Cracking Tutorial #20:
CrAcKiNG the CD Check in Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3
[cracked bY:] sLeEpY¿[FWA/NWA/FTPR8Z] iN 04/2002
[difficulty:] very beginner
[where:] Grab the FLT iSO or buy it from a store...
[tOOLz:] W32Dasm 8.93

ììììììììììììììììììììììììììììììììììììììììììììììììììììììììììììììììììììììììììììììììììììììì

Install the game, pull the cd out, Make the usual 3 copies of Skate3.exe.
Run the game, here is your error message:

CD copy protection check failed.
Please insert an official Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 CD and restart the application.

Yes, this tutorial is a damn shame because its just that easy.

Open W32dasm and check the SDR's, look for that error msg and double click it:

ÕÔÓÒÕÔÓÒÕÔÓÒÕÔÓÒÕÔÓÒÕÔÓÒÕÔÓÒÕÔÓÒÕÔÓÒÕÔÓÒÕÔÓÒÕÔÓÒÕÔÓÒÕÔÓÒÕÔÓÒÕÔÓÒÕÔÓÒÕÔÓÒÕÔÓÒÕÔÓÒÕÔÓÒÕÔÓ

* Possible StringData Ref from Data Obj ->"CD copy protection check failed. "

Change this:
:0040B280 7420				je 0040B2a2
to this:
:0040B280 EB20				jmp 0040B2a2
or this:
:0040B280 7520				jne 0040B2a2

Now run the game, loads without the cd.

Later aLL.
