[REQ] Pac-Man World 2 Starforce 3 Crack (RLD Tools inside)

[newone111]

Hi to everyone,
I've opened this thread in search for a cracked *.exe-file for Pac-Man World 2. The game came out in 2004 but was never properly cracked.

I know, I can play it without CD using Starfu** plus DAEMON Tools, but that's not the case here. I simply don't want to install any Starforce drivers on my system.

I've even tried to do this myself using reloaded's reverse engineering tools...failed. I don't know where to start with the tools, as my programming knowledge is a bit limited to HTML and a little bit of Java.

If there's anyone willing to help, I could probably post a link to reloaded's tools (which are 100% legal as far as I know) and upload the original *.exe-file if I'm allowed to.

Thanks in advance.

heh if your languates are just html and java you are well our of your depth... starforce is x86 and you'd have to be debugging (if you can bypass the anti debug) assembly code..

I've also been looking for a crack for this game but, I see, it's hopeless. Its sequel, Pac-Man World 3, has been cracked but this probably will never be.

I still hope, someone (->probably reloaded, since >90% of all those starforce cracks are done by them) steps in here with a valid crack

As far as I know, there are starforce protected games, which have been cracked more than two years after their official release dates (I think The Suffering - Ties that Bind is one of them).

This is a relatively uninteresting "kiddie" game, not e.g. TOCA Race Driver 2 (v1.2), so don't have high hopes. I don't anymore...

Since those two games can be burnt using the modified "twinpeaks mode" (first in CD) and the second one with sf 3.7 in special dvds, i think they didnt got interest for crackers anymore.

Anyway, if i found the CD/DVD i can make a try ()

Enjoy.

btw. here's the link to rld's tools: http://www.glop.org/starforce/remove.php

@Morglum007: a real crack would be great, I know I can play the game with my CD in drive and also using DAEMON TOOLS, but these methods still require Starforce drivers being installed on my system.

the tools are kind of crap anyway... they're useful as an 'insight', thats about it...

SKIDROW has just released a fix for gene troopers, a starforce-protected game released in 2005, let's hope they check out this thread.

[MarzSyndrome]

Anyone know if Reloaded and/or SkidRow are directly contactable somehow? I know a Starforce game or two from a few years back which still haven't been freed from their buggy BS...

[DABhand]

No they arent and no-one here will know.

No point asking.

I didn't want to create a new thread just to say this, but it looks like the Midway Arcade Treasures Deluxe Edition thread has disappeared all of a sudden. Why did it get deleted?

I'm saying this in here since it's one of the Starforce titles I speak of that really needs fixing someday.

[newone111]

It's been quite a long time since I've opened up this thread. Still, anything new?
Can someone plz start a similar topic @ antistarforce.com. Unfortunately, I do not understand any Russian, but since most of the Starforce-crackers are Russians, it could probably help in this case.

[Joe Forster/STA]

I haven't seen anything new around about this game although I'm interested, too. As I wrote above, this is a "kiddie" game so it's very well possible that it will never be cracked.

As for Russian pages, use http://translate.google.com, it's pretty good. Russians (or, more precisely, ex-Soviets, including other nations) are the best programmers in the world so don't be surprised that they are the ones who create AND crack Starforce!

Hi, maybe a good image mounted in daemon tools using fstarforce v3.2 could work without having a bsod. Just an idea, don´t know if it will work. For newer titles protected with starforce 5+ it works.
