------- Additional Comments From focht@gmx.net 2007-03-06 14:31 ------- Hello,
some addendum...
To play with this protection, you can download "GameMaker 7.0" (http://www.yoyogames.com/gamemaker/try). It contains the same type of copy protection and is a *much* smaller download (8 mb).
If you don't want to expose any filesystems (even read only), you can use any loop device for fake volume. Make some small disk image
# dd if=/dev/zero of=fake.img bs=512 count=1440
and attach the file to loopback device
# losetup /dev/loop0 fake.img
(or any other /dev/loopX if already used)
Don't forget to grant access to block device and symlink
ln -s /dev/loop0 $(WINEPREFIX)/dosdevices/c::
This seems to be sufficient to keep volume queries and device ioctls from that kind of protection happy.
Regards
