│  To install the game, simply unzip all the files into a temporary          │
│  directory, make a directory to hold the game in (e.g. C:\STAR), then      │
│  un-RAR the game into that directory:                                      │
│                                                                            │
│  unrar x -v -y starcrft.001 c:\star                                        │
│                                                                            │
│  After the game is decompressed, run SETUP.EXE in that directory to        │
│  configure your registry settings, then run SC.EXE to play!                │
│                                                                            │
│  ***SPECIAL NOTE***                                                        │
│                                                                            │
│  To run the game using a special "virtual patch" crack that leaves all     │
│  of the executables untouched (and therefore less likely to cause CRC      │
│  problems) run the game using SC.EXE. Do NOT just run Starcraft.exe, as    │
│  it has not been patched. I have used this loader mechanism in the hopes   │
│  that a battle.net key generator can be coded in the future, as a          │
│  "virgin" copy of the executables is essential to battle.net play.         │
│                                                                            │
│  If you have a weird setup, or something that just causes my loader to     │
│  not work, then I have included a workaround. Run SC-PATCH.EXE to          │
│  hard patch the game, after which you can use Starcraft.exe to play.       │
│  The down-side to this is that battle.net play will be impossible,         │
│  even with a future key-generator. Use SC.EXE if at all possible.          │
│                                                                            │
│     DO NOT RUN SC-PATCH.EXE UNLESS SC.EXE DOESN'T WORK FOR YOU!!!!         │
│                                                                            │
│                           Cracking Notes/Comments                          │
│                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~                         │
│  Well, what can I say. This has got to be one of the hardest titles I      │
│  have ever ripped. The crack was trivial, but ripping this game involved   │
│  understanding and coding utilities for Blizzard's MoPaQ file packer. MPQ  │
│  (as it is better known as) is a complex file packaging/indexing system    │
│  that combines one-way hash tables for file lookup, encryption on files    │
│  and indexes, custom tuned compression code...a veritable nightmare.       │
│                                                                            │
│  The game originally came shipped with a 600M INSTALL.EXE file (really     │
│  an installer stub + giant MPQ file), and this was the file that had to    │
│  be ripped apart. Needless to say, I think I have done it...it was a LOT   │
│  of work, and I tested this as much as humanly possible, so I hope you     │
│  all enjoy it. If you have any problems with this crack, please let me     │
│  know via IRC in #razor...I'm never claim to be perfect. =)                │
│                                                                            │
│  As for BATTLE.NET support, I have decided after much analysis and talk    │
│  with other respected crackers, that it cannot be done without some MAJOR  │
│  coding. All Starcraft CD's came bundled with a unique CD-Key that is      │
│  embedded in the STARDAT.MPQ file on install. Each user on BATTLE.NET      │
│  must meet two important requirements: (a) they have a unique CD-Key and   │
│  (b) their executables (and DLLs) are untouched. It is theoretically       │
│  possible to create a generator for these CD-Keys after collecting a       │
│  bunch of codes, but that is only half the battle...you then have to       │
│  generate a random valid code, and insert it into the STARDAT.MPQ. Much    │
│  easier said than done. I did code the crack for this game in a loader     │
│  format to allow for a future generator to be "plugged in".                │
│                                                                            │
│  Once again, I *MAY* code a generator for this depending on how feasible   │
│  I think it is, but it will take time. Do not harrass me...I will do what  │
│  I can. Just use KALI or a similar IPX emulator to play via Internet for   │
│  now, and if you REALLY have to play battle.net, buy the game.             │
│                                                                            │

³  To install the game, simply unzip all the files into a temporary          ³
³  directory, make a directory to hold the game in (e.g. C:\STAR), then      ³
³  un-RAR the game into that directory:                                      ³
³                                                                            ³

³  After the game is decompressed, run SETUP.EXE in that directory to        ³
³  configure your registry settings, then run SC.EXE to play!                ³
³                                                                            ³
³  ***SPECIAL NOTE***                                                        ³

³  To run the game using a special "virtual patch" crack that leaves all     ³
³  of the executables untouched (and therefore less likely to cause CRC      ³
³  problems) run the game using SC.EXE. Do NOT just run Starcraft.exe, as    ³
³  it has not been patched. I have used this loader mechanism in the hopes   ³
³  that a battle.net key generator can be coded in the future, as a          ³
³  "virgin" copy of the executables is essential to battle.net play.         ³
³                                                                            ³
³  If you have a weird setup, or something that just causes my loader to     ³
³  not work, then I have included a workaround. Run SC-PATCH.EXE to          ³
³  hard patch the game, after which you can use Starcraft.exe to play.       ³
³  The down-side to this is that battle.net play will be impossible,         ³
³  even with a future key-generator. Use SC.EXE if at all possible.          ³
³                                                                            ³
³     DO NOT RUN SC-PATCH.EXE UNLESS SC.EXE DOESN'T WORK FOR YOU!!!!         ³

³                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~                         ³
³  Well, what can I say. This has got to be one of the hardest titles I      ³
³  have ever ripped. The crack was trivial, but ripping this game involved   ³
³  understanding and coding utilities for Blizzard's MoPaQ file packer. MPQ  ³
³  (as it is better known as) is a complex file packaging/indexing system    ³
³  that combines one-way hash tables for file lookup, encryption on files    ³
³  and indexes, custom tuned compression code...a veritable nightmare.       ³
³                                                                            ³
³  The game originally came shipped with a 600M INSTALL.EXE file (really     ³
³  an installer stub + giant MPQ file), and this was the file that had to    ³
³  be ripped apart. Needless to say, I think I have done it...it was a LOT   ³
³  of work, and I tested this as much as humanly possible, so I hope you     ³
³  all enjoy it. If you have any problems with this crack, please let me     ³
³  know via IRC in #razor...I'm never claim to be perfect. =)                ³
³                                                                            ³
³  As for BATTLE.NET support, I have decided after much analysis and talk    ³
³  with other respected crackers, that it cannot be done without some MAJOR  ³
³  coding. All Starcraft CD's came bundled with a unique CD-Key that is      ³
³  embedded in the STARDAT.MPQ file on install. Each user on BATTLE.NET      ³
³  must meet two important requirements: (a) they have a unique CD-Key and   ³
³  (b) their executables (and DLLs) are untouched. It is theoretically       ³
³  possible to create a generator for these CD-Keys after collecting a       ³
³  bunch of codes, but that is only half the battle...you then have to       ³
³  generate a random valid code, and insert it into the STARDAT.MPQ. Much    ³
³  easier said than done. I did code the crack for this game in a loader     ³
³  format to allow for a future generator to be "plugged in".                ³
³                                                                            ³
³  Once again, I *MAY* code a generator for this depending on how feasible   ³
³  I think it is, but it will take time. Do not harrass me...I will do what  ³
³  I can. Just use KALI or a similar IPX emulator to play via Internet for   ³
³  now, and if you REALLY have to play battle.net, buy the game.             ³
³                                                                            ³
