thats because its hard to detect tages, try doing a sector scan on the cd/dvd, it might show up then... tages is 'stealth like' when it comes to detection

noscript, the exe you uploaded is really Tages protected.
The api "DeviceIoControl" is used to call the tages device driver.

the ep of the exe is Microsoft Visual C++ 7.0 but it has custom checks to call the driver wich identifies the original disc.

this version of tages isn´t worth supporting as only Beyond Good & Evil and XIII are using it.

But it would have saved me hours of cracking time *lol*
@tippex: I did a sector scan as you can see in my previous post.

v5.1e is ready to download

- added: SecuROM 7.26 detection
- added: SecuROM 7.xx.xxxx subversions (tested on 90+ executables)
- added: Safedisc seperated detection for v4.50 & v4.60 in executables without version string
- added: Laserlok build detection for v5
- added: Starforce v4 detection inside protect.exe
- added: NSPack v3.3 & v3.5 detection
- added: Armadillo v4.48 detection
- improved: Laserlok Marathon detection
- improved: CodeLok detection
- fixed: Protect DiSC v6.2 build number bug

this build mainly focuses on improving the SecuROM detection, making other detections more generic & faster and improving some code here and there...

*updated file*
when i uploaded the file i checked the Caesar IV Demo wich is the recent SecuROM 7.26.0007 and quickly added this detection too ;)

:D

special thx to all the people involved into the progress of Protection ID,
you know who you are ;)

Without your help PID would never have become this advanced.

Not without you, that's sure :P
mwahahaha

Just curious, what's v6 doing atm ? Still in progress or development stopped ?

just came back from GamesConvention 2006, played Stalker & Crysis (Singleplayer + LAN), seen latest UT2007 ingame footage, Stranglehold...

best of the show: playing Quake Wars: Enemy Territory on LAN against the developers at Splash Damage :P
wow this game looks so amazing and got the highest level of team based gameplay i´ve seen yet. we played as Stroggs vs. GSF (12:12) in an assault like level with multiple objects for each team: defending bridge, placing mobile turrets & rocket launchers, hack computer, place bomb etc... the level shown included all 5 classes of the stroggs + all their weapons & vehicles. it was just amazing to play this beauty, multiplayer goty award for sure :D

...back to topic ;)
v6.0 is doing fine, but there will be some more v5.1´s first to help keeping users up to date.

@cdkiller
Yep, now I am really jealous of you!! :D

You lucky bugger! :p

(Um just incase the word 'bugger' gets lost on you, its nothing bad. ;) )

depends if you're the bugger-er or the bugger-ee :)

@TippeX
The word 'bugger' has many meanings in Australia but I surely didnt mean it in the sense you have mentioned. lol

For example:

When I say "What a lucky bugger" i am really saying you are a very lucky person and I am jealous. :)

If I was to put a small dent in my car I would say "Oh bugger", which would loosely translate to "Oh shit!!" lol

If I was to say, "That TippeX is a really nice old bugger" that would be.........well calling you old! lol (which i have no idea if you are or not :p )
But calling you a "nice....bugger" would not be a bad thing. ;)

If I was to make a mistake fixing the small dent in my car I would say "shit I just 'buggered' that up!!" :)

If someone was annoying me I would say "bugger off!" Now that can also be taken 2 ways:
1. F...k off! (In a bad sense)
2. Go away! (more in a fun sense)

Hmmm, I am sure some other Aussies will come up with some more meanings for the word but then that would be totally 'Off Topic' for this thread now wouldnt it. :)

But honestly, I would never tell cdkiller to bugger off or use the word towards him in a bad sense, only in the humerous sense, and he knows that. :)

So on that note I might just bugger off. :D

heh agreed, we use the bugger thing in uk too, confuses tons of ppl, and you're probably younger than me :)

just found a bug in the SecuROM scan, detecting latest Titan Quest Patch as SecuROM 7.21 wich is of course wrong. it´s newest 7.26.0010 and has already been fixed for the next version 5.1f.

yeah, i never knew the real meaning of the word till now ;)
