PDM non store final rip of SoS 1937... (how gey :p)

[ G a m e   N o t e s ]

We compared SoS 1937 Store final with PDM exe and found a few striking
differences :
1- PDM exe is compeltly crypted... how odd since the retail version
isn't! I wonder why anyone would want to PE Crypt exe of their
releases. It has never been extactly legit to touch game exe's
that way to "try" to prevent finalization. That just won't
work guys!
2- It's hard to check fully because by PE crypting exe PDM made it hard
to compare but PDM is missing 24 bytes of code at the end the exe.

PDM exe :
SPIRIT~1 EXE       434 176  27/10/99   2:31 spirit of speed.exe
Store final EXE
SPIRIT~1 EXE       401 453  01/11/99  12:31 SPIRIT OF SPEED.EXE

for those who know c dilla protection you know that ICD is the same time
of original EXE. Of course thanks to the Power of RA! CLS comes with
a perfect crack extactly the same size byte for byte with ICD, somehow
you'll notice that PDM doesn't extactly match those and has an extra
33 bytes :).

Of course PDM will prolly deny and come up with arguement like 'ours
was final code' and similar arguements but guys if you're so confident
yours was final would mind telling us why out of nowhere you decided
to PE Crypt your exe for no particular reason? (especially since you
haven't done that for any other game before!)

Even tough PDM release should be nuked for not being store final
we have mercy on you guys and just provide you with the final EXE
since many of you have already downloaded the PDM version that came
out around 10 days ago.

On the bright side I guess PDM made it up with their quality rips of
Gorky 17 & Indiana Jones (even tough ripping amibent sounds is as
discuatable as ripping stadiums). Still it's a nice cracking
job, but that doesn't excuse releasing non store final games! :)

Special thanks to RL for the original!

Unzip, unace, and overwrite the non final SPIRIT OF SPEED.EXE with the
CLS one straight from the retail version :)
