Fix for argentinean racing games?

[DanielARG78]

Hi.

There is a fix for "TC2000 Racing", "TopRace Simulador 2009" and "Simulador Turismo Carretera"?

This three have the same engine (kind a rFactor mod).

Sorry if im breaking the rules.
I cant find any fix in the whole net.

See ya!

What protection these games got?

[Joe Forster/STA]

Probably the same as rFactor. (Homepage at http://tc.2pez.com.ar, if anyone is interested.)

[DanielARG78]

In that web you can download the complete game, and then and play a little demo locked by time.

[Cowsheep]

Sounds like Activemark, please scan files with ProtectionId.

[DanielARG78]

Ok. First time using ProtectionID.
Its Activermark 6.2.478 (Simulador TopRace 2009).

[Cowsheep]

I dont know any cracks for it.
Personally i failed at that protection, its a bit to though for me.

[DanielARG78]

Thanks for trying, Cowsheep.

[TippeX]

is this protection actually on a retail game, or are you using a demo and need that cracked?

[Cowsheep]

(I didnt have looked at his games, i made experiences with AM 6.2 a few years ago and didnt succeed in inline patching them with the help of a tutorial. Later on, i noticed that simple CD Checks or UPX, Aspack and so on are better targets for the first own crack or unpacked file.)

All 3 games can be fully downloaded from the homepage and only ""Simulador Turismo Carretera" includes a Trial.

There are two Only Buy targets that do not come with encrypted files, so if you unprotect the main executable they should run.

What about trying this tutorial?

Good luck

I really don't know anything about how to do this but... i will try

[Nacho_dj]

On the other side, I have been testing the trial one yesterday (ACTC). It is quite easy to unpack & revirgin, their two protected executables just use 7 redirected imports (PeekMessageA, GetMessageA, PeekMessageA, GetMessageA, PeekMessageA, GetMessageA, ExitProcess) and an encrypted block of bytes of size 0x8000 when dumped from AM browser (if you dump from real OEP, no encripted block appears).

No encrypted files found also, so fixing both protected executables is enough to get the entire game unprotected.

This game seems to use the minimum features of ActiveMARK for its protection...

Best regards

DanielARG78, if you never revered yourself before, read the first few lena151s tutorials or UPX or Aspack tutorials in order to learn how to use and understand the tools like Olly or ImpREC.
Then, this is much easier to understand.
