Help on making No-CD

[TryniX]

Hi there. Just wonderd if any of you have got sites/tutorials on teaching you on how to make No-CD Cracks.
(or just tell me where to find a no-cd crack for Delta Force Land Warrior 1.00.25)

Well is not easy , because in this case safedisk 2 exe file is encrypted itself and doesnt let you modify DFLW.EXE directly ( its like when you make a ZIP of an EXE file , without unzipping is imposible to run the EXE file so its kinda the same example ) so first you need to decode it and there are 2 ways i know :
-brute force over and get the key to de-encrypt the EXE file so the resulting file is a common exe and not pure shit so you can crack it.
-dump the memory of the game when its running normally , you will need a working CD , so you must be able to play it ( when safedisk validates the correct CD then it decodes the .EXE data into memory so it can be run as any program ) so you wont have to decode it , the safedisk nicely will do it for you hehehe =).

when you dump you need to repair what you got from the main memory cos "some important stuff is not correcty or missing" like the import table ( when you run any exe file it reads the import table to load the operative system kernel and libraries , then the program is copied or send itself to memory except the import table that is copied damaged or "dirty", the import table is build when you compile the program so basically you will have to recompile it or maybe some trick that will let you paste a working import table )
Trying to decode the new safedisk encryption is pretty hard so the easier and faster thing is to dump it.
