Tages v5.5 (or higher) protected !

[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").

Have you been able to play the game with the original CD/DVD after 'updating the game to Tages' ?

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

Having now fully cleaned out the installation and redone it all from scratch, the game installs as version 1.1.138, which now im using the new Protection ID program shows up as being TAGES 5.5 or higher, the protection isnt changed as I thought it was I ran an older version of protection ID and didnt notice.

The version 1.2 of Darkstar also uses TAGES 5.5 or higher. My bad for having two copies of Prot ID on my puter.

So back to the original question which was does anyone have a clue how to get round this TAGES 5.5 or higher and get a NOCD patch to work for it, my puter generates enough heat as it is.

Tages is used widely by software gaming companies very popular becoming very clever against piracy due to defects in SF3
Remember this is only the beginning are we going to cope

SF3 what is SF3 and does anyone have an answer to my question please. Please post useful info if you can.

sf3 = StarForce 3 (ISO Copy Protection)

does anyone have an answer to my question please

no crack for a newer version, only the reloaded crack wich is for v1.1 i think

Thanks CD, great utility by the way.

I take it from the lack of actual knowledge nobody has yet worked out how to make a NO CD patch for TAGES 5.5 or higher software or games, or is there a hive of activity somewhere on the case of working round it.
