Trying to Crack Anstoss 2 Gold

[yener90]

Good day fileforums users,
i tried the whole day to crack Anstoss 2 Gold.
I already found a crack for Anstoss 2. but not useful for me.

Can someone provide original exe and patched one of Anstoss 2??
so i can compare both and crack it.

Or some pro would be so kind and crack this??

What protection?

[yener90]

Scanning -> anstoss2.exe
File Type : 32-Bit Exe (Subsystem : Win GUI / 2), Size : 1953792 (01DD000h) Byte(s)
[File Heuristics] -> Flag : 00000000000001001100000000100001 (0x0004C021)
[!] PE Crypt v1.0x detected !
- Scan Took : 0.906 Second(s)

WTF?
I thought it should be Safedisc, Securom, Laserlok or something like that...

Is that the original file or some crack?!
Upload all exe and dll of that game so i can analyse it please.

[cdkiller]

i think it was vob protect cd, with the usage of some crypter

[yener90]

here are the executables and reg info(without these you will get an error):

i also want to disable 16 bit 24 bit checking,
earlier some screens used 8bit, therefore this check.
today everybody uses 32 bit. you will get also this error.

the game uses sound and video files on cd.

EDIT:
found out it checks later in game again.

Unpacking it is too hard for me (cant find OEP), but a loader seems to be easier.
You have to copy all files from disc to the root of your first hdd, like 00127844 00127968 ASCII "C:\\archives/comments.cpr"

If it does not find the files there, you still get the missing cd message.

Loading the files from disc seems to be hardcoded, i dont know how to replace the "[correctCdDriveLetter]:\\archives/comments.cpr" with the game dir.

[yener90]

unfortunately your loader doesnt work.

tried already on hard disk ad it also requires original dvd.

[PopFan]

Unpacked only

I tested my loader it worked only about with every 4. gamestart...
I have no idea why...
Just click on the loader often enough, it WILL work...
The folder archives, sounds and videos must be copied to the root of the first hdd, like c:\archives.

The loader must be placed where anstoss2.exe is and then you have to start the loader.

The unpacked file gives me "not enough memory" erorrs all the time.
But thanks for it anyway.

dude good new.
thx for your help Cowsheep and PopFan
with unpacked one i cracked part of it.
now its doesnt show this error any more when starting the game.
but it has more checks.
if you modify anything on dvd, the game doesnt start.
will need to find i, where this dammit check is.

@Cowsheep you dont need to modify the hardcoded part.
you need to edit mov part. look at the picture:

(comments.cpr will be readed from disk, if its not in hard drive)

@PopFan
can you be so kind and unpack verl.exe too??
Anstoss 2 = Main game
Anstoss 2 Verlängerung = Addon
Anstoss 2 Gold = Both together

[Cowsheep]

With Olly i dont see the lpPathName...
So i cant see what to do with the mov.

Here is another check:

0040D4F6 . 83E8 05 SUB EAX,5

I changed that to SUB EAX,3.

PopFan, can you tell me please how to find OEP and defeat anti bp?

[yener90]

i used ida for this.
i also used the code you prefered but it doesnt also work.

in game it has a protection too.
it doesnt save you games, if the cd is not inserted...
it seems to be more difficult then i thought.

[Cowsheep]

I tried IDA once, but its look and feel is horrible compared to Olly. It lacks also for (stealth) plugins.
Here is the untouched unpacked verl.exe. Thanks to PopFans files i knew the bytes at OEP, and so i was able to reproduce his way. The 2nd JMP EAX leads to OEP.

I borrowed the game myself now, but its 16bit Installer does nothing on Win XP.
Damn Installshield 3...

[yener90]

really???
ive got windows 7 64bit and used Virtual PC with Win XP 32bit.
There i could install.
thx for unpacked verl.exe

i hope you can install and try yourself so we both can solve the problem.
