At some point he said:

i never said i found the perfect solution, i manually did that for my   self.
other groups later may have better crack methods no dought.   Everything that locks also unlocks!
one more tip, did you ever "worked" with the sc1 installer? do you   remember the cd-keys 1212-1212-121- (dont recall the exact digits now)   but was only 12 that was a universal decoder?.

If we all work together we might come up with something. I remember when Mass Effect 1 came out and everyone was trying to crack the game to pass the "galaxy map" section, eventually the solution came from a random user.

When a lot of people are working together towards cracking something, sooner or later that thing will break.

Unfortunately I am pretty much in the dark when it comes to this kind of stuff. My only suggestion is that maybe by comparing the instructions in the beta installer to the retail one some clues may be revealed. Obviously some things have to be the same in both so then it will be easier to concentrate only on the differences. Sorry if this sounds silly.
