Pyrae: sorry, I didn't know about "Starfuckers" job. But what paid my attention was the way of this relase - the original game files stay untouched. I have loaded original Xpand Rally binaries and it still works with the relase because they cracked Starforce engine, not game. Anyway, they unpacked game files too... for what? I don't know. Maybe for fun, maybe they want to show something...

I also completely agree with your sentence: "he way to go in the future, when 'real' unpacking simply becomes too much puzzle work". It's wise indeed. Unpacking every SF protected software means a lot of work (unless someone develop a generic unpacker) so, it's wiser to find an generic idea like Starforce engine cracking. Then, one crack can work for many StarForce protected games. I even wonder if this one could work? Anyone can try?

Peleon: I coldn't believe too. I was testing the game on all the possible combinations. Only to find an hole in this relase. But the only things I found were more silly messages about Techland and Starforce inside the game.
