How can I crack the EU Version of true crime

[karlmueller]

I am interested in the EU Version of True Crime. I know how to make a dump of the running .exe but this dump dosn't starts the game. How can I rebuild this dump so that the game will start.

Thank You

dump, rebuild imports, fix entrypoint, theres tons of **** you havent done.. just making a dump ... if only it were that simple

[ByteMare]

Yup, dumping is often the easy part, getting the whole crap back to a working executable is harder

Have you decrypted any sections? Found if there are any triggers in the game? Maybe Stolen Bytes

The joys of manual unpacking/dumping a commercial protection

[karlmueller]

And how can I do this? Are they any tutorials whick discribes this?

Thank You

Hey karl,

Is this a joke or are you really this naive? It took me years to get good at 65xx and then x86 assembly/machine code and I still have no idea about either the Windows API or nasty DOS/Windows (anti-)debug tricks that include x86 debug registers and protected mode...!

In other words, you cannot possibly believe that a tutorial - shorter than a few hundred pages, that is - will teach you how to defeat the, apparently, best commercial copy protection currently available for the PC, one that only very experienced crackers would ever seriously consider to touch!
