Crown of creation test:

[calimero]

Hi,
can somebody upload manual again? I will put it on my web site just to not get lost again

[lotek_style]

Now that STNICCC is over... Maartau... any news?

[calimero]

Omikronman send me manual. I crop it little bit and put it on: http://milan.kovac.cc/atari/software/in ... /GAMES.F30

[broadwing]

Any recent news regarding crown of creation lately? How close are we to an emulator working disk image?

[lotek_style]

I guess nothing happened yet Giving this a bump cannot hurt

[broadwing]

Perhaps maartau could tell us.

Also, it would be nice to test the kryoflux images on hatari, to see if they are now recognized as original.

You're right .Yes giving a bump cannot hurt .

I will "check" it in the next days : it's planned & I nearly finished to setup all my configs* **

* ** : "somebody" have hacked my securities, also changed my passwords, and finally locked access to my computers .

To be back at our problems, no problems to give an answer at, ... and not in one year that time !

Well received . I'll have another look via debugger -> the protection is well embedded in the code, what you change on a side breaks on another .

Anyway, I remain active, no problems .

I played this on my Falcon a while back, seemed I had found a working copy, I just was terribly bad at it. Where does the copy protection kick in, because it sounds like I couldn't have been playing a cracked version.

Anyone else find it odd that the top tier hardest game to find for the Falcon is this one, and the hardest to find for the Jaguar is Battlesphere, and they are both rather similar games?

Hi,

Same question for me.
I think I have a working version (ie no cracktro at the beginning).
I enter the manual word as requested by the game and then, I can play the game.

Is there a limitation later in the game if I entered a correct word ?
Or is the protection only related to the word to enter from the game manual ?

Does the crack "only" consist in returning OK if you don't write a correct word ?

It works well under hatari for me

Regards
Laurent

[christos]

Yeah, same thing happened to me back then when I played it. It ended at mission 18-20 or something. The main problem was I think that the game was too easy. Silly levels of easy. But nothing stopped me from reaching the end.. I think at least.

[Maartau]

All is fine between the dumps & the doc .

I tried to remove / crack / bypass the "passwords" protection -> after several methods, always same result -> it crashes later ... That's why I said it's hard to crack / well embedded .

At least, we have the manual ... I'll retry to "break" it later, it needs a lot of time to trace the whole .

Where can be downloaded full "uncracked" version?

for Calimero .

Have to find the dumps & manual who are somewhere in my ST packed mess .

[leech]

Ha, if you can track it down, it is om Marcer's ftp, that is where I had gotten it.

[LaurentS]

I got it from Marcer (probably Marcer's game DVD).

[Maartau]

It let me a few time to dig out of my mess too .

I also found those 2 versions on AM :

Crown of Creation 3D [Falcon030] 1.3

Crown of Creation 3D [Falcon030] 1.1

http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-st ... 31649.html

http://www.atarimania.com/pgedump.awp?id=31649

I haven't checked them for the moment .

"I must refresh my memory & see if I can find more docs about DSP..."

[leech]

Ha, now I'm wondering if I was playing the 1.1 or 1.3...

[alexh]

Anyone have the COC SuperCardPro dumps? Or a working 1.3b?

The one on Marcer's GameDVD is the one I have, which still requires the manual. There was talk about getting a SuperCardPro or Kryoflux dump on Facebook, but they so far only linked back to this thread about the manual.

Try to contact MacFalcon, he is still around and I have a "file dump" of the original he owns. So perhaps he can help you with a disk dump as well.

[mikro]

So what is the current status of the disk dumps (not the crack, obviously there hasn't been any yet) ? Do we still need kryoflux images or those are around already? (where?)
