Patch/Crack Starforce Uncle Ernest - The Cursed Statuette

Post by Tgames »

Automatically translated from French.

I propose a patch that will TOTALLY remove the StarForce security from the game Uncle Ernest - The Cursed Statuette!

Exclusive to tgames.fr

Don't hesitate to give your feedback on the patch test.

Patch/Crack Starforce Oncle Ernest - La statuette maudite

Code: Select all

Patch qui supprime la protection Starforce sur le jeu Oncle Ernest - La Statuette Maudite !
(protection anticopie qui vérifiait le code présent sur une zone du disque)

Pour la version FRANCAISE UNIQUEMENT.

Comment l'installer ?

C'est très simple, 

1) copiez-remplacer le fichier ernest5.exe présent dans le dossier :

C:\emme\La Statuette Maudite\

2) Monter l'ISO du jeu sous Daemon Tool/Alcohol 120% ou insérer un CD contenant les fichiers du jeu.
(Peut importe la qualité de l'ISO ça n'a plus aucune importante !)

3) Jouer ! Aucune manipulation à faire tout fonctionnera !


C'est tout, le crack fera fonctionner le jeu sans aucun soucis.
Plus besoin de code pour le CD.

---------------------

This patch will remove the Starforce anti piracy protection on Oncle Ernest - La Statuette Maudite !

Very easy to install :

1) Copy paste the "ernest5.exe" into the folder :

C:\emme\La Statuette Maudite\

2) Mount the game ISO on Daemon Tool/Alcohol 120% or insert a CD which contains the files of the game.
(The quality of the ISO isn't important, just a classic ISO with all files).

3) Play ! No more to do, the rest is already patched.

Update on the patch tests: The game now works perfectly on Windows 7, 8 and 10! Even in 64 bits :bravo:

Even though that wasn't the primary goal, the game runs correctly on recent Windows.

Delighted Mr Vielfaure to have you visit the forum!
I'll also go check out your website, I saw that you've put up some compositions to listen to and I can't wait to hear them.
I really enjoyed the music you made for the Oncle Ernest games back then, it was a great success.
A lot of nostalgia redoing the Oncle Ernest games.

I had to make this patch for the last Oncle Ernest game (La statuette maudite) because it had become unplayable on recent PCs.
Indeed even having the CD and the code to launch it, the game refused to start.
Because Microsoft removed Starforce compatibility (and other DRM protections) which was used to identify an original CD from a copy on Windows 10.
And because of that, the game is no longer playable at all. To the point that no one so far had managed to play it again.
That's the reason why there's no gameplay footage of La Statuette Maudite on Youtube.
Now the game works perfectly and can be played or replayed by everyone.

I was able to chat on Youtube with Eric Viennot, I asked him who owns the game's license nowadays.
He told me that Anuman had taken over the license and planned to eventually re-release the games on tablets and mobiles (which would be great to introduce Oncle Ernest to younger generations).

Small question for you. Do you have any info or were you contacted by Anuman about porting the games to tablets and mobiles? It would be really nice if they still plan to adapt each game to tablets.
Since the game is a living book, it's perfectly suited to tablets!

Hi there! After finding my game again, I installed your patch, I followed the whole tutorial you made, and despite that the game doesn't work, there's a green screen after entering my name. I have sound, but no image... I'm on windows 10 version 1909 in case that matters. Thanks in advance for the reply!

Hello,

I'm looking for a similar patch for an old game killed by STARFORCE.

Alexandra lederman 6, do you think it would be easy to make?

thanks for this great work :D

Hello and thank you very much!
I have a small problem, the game launches, but after entering my name, a green screen appears, I hear the dialogues but well the screen is green and I can't do anything. I tried launching the .exe with 95 98 or XP compatibility settings but nothing works! Would you have a solution? Thanks in advance, and thanks a lot for the crack!

Hi, I'm also trying to bring this game back to life on my PC.

The issue I have is that when launching the autorun.exe of the ISO I DL'd after replacing "ernest5.exe" it asks me where certain files on your computer are, I assume your name is Jérôme: Patch/Crack Starforce Oncle Ernest - La statuette maudite

etc etc so each time I choose the files closest to the description searched but it would be great to automate this!

Actually I can't tell if I have this problem because of the ISO or the "crack" offered here..

Hi, sorry for the late reply.

I reinstalled the game on my end on Windows 10 and I can confirm it's your ISO that's the issue.

I invite you to download the following ISO:

I had no problem with that one.
I played the game for about 2h, never had the slightest message asking me to load a file.

I think some files aren't present or named the same in certain re-editions of the game.
Hence the problem you're experiencing.

Otherwise you can modify your own ISO of the game by replacing the file Media\Dir\Sl_Launch.dxr with this one:

It will force it to repoint itself, but normally it's unnecessary to modify it when you use the right ISO.

In any case, the error definitely doesn't come from ernest5.exe, which doesn't contain the paths to those famous files to load.
