Since there's still the CD and all games lying unsecured next to the executer, I could do for the CD:
Earsing all files. Files and Folders are still exisisting just have nothing to care. I made the same technic to Eshap's French with Rayman. From the CD was just some Kilobytes left
and still the game ran normal. And for the game files I had that idea:
I won't include them in the installation. If the executer detects that those are missing, it tells the user that the game needs an one-time "activation", checks for a valid CD or looks up if GOG's RF is installed and download the neccassary files from an encrypted URL. After the "activation" the games should start without any checks or DRM or whatever you call it.
How about that?
, no no my friend. Earsing a CD-ROM by software is impossible. I meant it different. The patch is dependet on a CD-Image format like ISO or BIN/CUE. In this case I you find all files as .tra . Those files are binary track files of the CD-Image. The problem here is simply: The file RA01.TRA is a modified Rayman Platin Collection / Collector CD as Bin. All other are compressed music files as OGG. The plan was to earse all files in RA01.TRA and decrease filesize from 200MB -> 2MB. That would also prevent hacktivation.
For some reason, DOSBox keeps exiting out whenever I try to launch the game. Also, I don't see the intro anymore. I am mounting an ISO of an NTSC Rayman CD that was a rerelease by SoftKey.
