SVKP, how to backup

HocusPocus · #1 02-10-2005, 06:20

SVK Protector
Company : AntiCracking
Protection : SVK Protector (SVKP) - Slovak Protector
Versions : 1.43
How to Detect : Use Protection ID
Backup Solution : Unknown as of yet!
Protected : Unknown as of yet!

Is that true? I have Ragnarok Battle, and I want to make the game run without CD in the drive. This is the protection:

> Ready
Scanning -> C:\Program Files\Gravity\Ragnarok Battle.exe
File Type : Exe, Size : 954380 (0E900Ch) Bytes
-> File has 151564 (02500Ch) bytes of appended data starting at offset 0C4000h
[!] SVKP - Slovak Protector encrypted !
- Scan Took : 0.790 Seconds

I Made a full image with physical data using Blindwrite, then mount with Daemon, but it still asks original CD.

Of course the game run with my CD.

What's the best way to make backup? Thanks!

SVKP is an EXE protector, not a CD Protection!

They've just used SVKP to hide the contents of the original exe. It may be using AlphaROM, some Asian titles have used it before like Brave Soul! Try making a backup using Securom profiles in Alcohol 120% and see if that works, use a CD-RW to test though and don't run the backup from a burner!

Yep mini-image/full image will be the only way to go here.

Tell me is Ragnarok Battle any good? What is different from the old Ragnarok?

Prolly just a custom cd check, and the exe is SVKP protected so that you cant patch it easily. If you are good at reversing you could manually unpack it, shouldn't be too hard compared to safedisc, and just patch the CD check.

I think other companies used exe protectors before... I think Jowood had a Armadillo/Securom packed exe with custom checks in Chaser, but I can't remember... It was a long time ago...

Jowood have their own wrapper. called JowoodX I believe.

How can I do that? Thanks!

@BarryB
I don't have Alcohol

I ever installed trial version, now it's expired. I decided not buy it coz I use Daemon. Download new version of Alcohol (trial), install it, but it still says that my subscription has expired do'h

@DABhand
Ragnarok Battle is action side-scrolling offline game and it's very different with the online. Just like playing Street Fighter or Dragon Ball. There's so many combo. The game is good in graphic and sound but I stil don't know how to save

I know it is actually a free game, you can download from many Ragnarok site, but it's in Japanese. Since I don't understand, so I decide to buy it in my language. There's a guide book to use combo, and I got big poster also

Alright, if you don't know how to reverse engineer, then I can't help you.

Almost correct, Xtreme protector or xprot...very annoying, but once you killed the antidump you can play around...there's even tools that (in many cases) do this for you...its "bigbrother" Themida is the same pos...Chaser..what a piece of sh*t! Couldn't even install due to CP error,
but it worked after some "serious cleaning"

...returned to shop and will never by another JoW00t game

AFAIK JoWood announced insolvency.

I knew it had an X in it

But you wont buy Gothic 3 when its released next year????

I think you will change your mind

In the mean time roll on Elder Scrolls 4

ByteMare · #12 03-10-2005, 05:50

Nope, cuz it will probably have svkp+armadillo(meanest version)+sexxurom v10.XX.XX. and a ****load of custom stuff...if it comes with ONE CP and some real stable stuff (yes, that includes the installer) I might look in to it

caki · #13 03-10-2005, 07:56

Xtreme protector

I did some themida a while ago, and ****ing hated it. Chaser was a good game btw

. Dunno why I liked it, but it kept me playing for a week.
