Joe Forster/STA is on a distinguished road
Let me explain (supposing that I did understand it correctly! ):

- First came the Japanese crack which, as I read it here, works correctly with non-Japanese versions of the game, too.

- Next, Volkswagen stole the Japanese crack. It is identical, only a few bytes differ!

- Next came modiXvoORn, with a similar internal patch as the Japanese crack (some API calls redirected to a small set of routines, starting at offset $0F00 in the executable), but for both the Japanese and non-Japanese versions. I've been using the non-Japanese version from this one and it worked fine for me so far.

- Then came Reloaded, with a clean crack: decrypted executable, no internal patches.

I suggest you try the last two.

Joe
