  • Story/Description:
    Quote:
    Valdo, an ambitious young apprentice working for Da Vinci's disciple Francesco Melzi, is extremely disappointed when the scholar suddenly dismisses him. However, shortly afterwards, he receives a letter from a mysterious patron, asking him to locate one of the great master's missing codices. To access Da Vinci's last residence, the Manoir du Cloux near Ambroise, Valdo tells its new occupant, a courtesan by the name of Babou de la Bourdaisière, that he is Francesco Melzi's apprentice and that he wishes to examine the inventions that still remain on the estate. Under this cover, he starts to scour the estate: Babou's bedroom, Leonardo's workshop, the grounds, and dovecot, leaving no stone unturned. In the course of his investigations, he encounters a wide array of intriguing characters: Babou herself, Saturnin, a suspicious looking guardian, and the King of France himself. To accomplish his mission, he has to solve a series of enigmas devised by the great master himself if Da Vinci's inventions are to function again. On the trail of the genius, Valdo is no more aware of the secrets he is about to unveil as of the danger lurking in the dark.

The Secrets of Da Vinci The Forbidden Manuscript PROPER READ NFO-iND

Nfo :

RELOADED their 'crack' was NEVER protected, but
hey! Ours wasn't either! So why this proper reason?
The exe of RELOADED doesn't start on Win2k/9x
because of a Windows Library Export that is not
defined on older systems. I don't understand why
everybody thinks RELOADED can crack TAGES. Is it
because of the crashing Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
release? Championsheep rally must be nuked for
not.working. They probably took a demo exe for that
also. The game stops after the first race. Take care.

Nice Nfo Razz

The biggest bs release i ever saw Smile

Their exe is definitivly having TAGES PE. How can it be unprotected if the PE says it was protected. But RLD = bad win2k support should be added if the game supported it with orig CD but if MS doesnt support that OS anymore so why should crackers? Smile

Smells like a bad idea (intro shows it) from some wanna be group. Also guy named in*****l is in their intro code decompiled. I wouldnt add a nick into a intro of a scene release while having 100.000 google hits Smile or atleast VM it Smile

Hi,
Code:
 Some notes about the 'iND' proper of 'The Secrets of Da Vinci The
  Forbidden Manuscript':
 
  This release was put out under the IND label in an attempt to release a
  pointless bash nfo. Unable to understand anything at all about
  the TAGES protection, they mistakenly assumed our exe was from some
  unprotected (or demo) source. Of course they are mistaken.
   
  We will not bother wasting too much time explaining why our exe was not
  from an unprotected source to people who are not even able to detect the
  TAGES API, let alone reverse it, but checking the resource tree for IDR_RCP
  in the future will avoid you from making these kind of 'mistakes'.

  We apologize for the fact that Da Vinci did not work on win2k/win9x. We will
  prevent this from happening in the future, even though these OS are no longer
  supported by Microsoft.
