- Cracking Virtua Fighter CD-Check tutor...

- by Xcellent for TrickSoft - "Software made free by us"
-
- Yeah!! I've told you we're going fast! Again another
- high quality tutor (at least I think, ;-) to bring
- you an approach about CD protections. Let's work!
-
- Tools needed:
- W32Dasm v8.93 (www.crackstore.com)
- Any hexadecimal editor (www.crackstore.com have many!)
-
- Run the game without cd and..."Cannot find Virtua Fighter(TM)
- PC CD." Ok don't panic, run W32Dasm and open the VFPC.EXE file,
- wait the disassembler work...ok now we must search for the message
- that appears when we ran the game without cd, to do this click on
- menu Refs - String Data References and search for the message, when
- you've found, double click on it. Now you'll see:
- * Referenced by a (U)nconditional or (C)onditional Jump at Address:
- |:0049F974(C) <- where it was called
- |
-
- * Possible StringData Ref from Data Obj ->"Cannot find Virtua Fighter(TM) "
- ->"PC CD."
- |
- :0049F97D 68C4A3B700 push 00B7A3C4
- Ok, now we know that this message was called from the address 49F974,
- press SHIFT + F12 and type 49F974 and click ok to go to the address 49F974.
- Now you'll see:
- * Referenced by a (U)nconditional or (C)onditional Jump at Address:
- |:0049F949(C)
- |
- :0049F959 E8F22AF6FF call 00402450 <- call check routine
- :0049F95E 85C0 test eax, eax <- compare results
- :0049F960 742C je 0049F98E <- if equal run
-
- * Reference To: KERNEL32.GetOEMCP, Ord:00F6h
- |
- :0049F962 FF159483B900 Call dword ptr [00B98394]
- :0049F968 6A30 push 00000030
- :0049F96A 3DA4030000 cmp eax, 000003A4
-
- * Possible StringData Ref from Data Obj ->"Virtua Fighter PC"
- |
- :0049F96F 68C8A2B700 push 00B7A2C8
- :0049F974 7507 jne 0049F97D <- else jump to error msg
-
- * Possible StringData Ref from Data Obj ->"Virtua Fighter(TM) PC "
- |
- :0049F976 6818A3B700 push 00B7A318
- :0049F97B EB05 jmp 0049F982 <- jump to error msg in other language
- Now we know that the jump to the error message is located at the address 49F974,
- so we need to search up for a jump..and we found it, at the address 49F960. What
- we gonna do now is change the je at the address 49F960 to a jmp, to make the game
- run with or without the CD on drive. But we need to know where in file is located
- the jump so we can change it. To do this move the green bar to the je 0049F98E and
- look at the bottom of the screen and you will see @Offset 0009ED60h. Ok, run your
- hexadecimal editor and open VFPC.EXE and search for the offset 9ED60 then change
- 74 to EB. Doing this will change the je to a jmp.
- Save and run the game....*yeah* It's cracked!!

- If you have ANY question, suggestion or anything, just send me a mail.
- I'll be happy to help you!
