Special Note



Regarding vitality's 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



004B1913 PUSH 00404816

004B1918 PUSH 222D8522

004B191D PUSHFD

004B191E XOR DWORD PTR SS:ESP4,224559A2

004B1926 POPFD

004B1927 POP EAX

004B1928 JMP SHORT 004B1929

004B1929 CALL NEAR EAX



0068DC80 JMP NEAR DWORD PTR DS:CE2988 00BDE000

0068DC86 PUSH EAX

0068DC87 MOV EAX,DWORD PTR SS:ESP8

0068DC8B MOV DWORD PTR DS:EAXC,50

0068DC92 POP EAX

0068DC93 JMP NEAR DWORD PTR DS:CE2988



00BDE000 PUSHAD

00BDE001 PUSHFD

00BDE002 MOV EAX,DWORD PTR SS:ESP28

00BDE006 CALL 00BDE00B

00BDE00B POP EBX

00BDE00C ADD EBX,35

00BDE00F XOR ECX,ECX

00BDE011 CMP DWORD PTR DS:ECXEBX,EAX

00BDE014 JE SHORT 00BDE01B

00BDE016 ADD ECX,8

00BDE019 JMP SHORT 00BDE011

00BDE01B MOV EAX,DWORD PTR DS:ECXEBX4

00BDE01F PUSH EAX

00BDE020 LEA ESP,DWORD PTR SS:ESP4

00BDE024 POPFD

00BDE025 POPAD

00BDE026 JMP NEAR DWORD PTR SS:ESP-28



00BE1169 POP EAX 004B192B

00BE116A XCHG DWORD PTR SS:ESP,EAX

00BE116D JMP NEAR DWORD PTR DS:53D1C8 kernel32.GetSystemTimeAsFileTime



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 vitality's '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 bullshit and the lying of vitality once again, since many people

still don't seem to understand how lame they really are and let them get

away with these useless propers with bullshit propaganda
