Target game: Rollercoaster Tycoon ... this is not a usual crack Thingies u need: Nothing... except the original rollercoaster cd (you bought it... didn't ya?) Yeah... Step 1. When I first approached on this protection, I started with making a full installation (170 megs). After it I tried to start Rct without a cd. And surprisingly "Please insert cd" box pops-up. Hmm... not an ordinary protection I thought. I made two backups of Rct.exe (.w32 & .bak) and loaded .w32 on W32Dasm89. But I couldn't find that blasted messagebox... so that's for it. So how about Soft-Icing it? Ok... let's give it a shot. Bpx getdrivetypea and launch Rct... no breaks... "Whatta hell?". I tried a couple of others breakpoints but nothing. So I decided to take a good luck at the messagebox. I pressed ok when it asked for the cd and another messagebox..."missing or inaccesible data file" popped-up. Step 2. Then I took a sneak peek at the installation dir and checked out the files in the "Data" folder. "I wonder if something's missing?...". I inserted cd and copied all the data files (you only need csg1.dat & mp.dat) from the Data folder on cd. I took out the cd from the drive and tried Rct again. What?... Can't be... It works... "Whatta weird protection", I thought. But I don't care as long as the game works =)...
