Version 0.93a - November 6, 2000
By Niclas Pennskog
For use with Hardware CineMaster C 1.x and 3.0 only!
The Hardware CineMaster S 2.x and Software CineMaster are different products.
Note! The hack will only work with
RPC1 DVD-ROM drives and does not handle RPC2 drives. RPC2 drives have region
prodection in the drive. You can check your drive with the
DriveInfo
utility.
CCrack 0.4 includes an untested experimental RPC2 hack reported to work for
some users.
I did not write the hack. The author wishes to be anonymous.
Windows 9x
There is a small application called CCrack
that will modify one of the driver files and make the driver region free. CCrack
supports a number of different driver versions.
When you run CCrack and press OK the driver file will be modified (after a backup of the file has been made). The driver is located in the Windows system directory.
When you run CCrack you will see a dialog with a couple of radio buttons with the
different regions.
If you press OK, the driver file will be modified. The driver is located in the Windows system directory.
The region setting in the dialog is only for a few movies that include a
check for the correct region and will not play with the region free driver.
These movies can be played by selecting the correct region in the dialog.
Most movies do not use this function and will always work without the need to
run CCrack ever again.
Windows 2000
The author of the hack has reported some difficulties using CCrack 0.5 in
Windows 2000 (SP1) but it works fine on my system (Swedish Windows 2000 SP1 and
SP2 with DVD Player 1.9). I have an RPC1 DVD-ROM. Read this
document if you have any troubles.
