Cavitas

[CodyJarrett]

There is a version of Cavitas circulating which does not work on emulators or a real Amiga.

Codetapper is pretty sure that there may be something wrong with the ADF. It's probably from an original, but it includes some MFM stuff and probably wasn't dumped properly.

This version stops on the titlescreen, showing a cockpit and pilot.

Does anyone have a proper crack or an original?

Can I just correct that statement by saying, "Codetapper is 100% sure that there maybe a chance that a possible problem may definitely occur on a rare occassion from time to time - but only on odd occasions, definitely infrequently but without doubt more often than not".

Hope that clears it up...

Techies: Game has a step track loop counting to 82, possibly extra data past track 80 but I haven't disassembled this game enough yet...

As I did some tests on the posted ADF I found something interesting .....

At the bootscreen with the pilot, the game seems to be "caught" in an endless loop on adress $C10D68 !! Second thing I found out is, that CAVITAS seem to be original on 2 Disks !!! I found this in the source of the adf : "ã5a 4 ƒInsert †J' Disk 2
‡Ó<"

So maybe, in the loop, he waits for the second disk ??

[CodyJarrett]

Yeah. You're right Retroman.

Anyone got the second disk? :)

With a search on good old Copernic, this site comes up with the game listed for sale: http://www.sintech-shop.de/amiga.htm

An excerpt from the page:

Orders please send to: sintech@online.de
AMIGA Price in DM
Cavitas 36,50

Is 36,50 DM a lot?

Maybe someone with more time on their hands than me could possibly email them asking about the game etc? How many disks, does it work, are they still in business yada yada yada...

I had the original of Cavitas and no-where did it say that it was 2 disks, but the game didn't work on my A1200 or my friend's A600 -Strange!

Could someone upload good version of ADF of that game to the Zone? There is only bad dump on planetemu http://planetemu.net/?section=roms&dat=257&action=showrom&id=327260

This game is using a funny protection, if you copy it, the objects mask is desactivated lol
it means you can move in the "cavitas", but impossible to opens doors, get new options, etc.....

Try the WHDLoad version

[Retroplay]

Yeah, it's either WHDLoad or SPS images if you want to play it.
You need a registered WHDLoad for this game btw. ;)

[s2325]

I need ADF to make better illusion of my old Amiga and old times.

[Retroplay]

I'm afraid you're out of luck then.
Unless somebody knows how to crack it properly. ;)

[s2325]

So that ADF on planetemu is bad crack or bad dump?

[Retroplay]

Bad crack I guess. :(

[dlfrsilver]

yes i have tried to crack the copy protection, and it's not easy :(

[Galahad/FLT]
