[Oldie] Speed Busters ADDON (v1.28) no-CD patch?

[Joe Forster/STA]

Hi guys,

There's a download of a nice cars + tracks addon for Speed Busters at e.g. http://dlh.net/cgi-bin/dlp.cgi?lang=...don.zip&ref=ps .
I know there's a no-CD patch for version 1.1 but this addon contains an even newer main executable, version 1.28. Anyone have a no-CD patch for _this_? Thanks in advance,

Joe

Joe, is there something about this newer version which is hard to crack? You usually provide cracks for older games yourself.

Hey E_J, you think I would've asked someone else to crack it for me if I was able to do it myself?

No, which is why I wanted you to elaborate. What is the protection that this update uses?

Hi E_J,

I tried cracking it a long ago, when I found out that this addon exists at all, so I don't remember it very much... Just like the 1.0 and 1.1 releases, 1.28 is not protected by any encryptor or something either, just some custom CD-checks. However, there are some hidden ones, too, unlike in previous versions, and pretty nasty ones at that! Kind of like in my "favorites": Moto Racer 1/2 and Motorhead... Actually, the game doesn't even launch itself and there's not even an error message displayed so I don't know where to start...

Hmmm, maybe, I should try it again and see what I can do about it.

Yes, the Moto Racer games are real bitches to crack. Motorhead though is pretty standard if I remember correctly. I don't remember having any trouble with the final patch, v3.20 (?).

Are you certain that it's a CD check and not an incompatibility?
