Sacred 1.5 crack
 
Just so you guys know, there IS a working 1.5 crack floating around. But there is good news and bad news. You just heard the good news. The bad news is...its 50 MB. It's not so much a crack, and a patch to the Deviance Rips which makes them a 1:1 copy, capable of defeating the copywrite protection so long as you have RMPS emulation enabled in the new version of Daemon Tools. As a result, there is no cracked EXE, and it should work with all the upcoming patches provided they don't beef up the copywrite protection again.

I hear it was cracked by guys in #[email protected], though I had a friend send me my copy. Still, when I checked out the channel, they had people sending it around, as well as a text file with step by step instructions on getting it running.

Just a heads up. Don't ask me for the file, I don't have it anymore.

Valamyr 03-04-2004 01:41

*salutes*

Thanks for the heads up. I'm looking. I'll post a mirror once I find it and share it on P2Ps.

Hoaxes will be punished by fire ;)

Valamyr 03-04-2004 01:51

*sighs with relief* Not a hoax :)

Promised mirror will come up later, in case this is congestioned. Please, share on P2Ps until an handier crack comes out.

Valamyr 03-04-2004 02:02

The crack is a bit hard to get to work for Joe Schmoe. But I managed to get this to work as well:

This crack dont work on some systems. To use this crack you must uninstall e.g. Alcohol.

It is not good way to play this game.

i can't find deamon files for free..
i can't find 1.5 crack
ed2k doesn't seem to downlaod anything at 1.0 sometihgn speed and i'm runing cable modem WITHOUT firewall but it keeps saying i ahve firewall turned on..
(i have two cable , how do you combine the speed ?)

and so i tried Dasm the thing
and it doesn't dasm at all..
the crk sacred. dasm howveer...
what i do not understand is

how do people come up with the 5.7+mb executable
when i could not find any of those. in any part of the cd/folders

the flmod.dll / base.dll that came with the crack
is actually the original sacred.exe

okie so i tried dasm the crk sacred.exe
while on 1.5 final.
some how i replace call lines from the crk file with the newer _grannies.. call number.

the thing runs..
the intro and everything but then CTDs after it reach the almost end of the typemanger bar thingy..

any idea where they hid the actualy excutable?
ori sacred itself is i think the cd protection checker or something..
after it checks it has to point some where to load the mss.dll
but i can't seem to figure out from where in ori sacred.exe that laods the rest of the dlls ?

doesn't seem like it worked cracking sacred.exe there must be some otehr files.. some where.. BUT WHERE ?

deathfactory 03-04-2004 14:47

I solved it =)
 
Hehe this is foolproof.

Mount Cd1 in deamontool new version. RPMS thingy on.
Rename Base.dll to Base.dll1 or someting.

Guess whatt haha.
:confused:

A DOSpromt window pop up and check files, and do smileys.
Rename Base.dll1 to Base.dll again while it check files.

BooomWhaaam. The game starts after check all files. It take a while but it works.

:D :D I go play now

Killer_Cop 03-04-2004 17:36

The DOS promt Window is the Autoupdater..nothing else.....At the Moment there is no working NOCD/Crack for Version 1.5. All other is using an 1:1 Image....Its like you use your Original CD..NOTHING ELSE!!!!!!!!:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :p :eek: :eek: :eek:

RincewindTheWiz 03-04-2004 18:41

Yep, still no real crack. However in view of the number of Sacred threads that get started here, I'm going to make this the "official" one. Some of my fellow mods *cough*BountyWarrior*cough* would rather see no threads about Sacred at all, but if it stays contained to this one thread it's good enough for me. All other threads about Sacred 1.5 WILL be deleted, so if you have something to say about it, do it in this thread. Also try to not whine too much about there not being a crack, we KNOW and the crackers in general do not read this forum so requests are useless, even if they would heed requests at all (which they don't).

Killer_Cop 04-04-2004 00:20

RIGHT!!!!!;)

I dont know why they are wining so much....

To crack, is hard work!

Sacred is patched so much in the last time....SO you could use your Cd´s for a while, solong, until there is an WORKING Version.

I Think, with Version 1.5 is an Version, that runs good engough....(I run this version, and there are no more bugs in the Quests (I think so))...so we will see.....

And if there wont be an NOCD.....Its not so ......(OH MANN, MY ENGLISH).....But you know what i would say.....:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

PS: I HAVE MY OWN DEDICATED GAMESERVER NOW!!!!!:D :D :D :D :D :D

I dont have base.dll. I use UK version. Where You have this .dll?

Killer_Cop 04-04-2004 12:21

Thats it...base.dll belongs to NOCD Version 1.0......The newest Version of NOCD for 1.2 also has no base.dll --.--- So, the "hind" which is messaged above is no solution for a NOCD for 1.5......:rolleyes:

Omego2k 04-04-2004 13:14

it seems with this 50MB crack you need to burn a 1:1 copy cause I burnt it following the instruction and did not work. We need a NO CD crack one that doesnt require a CD.

Evil Kumquat 04-04-2004 14:12

That's Just Plain Mean
 
It was cruel to post a Sacred 1.5 English crack on the main page of Game Copy World.

April 1 was DAYS ago.

You guys got my hopes up and everything.

I guess it is time to go eat a bullet.

Goodbye, cruel (Game Copy) world!

*BANG

*THUD

liptonsea 04-04-2004 21:43

WTF?

Added the No-CD for: Sacred v1.2.0.20 & v1.5 [ENGLISH] (PC) - Thanks DDS.

I only see 1.2 added. where did 1.5 go?

Lord Exodus 05-04-2004 08:11

First of all:
Thanks for making a Sacred sticky thread. It really sucked to see these lots of new threads emerge every day, where people were asking the same over and over again.

And now my question:
This new 50 MB kinda workaround will strip off the copy protection, but you still have to use a CD? Am I right?
That would solve all my problems...since German patch 1.0.3.8, Sacred doesn't recognize my CD anymore.
It's because of this damn Fujitsu burner, on my other PC it runs well. But that's no use, I want to play it with my wife.
Ascaron isn't able to help, as it seems. No support after emailing them the problem, although I included account name and CD key.

There could be one problem...the UK/US version checks for CD 1, the German version for CD 2. Is this "crack" also usable for the German version, anyone tried it out yet?

tet666 05-04-2004 09:34

its not a crack for the game, it's just a patch for the deviance release of sacred to make it a working backup ,you need the cd 1 from the deviance release to make it work like a original cd ,i dont think it makes any sense without it.

Valamyr 05-04-2004 19:03

Ive stopped bothering with cracks.

I installed 1.5 UK over the US version, i enabled all emulations options on the latest freeware deamon emulation, and i just launch the game. It messes with CP stuff about 45 seconds and then lets me in, everytime.

tbaher 06-04-2004 08:31

From what I understood this 1.5 patch/workaround is for the "Deviance release" of sacred. This is the warez ISO or whatever. Is there a way for people who have the original game to play without the CD?
Not with a virtual drive, not with a backup CD. Just without having to fetch the CD everytime you want to play.

The other problem is that you have to uninstall Nero and other programs to make it work.
This is more of a pain than it's worth.

(Sacred 1.5 won't detect the original CD in my writer and the other driver is a stupid creative DVD that you have to eject/insert 5-10 times for anything to work in it)

Namrok 06-04-2004 10:44

I don't beleive you have to uninstall Nero. As I play the game just fine with Nero installed, albiet an older version. What you DO have to do however is turn off any virtual drives you have, no matter which application manages them. And I think alchohol 120 regardless, though I personally don't know (burned my CD on a machine with Alchohol, and then played it on another).

As for a straight up no-CD crack...well this work around is the best thats out right now unfortunately.

BabyOxide 07-04-2004 04:24

okie call me stupid..
 
but how do you make a .iso file with the original cd?
dun seem to catch the option in nero..

sufione 07-04-2004 09:34

I'm really baffled by this thread.
Why is there not a no-cd crack for 1.5?
It's precisely games like this with tedious/buggy copy protect that need a no-cd crack.

And, btw, I DO own a legal copy of the game----the UK version.

I don't know much about who the cracking groups are, but it seems they are the same people who do warez releases. I assume the reason they make cracks is to put them on their warez ISOs or BINs (read an NFO file and you will see the instructions are to "burn the .bin and .cue" and then copy the cracked exe or whatever. It's almost as if the way to get cracks is from the "deviance" folder in ISOs themselves.

Since they already released a mod to their ISO, I doubt that there will be any future cracks to 1.5 or any version that can see through the DAEMON TOOLS workaround.

Why would deviance release a 50+ MB workaround to an ISO instead of cracking an EXE? Maybe because it would work on all future releases. (They wouldn't have to crack this game again until a new protection comes out)

How many people are out there cracking games for us non-warez users? If you know anybody, ask them to crack it. I tried learning to crack things, got as far as replacing a single byte and then gave up - too much work just to wait a week for GCW to host the crack.

Rant ends.

Namrok 07-04-2004 17:31

It wasn't deviance which released that 50 MB patch. It was the work of just one random guy so near as I can tell. And it's really a work of art either, as so near as I can tell, he just used a program that compares files, and makes a patch to make one file like the other. Then compared the deviance rip to a 1:1 rip to make that 50 MB patch.

RincewindTheWiz 08-04-2004 03:22

Emulation seems the ONLY thing that works right now. If you want to go that way, I suggest you use Alcohol120% with the VOB Protectcd 5 option to make the image, and mount the image in Daemon Tools 3.46 (RPMS emulation enabled). I know at least one guy who has successfully done this and can play this way. The fact that there still isn't a crack out for ANY patch seems to bode ill for any future patches, so try emulation...

Edit : I forgot to add, make sure you UNINSTALL Alcohol120% and any other virtual cd programs EXCEPT Daemon Tools 3.46 before trying to mount the image and play the game. At this moment, only Daemon Tools 3.46 can bypass the copy protections' blacklist. So use A120% to make the image, and use DT 3.46 to mount it. I'm sure a future version of A120% will also bypass the blacklist.

Omego2k 08-04-2004 09:47

is it possible to make a 1:1 image of this?

smellyirishman 08-04-2004 10:04

K well I have the deviance version but cant find the file so can I use alcohol or do I need to find this 50MB file??

Anyone got any ideas why this game cant have a no-cd patch?
or any ideas when we might see one?

This game rocks but i need 1.5 at least cause iv got a good few bugs :(

LAME - BW

Any news on this one ?
 
Hi people

Can someone help this sorta newbiw...?

Thx

Jean

micha72 10-04-2004 00:52

It works :-)
 
Hy Folks :D

I have tried the workaround for the Sacred 1.5 Patch to get it work without any crack. It works for me, but only one time. I installed sacred, update to 1.5, de-install Alcohol 120, install new Daemon tool, enable RPMS emulation and the game starts... but only for one time:confused: After i restart my OS the game will start again...

:D

Sacred gore patch?
 
Speaking of Sacred cracks, is it possible that the American version will get a gore crack some day? I would like to play the uncensored version without having to pay 10 extra bucks for shipping. :confused:

thomast 10-04-2004 10:55

I don't know about you guys, I am able to use some of the methods talked about in mgforums, there are several talked about over there. One of them is trying to make the game open 2 concurrent process(which is hard to do) then the cd checking would say it is running or something.

Another method easier one is having an image of your cd in daemon tools and clicking the website button after mounting it at same time clicking the sacred.exe that method usually gets me through every 5 out of 6 times. I am using UK version btw.

Wtf...the US version is censored?!
Germany got a very strict protection of minors, and the game is really bloody, with dying animations including severed limbs etc.

And it's only rated "12 years and above" (we have another rating system than you: all < 12 & above < 16 & above < 18 & above ).

Don't understand this, I always loved playing US game versions because of the extensive gore (SoF & SoF 2, for example) :cool:

Censored by the publisher, yes. The gore is not in the US version. :mad:
