If you own the game and know how to create an image (using alcohol 120%, daemon-tools, Blindwrite, etc.) you can create one and send it to GCW.

ROTFL, this is ridiculous... I can't believe none in the world would create a mini img for it.

[nando2002]

It's no ridiculous.
If you buy the game you can do your own image - lots of sites has info how to create images & Blazkowicz can help you also.

For me GCW follows the Microsoft standard WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get). If you don't see it it's because doesn't exists and you won't get it.

Then why to put\host other game images? You can't give a logic where there is none.

[nando2002]

Of course there's logic.
No one has enough money to buy all the games to create images.
You can't create an image based on an ISO file - you need the media descriptor structure (mds) that holds how the protection access the DVD so programs like Daemon-Tools can emulate the DVD-on-Drive.
But you need to own the original to do that.

The images hosted in GCW are contributor-dependent.
If you create an image and send it to GCW then someone will go to GCW see your image, says "w00t!!!!" and download it.
You contribute and someone gets happy.
If you don't contribute more ppl like you will come here requesting answer for the "lack".

Not true, most P2P groups who supposedly crack protections dont, they either..

1. Use an executable from a demo
2. Use an executable from a downloadable version of the game if available.
3. Steal another groups crack, remove watermark, add their own and then say it will work with future patches when the executable was for the original non-patched game.


It is very very rare that one group of people will actually release something that is considered proper.

As said, people who have the games made the images and sent them to be hosted, if nobody makes an image for a certain game then so be it, these things dont magically appear in a puff of smoke you know.

If things are not there, then they are not there.

And it seems like they ignore them

Almost a week ago, I sent unprotected executables of Witcher Enhanced Edition v1.4.5.1303 to GF, for the people who own the retail version of EE and thus must have the disc in drive while playing, and still nothing. Also, last site update from 7. december :\

I know there were holidays and the site maintainer probably has a life, but this is just plain sad.

[!HaGaR!]

Well... Mini-Image of Fifa is missing? Then, grab your disc the last time ever and create your own mini-image and share it with us... And you´ll see, the mini-image will be on gcw then... for you and everyone else.

And also keep in mind that cracking "in the old days" was "simpler" than nowadays. In the glory days there were generic unwrappers - little tools which could deprotect different version of protections with a few clicks.

And today? I guess it´s a pain in the ass to crack games like gta IV (dvd protection, online activation, FADE-like features). And now there are fixes and fixes and fixes because the release was buggy. Then the crackers have to crack and test, crack and test, crack and test, crack and test... And yet again, there were many new games for which people are crying for having cracks... And get angry when a game isn´t cracked within the releaseday... Or are comlpaining that update x.xx wasn´t cracked (hell, the patch is already out since 2 hours, where iz da crak maaan??!).

To get it simple: Be thankful for any cracked piece of code. If there is missing something for you... Go, crack yourself and share it with us. Maybe some other people will stop crying then...

Jup. Just 4 Cents this time ;-D

Hosting cracks for online activation is against GCW's (current) rules; this fact is mirrorred in forum rule #1, too. GameFix is not related to GCW other than sending their visitors to this forum for discussion.

I agree with !HaGaR!: don't complain about not existing cracks, instead be grateful for existing ones - you got them all for free.
