Tages v5.5 (or higher) protected !

[Cobrabyte]

The printed output from version 1 told me I had VOB prot or whatever it is, after installing the patch it now tells me Its Tages, or are you insinuating I cant read. The output using version 5.2 of protection ID tells me this is the protection in place now. So it might be advantageous to all concerned if instead of looking down your nose at me because im new to this forum and actually come out with some form of useful information we can all share.

Or is the purpose of this forum to satisfy Geek ego and flame anyone that has a genuine question.

He didnt flame you.

But it is unlikely they would change a protection to read another protection on the media.

It just wouldnt work.

Its a possibility that the PiD has miscorrectly read the updated VOB Protect. And it looked similar to Tages.

It seemed strange to me, but I just put in the post what I saw. The original question still stands, does anyone have any ideas on how to get round this form of protection?

From my observation of your situation you must have started with a German copy which has ProtectDISC v6 protection and then, somehow, applied an English upgrade patch which does have Tages protection.

nah there are too much checks for both protections

there are different versions of darkstar one, i.e.
German = Protect DiSC
Frensh = Tages

my guess is you installed the wrong patch.

The game shouldn't run, then, huh ?
Have you been able to play the game with the original CD/DVD after 'updating the game to Tages' ?

[cdkiller]

protection canNOT be changed from VOB to Tages. thats not possible. if a goldmaster is protected with VOB there are "special" information burned to the media aswell. (Same For Tages, got their own "fingerprints").

the Tages sectors on the disc were missing so it never could authentificate the disk as being original.
