Thanks! After coming back and re-reading some of the sections of the guide, it's really surprising how few steps it takes to crack most things, and how simple a user guide on something like that would be. You'd think someone would have done something like this at some point. (or maybe they have and I haven't seen it)
Thanks a lot, will read it ASAP. I'm definitely going to move to Linux and cracked games were the first thing I thought about
Good luck with the move! I would say in general you don't need to be worried about cracked games on Linux. Sometimes Windows repacks crash while installing (if you saw the section on precompressors in the guide, that's what's breaking here), so if you primarily use repacks as a source you may run into a problem every once in a while, but most other aspects should be seamless.
A very useful write-up, will definitely be adding these to my repertoire!
I've got all my 200+ games, mostly from Steam, working on Linux and have encountered many of the listed DRM but I mostly solved them using other groups cracks and mainly the Goldberg Emu.
This will certainly help me in the future, especially with some more obscure titles that don't have many pre-cracked files flying around online, many thanks!
Reading it right now, it is a great resource. Thank you so much for working on this
Why is this called The GNU Testament, making it sound like it would be a core document of the GNU project, which put a lot of work and thought (including a couple of actually fundamental documents) into the development of a free and open operating system, and has plenty little to do with cracking games?
Hi, this guide is targeted at GNU/Linux users, so I thought I'd have some fun with that and make the title into a pun based on "the new testament" from the christian bible (since this is the second edition of this guide).
