The macrovision ppl awarded him by updating the protection, and now everything is back to Step 1. So, no, SDAPI has not yet been fully cracked.(at least the newest version). This is however the most advanced SDAPI crack up to date.

EDIT, my bad, 2 SDAPI CALL ESI's in the entire exe :P

To be honest I'm fucking glad I'm no cracker...
Worst thing is, I understand what you say, but I dont have any ability to do what you said. I'm just so far, i know where to find text references in Olly...
Anyways, after about 2 weeks of reading tutorials I fully gave it up...doesnt seem like my dream hobby...
Of course i know what ESI is, but i dont really know why DABHand said he didn't expect them using ESI for it ? Whats so special with ESI ?

The satisfaction of having finally cracked the copy protection is proportionate to the difficulty of the copy protection. That's one of the main reasons why true crackers need no girlfriends.
