe file. And then I did a copy the it goes.
but funny thing longhorn have.

I have not scan any other files then your protecion ID. And it's works.

But funny thing that now you have both have unwarped high SafeDisc version and CD-Checks ;)

@ Krondike: please update your Mirror !

on lunch at monday the mirror for BETA 3 should be able...

Soon I get a paid host....for the forum and the mirrors and stuff like that.. :D
YEAH!

The mirror is updated send to you.
But I've found a bug.
Most of the SecuRom protected .exe file and are cracked, the new protection ID say that are still protected with SecuRom.

tested RCT2 and Championschip Manager 4 1.03 .exe file... so.....maybe that's a bug?

thats a problem with cracked SecuROM executables
by Immersion wich cannot be fixed.

Immersion is a group wich don´t kill the SecuROM sections inside the exe and they also dont have any Tags like "iMS" in SecuROM EXEcutables.

How about....find out what they do, search for what they do, and if it's match, say that is cracked by the group! :D
YEEAH! Much easier to tell how...insted of doing that.. :p well well...I can live with that...=)
