I bought a low budget version of Beyond Good & Evil. I love low budget versions because they are less or not protected in most cases.
This game has a cd check. If have not managed to crack it yet.

But Protection id also does not recognize the cd check string:

"Bitte Beyond Good & Evil CD 3 einlegen"

This exe contains a little more than a simple cd-check: it is protected with Tages

Ok, I'm sorry, seems that you are right. But PiD does not mention any copy protection.

PID Log:

thats because its hard to detect tages, try doing a sector scan on the cd/dvd, it might show up then... tages is 'stealth like' when it comes to detection

noscript, the exe you uploaded is really Tages protected.
The api "DeviceIoControl" is used to call the tages device driver.

the ep of the exe is Microsoft Visual C++ 7.0 but it has custom checks to call the driver wich identifies the original disc.

this version of tages isn´t worth supporting as only Beyond Good & Evil and XIII are using it.

But it would have saved me hours of cracking time *lol*
@tippex: I did a sector scan as you can see in my previous post.
