/me slaps ByteMare for the stupid answer

[ByteMare]

Now why was that a stupid answer? The pencil and paper are among the best tools you can get....dumping your notes in wordpad just before the puter dies/BSOD is just annoying. Besides, I personally find it much easier to make notes to papers instead of tracing like hell.

Unpackers are just prechewed stuff, if you wanna learn something, learn unpacking "by hand" or if you wanna do a shortcut, study src-code (if available).

´nuff said.

automatic unpacking is often faster but unpacking by hand is not a problem for me.

[ByteMare]

Now, that is a good thing

nothing like resurrecting a ~3 year old thread is there...

the "so i'd give up if i were you" was because i've seen this before, the sheer fact that he thought that the strings did the checking showed his lack of comprehension on the whole thing, and i know the amount of work ahead of him that he would have to learn (which is where the vast majority of people give up and expect to be spoonfed)...

LOL I am surprised the post is still there after all that time.

yup, that's correct. No hazzle to get a 1:1 backup, but a little more complicated to remaster the whole thing, include all updates and a nocd on a 700mb disc....still love the fact when installing all needed files got their correct sizes...then it was, like you said, piece of piss....pretty much generic for many of their games

I guess Peee was like the "Che Guevara" of this forum hahahahaha.

True hurts, and the fact is that making a crack is not so easy, also sayd someone that is not right just told "give up cause is to hard" hurts too.

The google common problem is that it will search what you wrote even that is not what you want; so have to be patient and sometimes lucky (As Google says) to found what you are looking for whit the words you put on it.

Also, the scene active crackers are working pretty well so the NOCD protection make-it-your-self has become useful and the most common problem that i see is to copy the NOCD parameters from an .exe on some language to make another work on they native language.
Eg: Resident Evil 1 for PC; is so old that no ones care if the NOCD crack work or not; thats disappointing and for that reason some people (like me) come here looking for help and the one person that was helping ... Was banned hahahaha.

Helping or trying to help is very nice but abusing other forum members is not. By the way, he's not banned anymore.

@Joe Forster. Sorry for the late, but here is the Cab Viewer 14.0. Sadly, it does not work whit most recent InstallShield CAB files like on Max Payne 3 and newer releases; otherwise it did a pretty good work on games since 2010 to back.

Feel free to erase this post; make it here cause i did not found the PM button to answer you.

Also, if you can, it will be nice post the link on GameCopyWorld link due the one posted there was a very old version.

Thanks.

[Joe Forster/STA]

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean: is this software too old/new, is software on our site too old/new. Where were they mentioned? GameCopyWorld doesn't really have a place for such programm, some subforums here do.

(Gotta stop it here when I still more or less recognize letters...)
