Cucko (EA Custom)

The name used by Redump for an internally developed DRM by EA used between 2009 and 2012. Also known by other names such as "EA DRM" or "EA Core" and was sometimes paired with SecuROM Release Control and Origin.

Comes in two versions. One utilising a disc check based on DMI data so a .DMI or .MDS is required for it to function and a version utilising Online Activation. Sometimes files for the later will be present on discs utilising the former but in an inactive state. If you suspect this is a thing, confirm it with the dumper.
