-* FF7 Cracker v1.01 *-
Hello you!
-> This Crack will remove the CD1 check protection of Final Fantasy VII
v1.00 FRENCH version only . It is usefull only if you have a copy of
the CD of FF7 and you want to use it ('cause you don't have the
original one :).
-< Alors, comment τa marche, comment, τa marche?!?! Since I have released
this crack, I have received tens of emails which asked me how to copy
the CD1 of FF7. Don't you have thought a bit before asking me this
question? :)... if I have made a crack, it's to defeat all the
protection no? hum? So, to copy this anoying CD... just copy the 'ff7'
directory and label your copy as the original (FF7DISC1)... don't take
care of the 650Mo files or of the other tracks... all this is only copy
protection and this crack will tell FF7 to ignore them :).
So, you are reading the nfo file of the crack of 'Final Fantasy VII
v1.00 french'. What will do this crack?.. it will just remove the
protections concerning the CD 1 of FF7. Why?... this outreageous game
has an excellent CD protection against copy. If you wanna copy the game
for a friend or for any other reason, you'll see that the Installation
CD, CD2 and CD3 will copy without problems and will be accepted by the
game. But CD1 is protected like this:
Track 1: The Game's Data
Track 2: long blank Audio track
Track 3: short blank Audio track
Track 4: a small Data track
-> Total exceed 650Mo
Most of CD-R's have a size of 650Mo, so, you probably won't be able to
copy this CD. But, even if you could do it, if you use to copy CD,
you'll notice that the 4th track, with faked data, is imposible to copy
with a standard CD writer (if you can, you're the God of CD-Writing...
please contact me :)... I have tried with the last versions of Easy-CD Pro,
CDR-Win, DAO, and Easy CD Creator Deluxe... they never want to copy a
Data track after a Audio track.
... like every human being that has an internet connexion, I searched for a
crack but I didn't find one, one month after I bought the game.
That evening, I found one, but it looked like it was very bad and unusefull,
and it didn't work with my french version (yes, I'm french, didn't you
notice it by my very poor english? :). So, that night, I decided to learn
how to crack 'cause I was really fed up with this game!... I downloaded
W32Dasm 8.9, launched it and read the Help file... I just knowed C/C++
language and I must admit that assembly language afraided me.. I didn't
understand a word!...
First, I noticed that there was a file named CDCheck.exe in my FF7
directory... I thought that it was really dummy and tried all the cheats
I was used to do in those case... nothing happened... then... I made a
last test... yeah! CDCheck.exe was a fake! It didn't control or test
nothing! Then I interested myself to the file named 'ff7.exe'... after
all my test, I was sure that all the protection scheme was in it... so
I disassembled it!... it was the first time I did something like that
and I thought I had to give up and wait for real crackers to help me.
But, I searched in the file... with the Help file of W32Dasm I understood
some things and finally, I had some idea, I searched, etc...
As I told you, I didn't know nothing in assembly language, but some
things like 'cmp' or 'jmp' was a bit meanfull to me (as a C/C++ coder)
... 'compare' and 'jump'...
To resume... at least, I found some string reference named 'FF7DISK1',
'FF7DISK2' and 'FF7DISK3'... I noticed that it was the name of the 3CD
of the game... I understood all the test system of Squaresoft in about
2 hours... finally I found those lines at the end of the 'FF7DISK1'
section... the program tested some things on the CD and at the end, it
simply verify the return values like this:
:00404CFE 83BDF0FCFFFF00 cmp dword ptr [ebp+FFFFFCF0], 00000000
:00404D05 7425 je 00404D2C
:00404D07 83BDECFCFFFF00 cmp dword ptr [ebp+FFFFFCEC], 00000000
:00404D0E 741C je 00404D2C
:00404D10 83BDF8FCFFFF00 cmp dword ptr [ebp+FFFFFCF8], 00000000
:00404D17 7413 je 00404D2C
:00404D19 83BDF4FCFFFF00 cmp dword ptr [ebp+FFFFFCF4], 00000000
:00404D20 740A je 00404D2C
:00404D22 C705684C990001000000 mov dword ptr [00994C68], 00000001
... to crack this, after some tests, I have thought that if I simply delete
this code, perhaps it would work.... I found an instruction wich seemed to
do nothing (0x90) and I used it an all this code...
I don't think that you want to know how I have done my final Visual C++
program that you'll use to crack your Final Fantasy VII... so, I just thank
you to have read all this text, and I hope that you'll enjoy the final
result.
Have phⁿn!
