I think this software is Protected by Trymedia's ActiveMark

Can anyone point me to the right direction in cracking this kind of protection? or has anybody successfully cracked ActiveMark?


btw: FYI i already searched google before i posted this info. i found one article thanks...

anticrack.de forums, do a search for activemark, it's all there.

Confirmed,
Lunar dust's tut is working perfectly. Tried on so many target.
But there's 1 trick left. If you unpack under WinXP, unpacked file won't run on win9x family. But error will show you the offset.
Nop that line. Add esp, dword ptr [xxxxxxxx].
Now unpacked file will run fine on all win machine.
Anyway, any1 tried bejeweled deluxe 1.861 yet? because unpacked file complain errors. But still can be run with no text displayed. "Thanks for registering. Click here to continue" text is missing/not displayed.

Yep, not difficult to crack a trymedia protected game. It seems the protection has changed a bit from the first trymedia releases (more anti debug and anti-shitty stuff) but most of them for Win9x. Very easy in 2k/XP.

A pitty that we cannot have the trymedia packer itself, should be nice to play a bit with it, protecting our classics notepad and calc.exe ....or maybe someone has it?
