And the other three.

Sky Blaster is a BETA version, its a buggy piece of crap software, lots of assumptions made by the programmer, and trying to overwrite the end of RAM as well!!

RENAME "RICKST.ZIP" to "RICKST.PRG"

think that's down to Marcer's weird wish list... eg She-Fox which is Vixen with a different PI1 etc.

Although the high-level interpreter stuff is nice

Yeah I guessed that, it was there to be done so I did it.

To be honest I think Marcer only wants them all for completion sake, because lets face it, most of these games will probably never be played again. 

Might well check out ULS, thats the ST inspired version of WHDLoad isn't it?

I have no clue buddy, I did find out Treasure Trap v1.07 was already done.

Is there anything else on that list of his thats already been done?  I'm not keen on duplicating the work of others, i'm pretty much just going by his list.

It was beyond easy.

Before i'd even run the game I could see the routine in an endless loop to colour the screen and realised it was a disk check, utterly, utterly useless!

I had it cracked before i'd even run it to check for protection.

OK, will do a check for the others, I really can't be arsed duplicating others work, I know it irritates me when I see someone say "i'm going to re-crack this!" and I think, I did it 100% first time around, I don't need my version replacing with yours! 

Hunter was quite easy, the encryption on bootup wasn't very well done, and obviously the Copylock was easy to remove.

My list is based on two things

1. Special version & never been touched.
2. Not found alter single disk hack.

if u just want to hack never been cracked in a way. Then let me know and i can filter this

1. Is there soo many games (c) missing as stand along cracks at this moment? I may have done my homework badly. But I have tried too sweep lookin throw as many menu collections around.

2.  Done is done, just tryin to avoid bad feelings.
but still reach my goal.

How come I dont got reports with specific title & crack crews? as I do have alter copys of MANY disks.

hard to belive this. I think your file transfer didnt go well.

But please give me more details and I'll try to invasteigate and pop up an new update pack asap!

Also, if u read last .NFO I dont test or take any responsibilty for Ppera things nor include future releases from him!

I assume we're talking about Marcers DVD not the releases i've just done?

CJ wrote on 21.10.09 at 11:08:41:



Hmmm, this is very strange to me, I have tested all games (at least played tested for about 10 sec).
If games crash I have added that to the listing.
Reason I included these is, that they may work on a real hw with an special tos and mem.

as all games is tested with Emu, Tos 1.02/1.62 512kb-4mb. Pasti on/off. HD on/off, Drive B on/off.

Have u also followed my instructions if a game faild for u?

As I belive we speak about my GameDvd. Its important for me to find bugs I may missed!

Nope, I follwed my instructions of "if a dvd is full of bad images, delete the damn thing and don't trust anything on it"

Also, putting our HD Patches (which we supply as ZIP) on your DVD in MSA format... is... mind bogglingly stupid.  They are not designed for floppy use, and you just added an extra layer of harassment for anyone trying to use them.

Not to mention the fact that by doing this you break the file integrity checks built into the archive, introducing another level of possible file corruption (we recommend people extract the archives directly onto the atari system in order to eliminate transfer errors)

Well, I won't even ask about the ones that don't fit on a floppy, or have several subfolders.....

Oh, I did an Dir called HD Working Games..
But maybe u dont have that one..
these zips are "files" so u easy extract the pack on your hd.

But then. You seems not to have the real thing (dvd) only a copy of an early collection which isnt even completded in download form & many corrupt downloads.. so.. I belive your critics shouldnt be taken seriously.

U dont came up with titles so I can fix... brrr

But I will soon release complete lot. Maybe in one rar in week form for completion until next xmas..

Well, considering the disc you are selling contains a lot of our work (admittedly, bastardised greatly by yourself) you neglected to actually send us a copy of it.

Whatever dude, whatever. I'm quite glad I don't have the real thing. Paying for a corrupted collection of files that working versions can be found online for free isn't my idea of fun

Marcer_ wrote on 22.10.09 at 09:30:01:


Will you be making a 4.3gb MSA file for that as well, or will you be shipping it on 6291 floppy images?
