The Sims 2 Castaway (c) EA Games

01/2008 :..... RELEASE.DATE .. PROTECTION .......: Securom+Serial


1 :.......... DISC(S) .. GAME.TYPE ........: Sims

Special Note:

Regarding vitalitys proper and the nfo they included in their proper of


The Sims Carnival SnapCity:


They quote us out of context from a 3 year old release, where HOODLUM used


a loader to completely bypass the safedisc cdcheck used in that game.


As said, the proper reason then was that a loader exe was used, where the


loader code was used to execute the ENTIRE protected exe. This is a


completely different situation, and emulation of for instance sdapiv2 has


always been permitted.


Unlike they claim in their nfo, their crack is not a fully rebuilt executable


and much of the securom code is still left in their fully rebuilt crack.


Lets analyse their complete gamecode rebuilt crack:

1) their crack is upx compressed, which makes it impossible to see gamecode


directly (This may fool you to believe their exe is fully rebuilt and


may fool you into thinking that exe size says anything about performance)


2) when you check the header of the unpacked vitality crack (upx moved it


somewhere in memory ;-) you can see that vitality merged all Securom


Sections into a 1x9mb mess (which is even used by their fully rebuilt


crack, as we will later show)


3) when you further examine the gamecode (which vitality wants you to believe


its completely rebuilt) you will encounter the following peace of code,


which refers to their messy 9mb section of securom code:

While this same instruction, rebuilt in a proper way would be:

CALL DWORD PTR DS:[53D1C8] ; kernel32.GetSystemTimeAsFileTime

Of course this is just a very small example, and 1 of the many instructions


that are emulated in vitalitys fully rebuilt crack.


As we mentioned above they have 9MB of Securom Code/Values in their messy


section. So they do not adhere to their own arguement that protections


should be removed entirely.


So to sum it up, vitality uses upx to pack their exe to hide their shady


crack methods, lie about fully rebuilding securom and propering valid cracks


by other groups with possibly worse cracks.


We will not repeat this story every time, but we would just like to point


out the bulls**t and the lying of vitality once again, since many people


still dont seem to understand how lame they really are and let them get


away with these useless propers with bulls**t propaganda.
