I think the 2 previous covered me.
However i will just say that groups like Reloaded and others sell Games to the people that pay them.
Then the people that pay them fill entire HDs with games and distribute it around the world far before the games hit the market.
Hell i dont expect them to work for free but since they are doing it for money i dont accept the "free" term.



PS : Program Cracking Groups get paid for the cracking of major programs and not small time ones.
PS2 : We are off topic but i think its something we had to clear.

FYI: I used to crack, and nobody gets paid nadda.


Its the Pirates with access to dumps who sell the stuff etc.


If they sold what they cracked, if found and taken to court, it would be alot worse than what they would have got for just cracking the protections.

Nobody is gonna put themselves in a situation where they would get a huge fine/jail time for selling or profiting.

If I am not mistaken one of the italian leaders for Razor1911 sold what they cracked once and he got busted and all that. I doubt most other cracking groups does that.

Neither was I paid for it. But, mind you, neither of us are professional crackers, capable of defeating the top protections, so our lack of monetary funding proves nothing at all.

The guy from DoD, not Razor1911, DoD was a different area connected to Razor1911.

If I sat down I suppose I could tear apart one.



Im just annoyed that some people that has nothing to do with any groups etc, somehow can spout out that they know they get paid when they dont.

Just annoys me somewhat lol

okay, i think you know who i am... if not pm me, i know for a fact at least 2 of the big teams about oh 2-3 years ago WERE selling slots on ftp sites, WERE paying crackers with laptops and hardware, WERE selling cracks and 'releases' before they were even pre'd... and theres numerous reports of this in the scene, and the the police / fbi / whatnot evidence PROVES this fact... and made a lot of money out of it...

lets do the math.. one team i was in.. and im sure most of you will probably know it (and/or used at least one of the cracks i did)... cracks were sold like this...
safedisc / securom were $200 (i saw this in police reports), starforce and/or custom shit $250, pre-pre releases sold from $3000 upwards depending on the 'expected' popularity of the game, crackers might not have seen the money sure (some definately did, and bragged about it).. 800+ releases.. adds up to a nice little sum... which incidentally, i saw nothing of.. didnt make a penny

In hindsight i wish i never joined the scene, i wish i just cracked the stuff for myself... infact, i wish a lot of things... mostly that what happened never did happen...

so please, lets take the blinkers off....

Jeesus, if that is indeed going on things have changed a hell of a lot.

They are setting themselves up for big time pokey or fines doing that.

You sure it was groups and not the TS admins that were doing that?

Nobody knows each other so what a few people say may be true.
My source was a big pirate web around Europe who were indeed paying BIG cracking groups lots of money in order to get cracked games.
However i knew them 4 years ago and not now since im only getting originals now with the exception of small games like pacman :P

yup, it was definately going on, not the admins, 'seniors' of the group (not the siteops) were involved (in my case) - 4 or so of em, and it happened in other teams too, and yup, definately setting themselves up for big time in the slammer and / or fines, ad i said though this was about 3ish years ago, things may have changed in the scene since (i very much doubt it though), all i can say is ... to anyone thinking of 'joining' the scene, seriously do some research on the team..

You guys know anything of the +1 trainer up on GCW?
Nod32 tells me it's a keylogger..

possibly a false positive, some trainers use dll's for hooking keypresses etc, best scan with another anti virus to cancel out the possiblity of a false positive... its happened a few times on other trainers

NOD32 is right about it but don't worry, it's a benevolent keylogger. :)

Some Help Here
 

Can anyone tell me exactly how to make the game work. For now i am downloading the reloaded version and want to try it before buying. also if i buy the game will it keep on checking for dvd every 10 minutes even if i apply 1.2 patch. ( I think someone mentioned that 1.2 patch doesn't solve this problem.). Thanks

Sounds great, thanks.. Just gonna have to learn to live with the warning popup then.. ^^

Edit: Too bad it doesn't work though..

@supersonu1: Banned, forum rule #1.

confimation requested
 

using the crack fix from reloaded 23-08-2006

in the game, when you enter a station some times you see "game saved"

after i saw this i manually saved again over the autosave file
i did this everytime and no funny things so far
later i made the autosave.dss file read only.

anybody how can confirm this.

I just finished the game and i can say it left me surprised....I gathered all of the artifacts and i still had 8 upgrades remaining...
Anyways after you finish the last Big Blue Enemy you can still play the game but without a storyline..
Nice :)

No DVD still asks for dvd
 

OK so im a lazy bast.
When I run the new exe it still asks for my original.
I have put darkstarone.exe , darkstarone.org and voyager.dll all in c:\programfiles\darkstarone or am i missing a location somewhere.
I have tried the search function but nothing is found.

Thanks for any help and btw HI

:confused:

Newest NoDVD crack (I use these all the time as once any of my games are installed i hate having to hunt for cds/dvds)

Argh.
Am i a fool or is it just something stupid. I wanna get this crack to work. I unzipped the file, but when i wanted to coppy them into the game folder. It refused to coppe the exe file ino the game folder. Said something like i didnt have the athority to do so. i scanned it and dindnt find any viruses. I downloaded it from different sites and it still doesnt work.

Make sure you have administrator rights. (Although this is usually needed for doing anything useful - e.g. playing a game - anyway... :))

Wel ofcourse. But i can do all other things. I should have full admistrator right. I can delete all other files. I open any other aplication, instal stuff, play games, uninstal other stuff. Its making me go nuts.

Hmmm, file access on NTFS drives goes really crazy, when you use files that have created on another machine. (E.g. you take an NTFS-formatted mobile hard disk to your friend and carry files home via that.) Grab the ownership back to yourself.

For English Windows XP: right-click on the game directory, select "Sharing and Security", go to the "Security" tab, press "Advanced", go to the "Owner" tab, select your user from the "Change owner to:" list, enable "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects" and press a few OK's. Did that help?
