"It searchs the file NTICE.SYS and the registry key of Numega". So, I understood you suggest that SICE can't be even installed. I had in mind that SICE can be installed but not RUNNING. I didn't tried it with user level debuggers like Ollydbg since I'm not using Olly at all. I use Olly to discover software compatibility malfunctions, not for cracking.
"you can still run Pace protected software without need to hide these data"
I mean with installed (but not running) SICE.
About incompatibility. As I said in "StarForce going down?" thread: in my humble opinion it's not wise to use drivers to protect any software. As life shows, it usually ends with USB/FDD/HDD problems. Can anyone pay such a high price? Ask XtremeProtector, StarForce and PACE developers... do they have new customers?
Mentioned unpackers were build for v4 and v5 and stay pretty private (I don't have them too). In my opinion all powerful unpackers should stay private, at least not accessible to the developer who made the defeated protection. It's endless job and if someone want to learn then he/she has a lot tutorials including XtremeProtector (Ukraininan) and Armadillo.
Everything is unpackable... it's always matter of time only.
Regards.
