greetings

when i was cracking Brian Laras Cricket (codemasters)..i came upon a section of code...

bpx getdrivetypea

(ok..now the proggy did not break...)...

then i tried bpmb getdrivetypea x

(this time proggy break..but cant use f8 or f10..cursor simply

wont move..i mean i cant trace...)

what could be the problem...

(i tried SUPERBPM by elicz..but still no work...)

i suppose program has some anti-trace mechanism..please explain how to get past..

please help me...

best regards

Hello,
I found similar question in General forum. But I can answer there too.

It is very old trick, which EliCZ published maybe 1-2 years ago. They set debug breakpoint and if SICE trace, it stop on it. It is not very clear because on Win9x it can sometimes do problems, but on WinNT it working fine. They used it on Win9x too, but I think they stole it from EliCZ (maybe not ).

Hello, are you working on Brian Lara Cricket update?. I was also looking to crack it's update, (for noball fix) but could not bypass SecuROM protection. If you want to skip the cdrom detection method, there is a simple trick, search "%sinit\cricket.val" and change it to "cricket.ini ". Now it will try to search cricket.ini that is in the same directory, where you run the .exe, and skip the cdrom.

Hullo,

Can you be a little bit more specific on "what" it is that you are trying to do?

In "cracking " BLC, are you trying to bypass CD copy protection? or are you trying to generate a Cd key or bypassing the CD check, or what ??

A simple way, if F10 or F8 do not work, is to use the commands T and P in a macro like thus...

* Using the T command *

Try using T =cs:eip 50 (check out the ice manual for the meaning)

* Using the P command *

1. Breakpoint on the location where you want the tracing to stop
2. Create something like

MACRO pfft = "P; pfft;"

This should loop you around using P until you hit the BP. Of course, you can also use P RET instead of P.
