Spiderman - Web of Shadows (workaround!!!!)

Using old crack version will not fix the issues that the patch fix.

You have to use a new version crack!

Although, I do not have this game and cannot really tell you about its protection mechanism, I can give you a very brief advice on how to recognize whether a crack for an older executable works with a patched version or not.
Take a look at the size of the cracked executable. If it's something smaller than 100kb, then it's very likely that it might work with newer versions, because such a small file size indicates that the original exe-file does not contain any useful information for the ingame-functions. In contrast, it only points to some other file, that hosts all the important ingame-information. One example: Far Cry (the first one), where the cracked exe-file has a file size of roughly 40kb but can be used almost universally with all versions of the game.

Wrong and Wrong.

Just because the executable is smaller doesnt mean if patched an older cracked executable would work 100%, things may have changed, when an executable is less than 100kb in size it is usually a loader.

But not all the time, even small executables can contain the necessary game coding and it just uses dll files for the rest.

GCW points to the following link for discussion on conversion of DVD9 to DVD5 for the Spiderman game:

Spider-Man: Web of Shadows DVD9-2-2xDVD5 Conversion


However, that link is dead. And doing a search only gives three threads. Could someone give me correct link. Thanks.

hey I did what you told and when I click play, with the new or old launcher it says "cannot find dvd rom. select ok and restart the application". The same with the cracked Spiderman web of shadows.exe
