Crown of creation test:

[broadwing]

So, anyone up for testing? With a bit of luck, this one'll be preserved at last.

The link is broken, because it's been copied from an email. The OP needs to copy the link manually and post it.

I guess you need a kyroflux to write those images yes?

[broadwing]

Technically a supercard pro, as stated in the text file.

Dead link...

[dma]

Most probably deleted by the person who shared it originally, after some people downloaded it, as he didn't seem to have much server space available.
I suggest you try the 4shared link provided by "broadwing" user here.

[Maartau]

Downloaded by "4shared" but it need social network access : I used FaceBook but what I dislike is when "4shared" write we keep your informations .

Crown of Creation was not duplicated (or is seen as modified, or not duplicated on a trace machine).

[broadwing]

It seems the images were recognized as originals by the program (the dsp protection didn't lock) after those images were written on 1,44 disks.

The game did continue.

Maartau: Ok... now go and crack it properly

[kristjanga]

Who is willing to make a copy for me?

[broadwing]

Could those images actually work with hatari and be recognized by the program as official?

[Maartau]

Maartau: Ok... now go and crack it properly

That's planned ... I'm totally "overbooked" ATM : stuffs to finish in hurry before the 1st September .

Could those images actually work with hatari and be recognized by the program as official?

From what I heard, yes... Protection/Copylock, don't know what is used (haven't checked/put fingers in ).

Who is willing to make a copy for me?

Oki doki, I'll have a look under Hatari ... Which format you want ?
P.s; I precise I need time .

[kristjanga]

Well I would like to have it on floppy disks..
if anyone can make a perfect copy and send the disks to me, it would be great
I will pay for all costs with paypal or somthing.

@kristjanga : we don't forget you, ATM I'm 550Km Far from home & my laptop is nearly totally dead (STeem / Hatari don't run anymore ).

At home I only have a 1040 STF & 1040 STE, will see what I can do .

Which country are you from ?

[broadwing]

Has anyone tested the images under hatari in order to see if the program runs well?

[mikro]

Maartau: in case you need help with the DSP part, I can give a hand. I've promised to look at CoC loooong time ago but I'm such a terrible cracker that I don't know even what to start with. But if somebody tells me set this and that a look for that, that will be much easier, esp. because DSP can be debugged in parallel, even on physical machine.

[lotek_style]

Maartau and Mikro - it would rock if you manage to crack it Also it would be nice to get missing modfiles (if there are any in there we don't have yet).

...ATM I'm 550Km Far from home & my laptop is nearly totally dead (STeem / Hatari don't run anymore ).

New laptop bought : installing all the PC & ST softs (I need to have more free time as I'm also helping my parents @ work in house).

I'll be back in the next days : the old laptop died quickly & had to save all my mess in hurry : there's all in all senses .

Not yet, but it should .

Thanks for the offer mikro .
