@ Eagle
time to update your mirror

Can I ask you... HAVE RAZOR 1911 and R!SC coperate?
Becuase when you unwarping with unsafedisc 1.3.3-> the RAZOR 1911 taging are in the .exe file.
And when you scan with Protection ID it's found the RAZOR 1911.

Any way, and when you delete those tag (will not say ;p) it's cannot find R!SC tag.... why haven't to you make it scan for R!SC tag? Isn't/where he/they a big and good crack/cracker? :confused:

Who knows :) But R!sc implemented a random tagger in his tool,
therefore you're not getting the same tag everytime you use the unwrapper.

First, it's ****ing lame to remove the tags just because you want to claim that you have cracked the game. That is plain bs cause you've only used someone elses hardcoded tool(s) to auto-remove the crap. Well, I guess CDkiller can pick the tags outta the USD source and include it in his tool (a very nice one :) )

R!sc is still a very good cracker, but this starts to look like some "scene"- discussion, which might end up with wareztalk..
And I don't want the mods to kickban my sweet, shiny ass
:D

lol i just received that mail:

--------------------------
@ krondike

sure r!sc is on of the bests crackers around there.
but please stop talking about 'scene happenings' in this
PUBLIC forum...

--------------------------
@bytemare

won´t happen, coz u bring a lot of fun into this forum ;)

OMG!! Jeez, that must be one of the funniest things I have read here...

Bet the customer is Macrovision or Sony:D Maybe you should sell it to them with some EULA like "you are allowed to used this on copyprotected disc (i.e Macrovison Safe****, Sony Sexxurom). If you do, you must ask the companies to remove the protection first)..yeah, you know the drill..

haha it becoms even more funny with this mail :D
