Q. What is a crack? What is a keygen? What do I do with them? A. Of all the visitors to wolfyserver, I assumed everyone knows what is and how to use cracks and exploits- since you wouldn't be searching for them if you did not know. Well, everyone has to learn someday so here goes. A crack is a program made to give users full features and access instead of shareware and trial versions. They fool the software into thinking that they have bought it. A keygen is a program that uses algorithms to make valid serial numbers for software. Usually, a more sophisticated piece of software would require cracks instead of serials, but that does vary. These are very easy to use, simply follow the instructions on the .txt (windows notepad) or on the .nfo file (use notepad to open). In general, for keygens, calculate the key and insert into the requirement box of the software. For cracks, just run the .exe. Or, extract the file into the target program folder, and then execute. Sometimes when it does not work, check the target address. It might be set to a default folder that is not the software. Just put C:\Program Files\FolderofProgram\ or something like that.
Q. Why can't I open the crack and/or keygen I just downloaded? A. First, be sure you have a PC-IBM compatible computer running windows 9x. Second, make sure you have the right decompression utility such as winzip8 (shareware - crack available), winRAR (shareware - crack available), or stuffit expander (freeware). I think many people know this already but I am sure it is going to come up on my email inbox. Most files stored online are compressed, to both save uploading time (when you have to post the file from your computer to a internet server, that can be accessed by others) and downloading time (when you download a file from somewhere). Most files are saved in .zip form, most popular. Some installers are .exe (self extracting), so a decompression utility is not needed. Other files, commonly warez and cracks, are stored in .ace or .rar form. These compression modes are far better than winzip's. They can pack a whole game into about 20 (usually 2mb each) .ace files, where you download one at a time and activate winRAR or winACE when you have all the files. Then, the program will sort the files and pack them into a neat folder, where you can install or play the game. Now back to compression, basically that's it - all that you really need is winRAR which unstuffs .zip .ace .rar and .sit (stuffit expander form). Cracks are available in 'cracks' section for these files.
Q. Where are the instructions to the provided cracks and/or keygens? A. Usually, in most crack archives, there's the program file and/or a .txt (text) and a .nfo (info) file. The text file you open with notepad, and so applies for the .nfo file. The .nfo file's icon has a binary 1010 sequence picture on the front. All you do is drag the .nfo file to notepad.
Q. When i try to run a crack or a prog listed here, i get an error message saying "msvb6run.dll needed" or of some sort. Where can I get this file? A. In our Archives listing in the main page or in our site map, under the menu, we have listed needed files for windows, for our cracks and keygens to run.
Q. Do these cracks work for apple macintosh? A. No, get the hell out. I mean, with all respect, they do not. Cracks and keygens mostly run on windows9x. Windows 2000 and NT, with my knowledge, will not support these files. I have also heard these don't work well for ME, well just for one keygen. So keep that in mind.
Q. When I right click and 'save target as'. all i get is a html file instead of the crack or keygen. A. This means, visitors were intended to be transported to an info page. Some of our cracks have infos, the ones before December. They were removed to allow more cracks to be posted with more efficiency.
Q. I have the serial what do I do now? A. This is pretty simple, go to the program and select, if there is one, 'about' or 'help'. This will conjure an info screen regarding the product and registration information. If it is shareware, then just enter the serial. If you are using cracks, this is done automatically by the patch.
Q. Ok, can you send me this crack? A. Unless this is a request, the answer is no. Visitors who do not have the time to click 'cracks' and download the 5-10kb file do not deserve the crack and neither my response. Unless in a special circumstance, I will not send the file - it takes up my time too, to attach and send the file.
Q. Why can't I download a file? I get a 'forbidden' error on my GoZilla and Download Accelerator. A. There should be a popup that allows you to send the file back to the browser for processing. Otherwise, right click on the download image or link, and press 'save target as'. This should solve the problem
Q. Why are crack and site updates not performed on schedule? A. Usually they are, or I might do it one day before or a day after. If site is not updated in a while, it means brinkster is not working, hotmail is not working, or I am dead and my secret message box will be sent out in a week, if i don't check it every week.
Q. The patch won't work for my software. A. Check the compatibility versions. All cracks should be updated on wolfyserver. If not email me at tbbw@mrwoof.com . In addition, you must have the program you are cracking closed for it to work. Install the original software and then the crack, is the most reliable method. Installing the crack, then the software can work as well.
Q. This keygen doesn't work. When I enter my name and company, it gives me a wrong serial number. A. This is a common problem. Use only lower case in your entries, and only one word for each. Do not put a space in between, which would generate an invalid serial.
Q. When a keygen (particularly CORE's) asks for a string 7 characters long, what am I supposed to type in? A. A string is basically a set of text characters from roman alphabet (alphabetical letters), but numbers are not allowed so if I was to enter the string in; it would be- wolfyse
Q. When I unzip a crack or keygen, all i get is a .nfo with some hacker name. A. The serial number is embedded into the .nfo file. Open it with notepad, you should see info about the hacker group and a serial number and/or instructions. Some of the best cracking teams are CORE, TNT, fossi, and EVC.
Q. Allright, you taught me how to open .nfo files, but what about id.diz? A. Same way, use notepad, or in winRAR, just double click.
Q. When i download a crack or some game warez, all i get is a .nfo and an .ace and/or .rar file. I have winzip but it cannot recognize the file, nor does alladin expander. A. Common problem but easy to solve- just download winRAR at www.download.com there is a crack on this site to register it to full. extra kudos.
Q. When I download a rom or an mp3 it's in some weird format- rom.java, rom.dll, and krazy things. A. The author must have done this to fool webhosts as not to delete the file, use winRAR.
Q. When I download a movie, it's in .avi form but I can't run it. Windows Media attempts to download it, but everytime the codec installation fails. A. You need MP4 and DIVX codecs- such as angel potion and others, wolfyserver.org has them in the 'downloads' section.
Q. How do I crack things myself? A. Use a hex-editor such as SOFTiCE or hexworkshop. It gets more complicated for me to explain from now on, so either read a bunch of tutorials, attend a class at MIT (like i did, heh) or forget it, use our cracks and enjoy the stupid lam3r ride.
Q. Some of your cracks are outdated. A. Yeah the software keeps updating so to keep on top of things, why don't you guys email me, and I will get a more recent crack/keygen/serial.
Q. For the N64 emulators in the emu section, I can't seem to get it to work. A. In UltraHLE you need a GLIDE compatible graphics accelerator such as voodoo3/4/5 (forget about voodoo graphics, banshee, and voodoo2... you cheap asses need to upgrade since zelda64 runs at 10fps on my 500mhz machine) If you don't have one, download Nemu. But that is very rarely compatible. If you have a geforce/gts/2/ultra/3 then you're in luck. get a glide wrapper and the thing runs like a voodoo5. If you have a 3DFX card and use NEMU you probably will experience video problems. the solution? run it on HLE.
Q. But some games don't run on HLE/NEMU/ or either. Any alternatives? A. HLE will never be updated for some reason, and the only thing you can do with HLE and NEMU(you can upgrade nemu) is to download game.ini files that have newer game scripts written in. Check out the emu page or go to a site listed on the related links section. A promising emulator is being developed; code named Project 64, read about it in the emu section.
Q. For Ultra HLE and NEMU, when I run a rom, it says it has a bad rom state and errors, but before I ran it fine, what's wrong? A. Basically, all you have to do select the rom, and from the menu, click 'Start Emulation' or just double click it again.
Q. The music bar opens up a sidebar with windows media player 7.0 and later, sometimes WME crashes or slows down the computer. A. Upgrade your windows media player or select- do not play in window in the IE preferences.
Q. In Windows Media Player 7.1, the music plays on the sidebar; can i still hear files when i close the bar? A. Absolutely.
Q. I have a mac and i'm searching for apple keygens, serials and cracks. A. The only thing you could do is type in the exact keyword of what you want in google.com. eg, "escape velocity nova mac keygen".
Q. I am using WinRAR 2.8 and later, and it says there is ACE support for .ace files. However, when i try to open such files with winrar it says the file is damaged. Is it Winrar's problem or mine? A. It's winrar's problem. Although it is my favorite decompression program, .ace files require winace because of new compression technology and algorithms. Just use WinAce for ACE files and WinRAR for everything else. There is a crack available in the downloads section.
Q. What kind of web design program do you use on wolfyserver? A. Almost all the time, I use Microsoft Frontpage XP for my websites. Only a fool uses notepad and spends hours on a table. I prefer content and aesthetics over trying to be cool 'old skool' even though i know how to code html by hand. I would recommend to-be webmasters to start off with frontpage since it is very efficient, cuts time by 90% and people only look at the end product.
Q. What is the operating system of choice when using cracks and warez? A. It would have to be Windows ME which has the highest compatibility as 9x and is as mainstream. Not to old, not too new.
Q. How come you're not on AIM anymore? A. It's true I haven't been on AIM or online in a while. Nevertheless, I still check all the emails you guys give me so if you don't see me, give me some mailage at tbbw@mrwoof.com .
Q. How do I make an .NFO file so I may become elite and be able to view the file in an NFO viewer such as CORE's and DAMN's? A. Open up notepad, type as many weird characters (ASCII) as you please, then go to "save as", select "All Files" and document.NFO should be the name of the file.
Q. I have a higher resolution than 1024*768 and the SRC™ states I have "Failed" the test. Is there anything wrong? A. Absolutely not. wolfyserver.org 2k3 prefers 1024*768 pixels resolution because that is the minimum size to view all the frames and graphics correctly. Any resolution higher than the usual seventeen inch's is perfectly fine. Be sure to have 32bit colour selected.
Q. When I switch resolutions as directed, my screen flickers with traceable lines. What can I do? A. This is a problem everyone faces even without switching resolutions. Microsoft's Operating Systems including 9x, NT, and XP set the refresh rate (how many times the screen is drawn in a second) to optimal- meaning their definition of 60hz. 60hz is the worst rate since it impairs eyesight over time and causes nausea. In addition, games and websites will not look so great. Any refresh rate above 85hz is flicker-free and will be much more comfortable for your eyes. Any higher won't make much of a difference except in bragging rights. To change your refresh rate (almost 90% of new computer owners have it set at 60hz) go to the display properties by either 1. Right click on your desktop: Properties: Setting or 2. Start: Control Panels: Display. For Apple OS, Apple: Control Panels: Monitors and Colors. Next, check to see if you have your desired resolution selected (1024*768 is ideal for 17-18 inch monitors) and that your colour depth is at its highest. Click "Advanced" and click "Adapter" for windows 9x & ME systems. Set the refresh rate to 85hz or higher. Click apply. For windows XP machines, the option is "List All Modes" in your graphics card settings. Select "1024*768 32bit 85hz" for our "optimal resolution." Click apply. Over time you will notice how comfortable it is. Now you have truly made use of your money.
Q. Why did you write Prelude? Who did you write it for? A. I guess it was first and foremost for myself- to try out my poetic intuition and abilities. Nah, ok yeah I know that's bs. The real reason is here - [removed & transported to restricted access section.] |
