Angry B & W Creature Isle.

Anyone know why I can't copy Black & White Creature Isle?

I managed to make a perfect back-up of Black and White using BetaBlocker and CloneCD but cannot get a perfect or even nearly perfect copy of Creature Isle. Both use the SafeDisk 2.51 protection as far as I'm aware but I'm getting nowhere.

I'm using a Mitsumi 4802 TE writer and the latest version of CloneCD on Win '98.

Any help or ideas would be great.

Brian.

I just used isobuster and extracted the whole game to a temp folder and included the no-cd crack from gamecopy and it worked perfectly!

Exclamation Black and White - Creature Isle

I just managed to copy Creature Isle using:

- Blindread ( to get an image of the cd )
- Insektors ( to change the image file + play tricks on cd-check )
- Blindwrite ( to get that manipulated image back on cd )
- Ricoh MP7200A (to insert the CD-R )

This copy works perfectly...but ...
i would like to get completely rid of this cd-check routine and i
spent hours and hours using W32DASM (Disassembler) and
searching for that error message:
(Please insert the correct cd-rom ....blah blah)

but i can't find it in the main executable (CreatureIsle.exe)


When i start searching for it with the "String Data references"
option (in W32DASM) i only get 5 results with non readable crap
...instead of finding the right line to change the jump-
command into 9090909090 ..this is really annoying !!

Does anyone have an idea what i'm doing wrong ??
...every suggestion is welcome !!

No, i mean that you cant see anything in the "String Data References" because of the Anti-Debugging routines in Safedisc. Try disassembling a Safedisc protected .exe and the same .exe nonprotected. Youll see the difference.

Yep. And while you go into your multiple years of cracking, could you code a generic SDv2.51 tool?
