Made new Galerians (Europe) patches to replace the ones from back in the day which contained a cracktro. The goal of this patcher is to not only support every LibCrypt game, but to also be as stealth in defeating the protection as possible.
A total of 234 different LibCrypt protected game discs are now supported. A significant amount of work has been put into the compatibility list (which links/uses redump titles/ids for maximum clarity).
Added version detection for Mánager de Liga (Spain) and Mánager de Liga (Spain) (Preproduction). Only (Spain) (Preproduction) has LibCrypt protection so now the official release without LibCrypt protection will be identified and not patched.
Implemented smaller less intrusive patches for Final Fantasy VIII Europe Disc 1, Final Fantasy VIII Fance Disc 1, Final Fantasy VIII Germany Disc 1/2/3/4, Final Fantasy VIII Italy Disc 1/2/3/4, Final Fantasy VIII Spain Disc 1, and OverBlood 2 Italy (based on BAD's patch) (thanks @Littlemouse1968).
OverBlood 2 Europe v1.0 was released with broken LibCrypt protection in the official pressed PSX CD-ROMs resulting in a crash at the end of Episode 2 with even the original disc. This has been fixed with a new patch (thanks @Littlemouse1968). OverBlood 2 Europe v1.1 removed the broken protection, so version detection to the patcher has been added so that nothing will be done for v1.1 Disc 1 or Disc 2.
Imagine the best selling console of it's generation publishing and pressing real retail copies of multiple titles with broken anti-piracy techniques, ohh wait you don' t have too
Implemented a patch for Formula One 99 (Europe) (En,Fr,De,It) (Protoype 8/12/1999), (thanks to @Littlemouse1968). As of this moment, every LibCrypt game I am aware of is supported!
Implemented new patches for Final Fantasy IX thanks to @Littlemouse1968). These patches fix an issue that caused the game to lock up when you need to change to the next disc (this is a game spanning 4 different CD-ROMs). The new patches now work perfect.
