While waiting for news on DT4 (and don't forget the new SFN too), a tool to make 1:1 copies of SF is reality.
Also pcodes of the third type have been fully understood.
The generic tool is not public yet, but the strongest protection ever has been finally defeated.
If you can't speak spanish, better to learn it Wink

Good luck Sage386...

for sure 2 cloning tools are harder than 1 to face for sf dev, even if the only one i've seen working is dtools, so i dunno anything about this one

I hope this cloning program never gets to the public... It should stay only among groups... Because SF3 devs will get it too and make their protection once again not clonable...

Sf devs arent dumb. If they want it they get it. But sf is a protection till today not working against clones but against crackers and it will stay this a bit longer. They mainly care about anticrack not anticlone no matter what it takes todoso (legal or illegal) but it wont go to public as Morglum isnt dumb Smile.

btw you dont need it as every alcohol clone of every sf3 game mounted in old dtools 3.52 beta already works perfect no matter of dvd or cd and all versions till sf 3.5.x.

New Dtools is great and i hope all scene grps "sign" the agreement not to crack it so that developers deserve the small payment it will cost in v4 when it comes. Most major grps already said yes to that agreement!

they are indeed not going to release any tool wich is good..maybe be only patchers so you can patch an image..but only possible to patch for specific burner and media it so far works best on media type Mitshubishi(Memorex) ..and recorder plextor . thats what Morglum told me .
so now this is exactly an kinda hack an console group would do for xbox
the starforce disc check is poor ,only cracking quard is very strong .sf dev can't fix this so easy .

they have already steated that daemon toold 4 will be free of charge as always for personal use (and all sf3 function will be included) while dt pro will be for registered paying users...
so, no need to a no crack agreement, dtools 4 with sf3 cloning options will be for everyone as always

wtf, i never heard of that DT 3.52. Latest version is 3.47, so this 3.52 isn't old... So, with this 3.52 beta version, SF3 games are working mounted ?

of course its not public as it was the first big beta from development step against protection using DPM methods, like sf3.

Its very old already 6 months maybe Smile
there are several betas in the beta tasting progress
3.50, 3.52, 3.57, 4.00
since 3.52 all sf3 alcohol mounts with a 100% quality mds work proper without any troubles.

This pseudocode was decompiled to an extent about a week after the release of SC:CT. Unless these chaps have seen every bytecode the VM operates with being used with every option to pipe code through the VM not entirely sure how they can claim to have completely understood it all though. Indeed unless the translation is wrong they appear to be claiming to have found a way to patch the VM rather than completely understanding it, IE they understand enough of it to be able to write in VM bytecodes to evade some calls (nothing new here Wink )

Kinda irrelevant really if they have managed to break all versions up to the most recent. Nice but irrelevant, they've already done their job by resisting cracking for long enough for basically everyone who was going to buy them to do so.

Starforce isn't the strongest protection ever Smile It's certainly been the most famous in the game scene though.

Anyway looks as though they've finally just about caught up with SF3. Probably SF4 coming in the not too distant future as the case was once SF2 had been comprehensively broken/cloned, and I don't think Protection Tech or their customers can complain too much about how resilient it's been to reverse engineering.

End of the day it's 100% impossible to make something that can't be reversed, all you can do is make it take a REALLY long time, which SF achieved pretty well.

Let the race begin properly now that both are starting at the same time I guess Smile
