@picandor I dunno, old serial sites are legitimately useful. There's a shitload of stuff on archive.org that would be completely useless otherwise. That is, if most of them doesn't come with a crack or serial alreadyThat's potentially a lot of software lost, right the fuck thereNot everyone has the skills to fuck with a disassembler for the billions of programs out there. That's asking a bit much

@coolboymew this is why I so ardently defend "piracy" and emulation of legacy games. Abandonware deserves to be at least somewhat maintained. I have somewhat of a bias considering my job for 5 years was digitizing and preserving old texts. @miscbrains

Don't worry about serials. Worry about the programs themselves being lost. You can crack a serial or tell a program to ignore it. Source: try looking into old UNIX software or Japanese computer software and how much was undumped and probably lost.

Speaking of preservation nightmares, magnetic tape.When the Nintendo Gigaleak happened, people were asking why so much shit was not in the leak like source code and whatnot. Turns out, when Nintendo digitized tapes many of them had tape rot. Al from Bitsavers I heard discuss in a chat about why so much HP software was lost, the QIC tapes they used were shit/stored badly/both and rotted easily.

When I mean without serials I mean bypassing copy protection. Case in point; FlexLM. A lot of high end and UNIX based software (in particular) used this piece of shit license manager that cracking became a sport with. The idea is that you had to have a file or license server on the network to use software and it was very easy to bust open. https://www.eetimes.com/eda-group-circulates-flexlm-hacking-tips/https://web.archive.org/web/20120208112719/http://www.woodmann.com/crackz/Flexlm.htm

@coolboymew @PhenomX6 @miscbrains @picandor tbh by the time serials became commonly used as a method of copy protection, most copy protection used by commercial and shareware programs was simple bordering on braindead, so as long as the programs survive, its not especially difficult or time consuming reviving them (ofc there is good copy protection if you know where to look, but it's a lot rarer than most people think)

@netdoll @PhenomX6 @picandor @miscbrains yes/no, the issue is that the "solution" is not accessible to everyone

You'll find stricter copy protection in games and especially high-end UNIX or later on Windows software. I'm talking dongles, FlexLM, or in the case of a few games/smaller dev programs, putting the dox of the purchaser in the copy. I've heard the reason Princess Maker for the x68000 is still undumped is because every copy had the purchasers info embedded in it as copy protection. Novell Netware was the same and every copy was "serialized".

@coolboymew @PhenomX6 @miscbrains @picandor Not everyone, but a lot of people. And that will only continue becoming more true the more people are forced to care about the issue and appropriately invest in the infrastructure necessary to combat it.

@netdoll @picandor @miscbrains @coolboymew yep. It works with smaller niche products and higher cost ones, since it's not like with fraps or spinrite where you can get a copy with a throwaway email for not much.But it doesn't scale well nor does it work for high demand products where everyone passes around the same copy of fraps (before obs and gpu accelerated capture killed it)

@coolboymew@shitposter.club @PhenomX6@fedi.pawlicker.com @picandor@gameliberty.club Well billions is a bit of a stretch, but ~ low million is probably realistic. The serial number era was moderately small. Serials carried on for longer- but you needed a key server on the other end to auth them for certain games. Code wheels and tell me the x word on page y of the manual were amusing too.Not wrong tho, cracking old games is quite a bit easier than trying to unfuck denuvo bullshit or whatever the current nightmare is.
