Not the most interesting repack per se, but I always found it interesting how they got around games not released on PC or Epic exclusives with hard to beat DRM: they pack the Nintendo Switch version + decryption keys + Yuzu + config files. Some even include a custom shortcut directly to the game, and boot Yuzu in fullscreen.
That's how FitGirl repacks Tony Hawk's remakes, for instance.
That's a really creative solution
yeah when i downloaded mario golf super rush, the emulator runs and sounds like the games working but i get a black screen. spent 5mins dicking around with it before i gave up. was still impressed at the simplicity of it all though
Switching the renderer to vulkan helped for me
thanks mate, solved it for me too
For me it was downloading Quarantine that i originally had in 1994 on 3DO. Not the game so much, just that i totally forgot copy protection was done via physical codes back then.
here's how it looked, for example the game would give you a Weight and MPH value and you'd have to supply the 3 digit number that corresponds

"This a scan of the "Red Card", a copy protection scheme for Quarantine. This was black text on a deep red background that was hard to copy by black and white copiers of the era. Color copiers, which cost about a dollar a page had to be used. "
The copy protection for Quarantine was particularly interesting because it was thematic. Given the weight of a pedestrian and the speed of your car, how far will the body fly?
about 3 fiddy. actually i have no idea don't tell anybody though thanks
The LinuxRulez repacks sometimes include Windows games that work almost natively on Linux with some WINE magic.
With the way you worded it, I just want to make sure you're aware that practically every windows game works on linux nowadays. You can install windows repacks/anything through lutris with minimal tweaking. Not only do cracks almost always work on linux, they sometimes even help compatibility by stripping out DRM junk.
Personally, I haven't gotten a crack to work that wasn't a LinuxRulez or Linux native repack. I can keep trying though. I know others have gotten it to work.
Hi, I was going to write a quick reply with general linux cracking notes, and it turned into not a quick guide: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/19693
I'd give you gold but I have no money and that's not a thing here. Cheers pal.
There was a DODI GTA4 repack that included a shit ton of mods. That was a really neat one.
Crazy, I'm 99% sure he just put out a GTA5 repack that is supposed to be an insane overhaul.
