Onimusha (1) NoCD inquiry

[WaltonSimons]

Hello everyone. I recently bought Onimusha off an play-asia.com style shop and *BOOM* it asked for the CD. And I didn't wanna keep inserting it, so I d/led the TECHNiC crack from GCW. I tried it and *BOOM* and it didn't work. NFO says it requires an iNVFX fixed exe, not the original one. I searched ALL OVER the net and came up empty. Please, help me. I need iNVFX fixed exe.

But nothing else, as I wish to compare the iNVFX blank exe and TECHNiC's patched iNVFX exe in a hex editor! I want to know the values that the TECHNiC patch changes.

Thanks in advance.

Perhaps, the game could be re-cracked from scratch. Read entry III/4 in the forum FAQ and contact me accordingly.

Well, here's how the situation is now:

OnimuPC.exe 1.0 orig - Securom v4.8 + CD check.
OnimuPC.exe 1.0 iNVFX - CD check only.
OnimuPC.exe 1.02 orig (patch) - CD check only.

I was going to rip over the protection from 1.02 using the iNVFX.exe and the TECHNiC patch and the HexCmp program. I would've applied the differencies to 1.02 exe. One problem. I DON'T have the iNVFX exe.

Here's the 1.02 patch. The exe displays the CD demand (obviously, because with the disc inside, when I click OK, it passes) even when left out of the game dir totally alone. It needs NO files from the game.

you could *BOOM* get a refund *BOOM* buy a European version :P (it works with that )

[WaltonSimons]

There is no european version. You've mistaken it with Onimusha 3.

Securom 4 should be easy to crack but seeing that v1.02 doesnt seem to have SR anymore, I guess that's obsolete.
I dont think anyone willing to crack it actually owns this game (not legally now anyway, I suppose)

[DABhand]

Why would the game ask for a CD if you have it?

Let me guess its a burnt Silver, i.e. not legal. Its the only thing I can think off.

If so you will find you wont get help here for it. You will have to take it up with the site you bought from, telling them what is going on.

[WaltonSimons]

DABhand, MuJi - I have the legit version, nevertheless, I don't want to insert the CD. If you think that's not true, then what is the purpose of GCW? What is the purpose of discussing cracks but not discussing warez (ytou're obviously accusing me of owning warez, thus discussing it now)? What you say now has no sense.

BTW, I didn't say the game does not run AT ALL. It runs fine, as long as the CD is inside the drive. And I don't want the program to use it, it was damn expensive to import.

[Joe Forster/STA]

Just a quick, untested (as I don't have the game) hack, for the 1.02 (Hong-Kong) update: http://sta.c64.org/shared/ONIMU102.ZIP.

[WaltonSimons]

Nope. Instant crash. It gives me a send/don't send error.

[Joe Forster/STA]

Oh-kay, another, cleaner try: http://sta.c64.org/shared/ONIMU102_1.ZIP.

[WaltonSimons]

Works fine, thank you so much. I'll make a "fixed update" archive ASAP.

EDIT: Onimusha: Warlords patch 1.02 (fixed) is now available.

Small off-topic question:
Does this update fix some gfx and performance problems?
I heard sometimes you cannot see your map, the character looks very bad and so on.
Also very low fps on some places, especially while drawing souls.

[WaltonSimons]

Yes, it is presumed to fix these bugs you mentioned. I didn't encounter any ('cept little slowdowns) since I installed the update.

You failed to mention any more info.

All you mentioned was you bought from a site similar in style to play-asia and it asked for a CD.

So what sounds like sense now.

Perhaps re-read your first post and then actually read mine.

I did not say you had a warez version of it, I said IF, if is a big word, If you did you wouldnt get help here for it and you would be best contacting the people you bought from.
