Manual unpacking of SafeDisc 2.80.xx
 

Hi!

Does anybody know a Tutorial on unpacking/dumping a Game protected with SafeDisc 2.80.xx?

thx for help

nope no public ones exist.. use the search you'll see why

sometimes you have to learn for yourself :P - tutorials often arent posted about these kinds of things until the protection is updated.

Try with SoftIce, once you've learnt how to hide it from SD then the real **** starts...so far I've had some success attacking SD 2.7x.xx (Before you ask: No, my tools are not public) but due to lack of time I haven't checked out SD 2.80.x.... I've heard some rumours said that they put in some nasty feature..something about "invalid data in the first pre-gap"....hmmm...

Anyone can confirm this?

"invalid data in the first pre-gap"

No, this is only an additional cd-check introduced in Safedisc 2.80.10. Codewise, it is not important (I think).

The-S-Owl : completely wrong.. theres a lot was added code wise
