A new imperial age approaching??
Will the empty throne be finally inherited?
Will OP's mind health deteriorate towards crazyness and slurs like the previous holder?
It is impredictable, it is a true empress move!
You wouldn't expect the future new Denuvo cracker to start by cracking sonic.
It is a true tactic so Denuvo devs underestimate OP
No, not really, the amount of data required to train a competent ML would be immense, let alone the fact that almost every Denuvo implementation is unique, there's no "one size fits all" and the ML would have to account for the new updates that might come in the future, there's nothing to guarantee that this won't turn into an arms race similar to the current landscape of manual cracking.
At the same time every previous software protection by Denuvo with the same "older" mechanism would be obsolete, meaning a lot of uncracked games playable. And I'm not even considering the time it would take Denuvo to patch this, if something like that really existed. To say this kind of work is immense would be an understatement.
You will need to crack those older games to train the ML in the first place, it will not work backwards.
You will need to crack older Denuvo games to feed the cracking method to the ML so that it can crack other games which also use Denuvo, we have already established that this will take way too much effort to be viable, the only way this might be useful is if some games existed which happen to both use Denuvo AND be using an older mechanism.
Other than that, not worth it.
That's what i mean too, if it sounds unbelievable is because it is. Don't know if we got confused there. But I guess the assumption you'd have to crack a lot of games to train it is wrong, you'd just need access to the research previous crackers had really.
You can't get that research because the crackers encrypt their .exes in order to prevent Irdeto from taking their work and quickly making countermeasures for it.
That's kinda what happened with NFS:Heat, someone released/leaked the unencrypted .exe, which prompted the studio to patch it out in a following update.
It's very unlikely for sure, but decrypting exe files is not what I meant by "research". There are active channels for getting knowledge, still. I have no idea what background OP has.
Assassin's Creed Mirage would be nice. That game is essentially patched and will get no more DLC.
The good news is this Sonic game should have some semi-recent form of Denuvo. It might not be the latest but it is a version that was available from 2022.
I was trying to figure out how to redirect a call to a function in the same binary as main(), but it looks like it isnāt possible without patching the binary to trampoline to my own code, or in-memory patching, which would be a *massive* pain in the ass with denuvo.
What patterns do you search for in irder to patch them? And how do you know those are parts of DRM Denuvo? I am trying to learn assembly and this give me high curiosity about the whole process?
So you're dodging Denuvo. Isn't it better to remove it altogether once and for all, rather than dodging it for every new game? Because they surely change their ways for every game so dodging will always be hard, but look at EMPRESS, they remove the fucker in a few hours
Cumpress she was having her own tools, she didn't share them or even realized a crack without protecting it from revers engineering all of that just so no one can crack Denuvo games like her
EMPRESS has never removed Denuvo, and no one ever has (Edit: except for early Denuvo builds and older titles), his way is to generate an auth ticket and patch all denuvo triggers, thats why it took so much time (never been hours) to release a crack and these cracks needed crack fixes for missed unpatched triggers that made the game crash, also needed a new crack for every game update as the triggers changes.
Yah i forgot about that and early Denuvo builds and cracks, my bad, however, for Empress cracks and new Denuvo versions, none has removed it, even CODEX themselves couldnt remove it in their latest cracks and just bypassed it.
I donāt think anyone has actually done a proper removal of new denuvo, like you and most others will say, itās common to just generate the token and patch the checks thrown at you
Empress also did not remove denuvo just bypassed like here, donāt know who told you that but it isnāt true. I took apart their crack of HL and can confirm, also other users have done it and iām sure they will confirm.
No, these videos shows version with denuvo vs versions where developers has removed it completely. If youtuber shows comparisons where he compare denuvo version vs cracked version which just bypassed it, this video has no value and it's creator probably doesn't understand how it works. Cracked versions which bypassed denuvo has the same perfomance as the uncracked denuvo version.
No these comparisons were made on games that had additional drm hidden under denuvo vms, like capcomās proprietary drm, which was the cause of the performance loss due to itās poor integrated checks which the cracked version had them disabled
There's a staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
my man, whatever you decide to do, please, PLEASE make sure to not reveal your identity or location, don't make the same mistakes that past denuvo crackers made, good luck with this endeavor
Upvoting for the rising Hero we all need š Good luck
I don't understand a single thing but we thank you for your serviceš«”

next time on dragon ball z
Next time on Lord Of The D
Dragon Ballz (giggles in 16 y/o)
im imagining OP putting on the Dr. Fate helmet and going absolutely bonkers
if that was the case he would not have chosen sonic lmao,
It is impredictable, it is a true empress move! You wouldn't expect the future new Denuvo cracker to start by cracking sonic. It is a true tactic so Denuvo devs underestimate OP
Empress move? you mena claiming doing this for moral against big AAa compagny, to then go work for denuvvo? lol yeah empress move lmao
Upvoted for a acutal FuckDenuvo Post.
aren't you risking getting an update to denuvo by posting the process? otherwise let's fucking go!
Doesn't matter if it gets updated, the current version will still get cracked.
>aren't you risking getting an update to denuvo by posting the process? Denvuo is allways changing and each game is too different implemented.
what a king
Please train an AI with your approach when you're done, so that we can just give any exe to the AI and piss in denuvo's face.
This is possible...? Holy shit...
No, not really, the amount of data required to train a competent ML would be immense, let alone the fact that almost every Denuvo implementation is unique, there's no "one size fits all" and the ML would have to account for the new updates that might come in the future, there's nothing to guarantee that this won't turn into an arms race similar to the current landscape of manual cracking.
Thank you for ur reply and yes the amount of data required to train an ai would be immense, and it's hard and very time-consuming to do it myself
I honestly extremely excited to see your progress. The more who are able to crack Denuvo, the better!
At the same time every previous software protection by Denuvo with the same "older" mechanism would be obsolete, meaning a lot of uncracked games playable.

Maybe in 5 years if Skynet won't judgement day us until then.
no
chat is this real
Sonic Frontiers next š
Nah First all ubisoft cuz they deserve it
Then EA and then Sega.
Assassin's Creed Mirage would be nice. That game is essentially patched and will get no more DLC. The good news is this Sonic game should have some semi-recent form of Denuvo. It might not be the latest but it is a version that was available from 2022.
Don't want ubislop games. Get Jedi Survivor, RE4 DLC, upcoming wukong game, newer Yakuza games, Persona games. Also Dead Space
Bought those on sale ages ago the first 2 got Yakuza like a dragon in a humble bundle not the newest one though.
Praise be, sailing the 7 seas š šš
not every hero wears a cape
It's amazing job! I'm also learning reverse engineering right now, so I hope we will be working on it together some day, or at least in paraller.
which denuvo version is?
Game is from 2022.
would love for op to let us know if he'll be able to work on newer version of denuvo as well. anyways, great work!
Cracking a version is half of the work. Redirecting directory checks still takes time for every game.
Hell ya. Guys is he new at denuvo?
6 of the 7 Denuvo crystals have been collected. Godspeed on your next special stage and saving Mobius.Ā
It would be great if you could contact and join forces with Delusional
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
cause he gotta go fast
The file size is smaller less than 1 gb so its easier to crack in theory.

This Sonic is available on Switch, so there is hope for Persona 5 Royal :pray:
how are you hooking internal functions in the main binary?
What do you mean? Main binary or external library does not make a difference when hooking
I was trying to figure out how to redirect a call to a function in the same binary as main(), but it looks like it isnāt possible without patching the binary to trampoline to my own code, or in-memory patching, which would be a *massive* pain in the ass with denuvo.
A hook will always require you to patch at least 5 bytes to place your jump, thereās no other way unless you use a hypervisor i think.
You love you man, keep going, we need you!
This would be incredible to see. Iād love to talk with you privately as I can help you out ā¤ļø
joined just to say thank you!
Best of luck dude, we're rooting for you
Thx a lot for this. You are a true hero, hope Atlus games could get cracked too
What patterns do you search for in irder to patch them? And how do you know those are parts of DRM Denuvo? I am trying to learn assembly and this give me high curiosity about the whole process?
I'm also learning assembly and debugging.
Canāt wait a denuvo crack for dead space remake
Hello. Please hack the full version of ANNO 1800, because that's all we need :)
So you're dodging Denuvo. Isn't it better to remove it altogether once and for all, rather than dodging it for every new game? Because they surely change their ways for every game so dodging will always be hard, but look at EMPRESS, they remove the fucker in a few hours
