C&C: The first Decade crack search

[kosmiq]

Hi all!

I am currently investigating if old cracks will work with the modifed versions of the games in TFD pack.

Problem is GCW currently hosts very little cracks for C&C games. So this is a cry for help.

If you happen to have cracks for the following games please PM me:
Tiberian Sun: 2.03
Yuri's Revenge: 1.001
Generals: 1.8

the progress of my testing and some other information I have gathered can be found in this thread: http://www.fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=75394

Note:
I know there's a patcher for Tiberian Sun that does some cracking on the existing files. It is a small file (50kb or something like that). That one is however NOT working on this version of Tiberian Sun because the .exe file has been updated to Safedisc 4.60. However I am suspecting that replacing it with an old .exe file that the patcher works on will let the game start without the disc inserted.

So if anyone has the files to those games cracked (.exe's, dll's, whatever needs protection removal on them) I would be very happy if you could PM me so we can work something out.

Note2: Yes I own the package but using that DVD is PiA. Also all games does not work from image for me (unless I use SD4Hide wich I hate to use).

Have you searched megagames? i remember getting my tib sun crack from there a while back (not sure what version it was tho).

Hey, I'm kind of a noob to this sort of thing and I was wondering... Does anyone have/know of/can make a mini-image for C&C TFD? I've tried making one myself but I don't think alcohol likes my DVD drive :S

I'd just use the DVD - even though it is a major PiA, but since I run FEAR quite often (aot, but FEAR is important since IDE devices need to be hidden b/c SR7) with daemon-tools, to be able to use the DVD I'd have to continually re-enable my PATA controller from device manager to use the drive anytime I want to play Tiberian sun / Yuri's / Generals / Generals ZH, along with disk swapping, and then disable it again after. MUCH bigger PiA.

Some may say, why not use a no-cd patch.... In my experience they tend to cause havok, especially in online games, and since these are reworked versions IDK if they would work at all. As a side note, isn't it odd how EA has CD-Checks on some of the games, but not the others... I.E. DVD-check on Yuri, but not RA2... Tiberium, not Renegade. Generals is common sense since EA actually wrote that one.

If I may have a request, if someone manages to collect proper cracks for all games in this collection, could you, please, put them into one big archive and submit it to GCW? I think it would be very helpful to be able to find all of them in one place. Thanks!

If I somehow manage to gather cracks for all games that needs it I will of course make a pack and upload!

Edit:
If anyone has original versions of the games mentioned in my first post in this thread (aka NOT The First Decade pack) that you happen to know that generic patchers works with or you have old cracks left on a CD somewhere or similar Please contact me ASAP. PM is a good way.

Most of them should be available @ GameFix
