*Quality* of PC fixed exe's

[Morglum007]

Well, not used to reply this kind of topics, but it is funny how some users fucks off others "work".

1.- As some users stated above, cracks are not intended to general public. To a cracker, there is nothing but a crap, that many cracks reaches final public. It is not intended to, but internet is so big, so, there is always "someone" that "leaks" release. There was and there is a "scene" tip: "From scene members to scene members", or another way to understand: Only to ppl who deserves it.

2.- About "quality", just a thing: Ja!, and it is already known i do not like some RlD guys (from a long time now). In fact, Yates, the SecuROMs author (in the past a very good scene cracker) knows so much how he is doing, and how most actual crackers work, so he tries to avoid it. Ah, forgot to mention the direct "dialog" between Yates and scene, compressing poesy (real poesy) in crypted VM. It is somehow a race, and a dialog between. There are many ways a file can be compressed, and also protected, and SecuROM is right now (as solidshield), the most effective.
Most times fixes are just a dump, but i asure u many little ppl out there know how to really crack fully a securom executable. Dumping is the easiest.

3.- Cracks usually are tested by many ppl and in different machines till "release" is done, usually by "third" ppl.

4.- Sometimes i see ppl here requesting for a crack. Consider this, most times that requested file is already done and cracked, but does not leaves the scene influence, because authors doesnt want to do so, to avoid:
a) Other ppl to take merits they dont deserves
b)Dont want publisher/prot author to know how file was unprotected
c)File is buggy or in study progress (mostly solidshield)
d) Examples: Aggression: reign over europe (Solidshield), Dimensity (Solidshield), Mysims (Securom; this last finally "released" by me with permission of TrV)

5.- So, if u get a RlD file and got dissapointed, well, dont use RlD files anymore. RlD have got tons of critics for most of this Christmas cracks launching messages, but it did because something (because was "forced to").

I think it is enough for now, hope wont need to reply here more, and sorry for english, not my strong... ^^

Enjoy, CdS

Nobody here is fucking off others "work", that's for sure...it's only a note about cracking methodology. Anyway, I agree with you on every other point you made.

Just exactly what I do, if RlD is only nodvd option I play with my original disc Anyway, RlD can do other protections OK, it's just SecuROM they don't, IMO. Of course we should thank them for their work anyway...

The whole cracks-are-for-the-scene-only-but-they-get-leaked is total bs.
That probably was a funny line back in the 90s and some people actually hoped it would keep off authorities or whatever.
There a quite a few reasons, and I seriously hope you don't really think this is true.

It's just like 0day groups writing 'Use this software for testing only. Buy if you like it.' Yeah, that's why there are cracks and keygens for apps with a 30-trial without any restrictions o_O

For me and my mates it is true, maybe not for RlD, but for CdSTeam it is. We had "released" Mysims just for "teachinG" purposes, because no other group did (and we waited some months until we did).

0 day groups earns a lot of money doing this, and therefore, they r illegal, and obviously pursued. Some years ago crack down with Deviance and Fairlight groups in efnet was because of this. If groups earns money, happens what u already know, and if RlD guys are doing so, then fbi is following their asses, and thats not good for them (...) and also to that ppl that plays "for free".
